Future in Cricket?

I'm going to play for Canada hopefully by the time I start playing they have test status.

Yea but I think it would be most difficlut to get into a international team in the sub-continent. There are so many people and so much talent that there will always be someone better then yourself.

But getting into the Canadian team is a peice of cake

"Lack of comepitetion" is the main thing as you know the Canadian team does not have many players but there a lot of people who play cricket here. But do not wish to get into team. Which gives the few who would like to get into the team a beter chance.

14. Very determined to make it in the under 19 side by the time im 16.

I was rejected by warwickshire along with my mates on a number of occasions, what was hurtful was that when we turned up for trials, it would appear the sqaud had already been chosen, most of the kids being from affluent backgrounds, as when we were batting and bowling...none of the coaches would bother to look at us. yet ive played for Birmingham Schools with success and have been scoring almost a thousand runs for my club's 1st team since i was 17 in a very competetive league, which included many well known players who were seeking experince, these included:

Marlon Black: West Indies, Taufeeq Umar: pakistan, Trevor Penny: Warwickshire, yasar Arafat and Yasir Hameed Pak and i also played against the Pak Team before the world cup 1999 in a Charity match in which i Scored 21 against Shoaib, Wasim and Mushtaq, Razzaq and Azhar ( Waqar, Saqlain and Youhana were on our side to make it more competative).

 

All il say is there are so many excellent naturally gifted asian players in Birmingham, but Counties do not give them a chance! Kabir and Kadeer had to leave a county side because of lack of oppertunities!

pls mate dont say asian lads dont get enough opportunities! look how many are currently playing in the county teams!

all i have found is that there are many kids that dont get opportunities, but the only thing you can do is get over it and keep working hard! whilst a coach can look at you in the nets (if he even looks at you as you said!) he cant argue with stats! (ps are you playing in the birmgham league?

What exactly are you trying to say? That the selectors are rascist? Becasue if that is it you're absolutely wrong how can they be racist see how they are treating Monty. and If a player is good he will make it if the asian players perform bad they cant keep them in on the basis that they will be accused of rascism by people like you. How could you even think such a thing.

I suppose the great advantage of not having a coach is being able to figure things out for yourself, especially bowlers. Some players rely on their coach too much and don't allow them selves to be creative and spend most of their time thinking about what their coach would be saying.

Score lots of runs for a club and get into the Australian side...sounds easy. Probably about 20 good leagues/districts around Melbourne alone, not to mention all those teams have their own 12 man sides.

It is far easier to get into the national team at a young age through a cricket acadamy rathen than a long climb through the ranks.

A great deal of luck has to be in your favour aswell
