Ethics?
Isn't that who Cook and Bopara play for? |

Sadly Sledge, ethics is vanishing quite rapidly in this world! It's a norm nowadays.

In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

How is it that he can renege on a 3 year contract ? Surely
Warwickshire must be compensated after he pulls the plug after 12
months? They invested plenty in the lad , relocation ,
accommodation and quick promotion into the 1st XI , nevermind all that
dosh.
It appears contractual obligations no longer matter in any sport , they're not worth the paper they're written on. Turn it around and see what would happen if the county tried to terminate a contract early and see the hoohaa then. It's unprofessional and unethical in my eyes . |

Yeah. Found this out today as well. He will play for the Lions soon if everything goes to plan. Very good news for SA cricket...perhaps counties will be more reluctant to sign SA youngsters now.
1st the whole Petersen debacle and then Van Jaarsveld, has really made the UCB sit up and take notice. I wouldn't be surprised if they were very much involved in bringing him back. |

He could well end up with nowhere to play. I'd expect
counties to be very wary of signing him up and the money from domestic
cricket here is average, at best. I can only think the powers
that be have made some promises that have swayed him.
If this is a knee jerk reaction , he could regret it for the rest of his life. |

if I were a South African cricketer I would be reluctant to play international cricket with a guy who brazenly turned his back on the country for material reasons, whatever his reason for the volte face may be.

Right ! So the comment on the removal of quotas is having
an immediate effect . England's loss and South Africa's gain ,
this lad is going places.

no Sledge quite the opposite - having arrived over here signing a 3 year deal and saying he wants to qualify England, he's now had Gauteng contact Warks to tell them he's not coming back.

So he's going for England qualification Clobs ? He was looked on
as the new kid on the block over here , oozed class on a number of
occasions.

Vaughan Van Jaarsveld has turned his back on his Kolpak deal with Warwicks, much to their chagrin - I think my sympathy for them is literally in negative amounts!

And I've heard that they signed Wavell Hinds too as a kolpak player ofcourse! Hinds won't lose out really, he's in no way close to getting a recall to the Windies team soon. Best he try and learn something next season and see if he can then do something for Jamaica and make a return. He has age on his side still!

Jayawardene now confirmed to play half a season as Derbyshire's mad signing spree continues.

Here's a bit of a turn up - Alex Loudon has retired, aged just 27, to take up a business career

All credit to Worcester , it's a gamble taking the lad on , but if he comes back to Jones ala 2005 , they'll reap the benefits.
Won't it be brilliant if we see the old Simon Jones and the anxiousness of the selectors in just who to leave out of the national side ! |

Money was a major factor - Jones felt he was worth more (having just lost a central contract) than Glamorgan were prepared or able to offer him, given an appalling injury record and it looks like Worcestershire have taken the gamble on him.
Press conference at New Road tomorrow, where Jones is expected to be unveiled. |

Yep , the cushion of a central contract gone must've been a factor.
The more I think on it , the more I think it's about money ! |

It might not have been the over riding factor but the fact is that Glamorgan would have struggled to meet anything close to his likely wage expectations given all the current investment in their ground

Simon Jones is leaving Glamorgan after a bit of soul-searching.
Worcester looks like they've secured his services - let's hope
the lad's a good swimmer!
Nice to read that Glamorgan wish him well and understand that he needs a new challenge. Money apparently , was not the motivating factor - nice that , if true. Edited by Sledger - 18 October 2007 at 1:45pm |

I was hoping Leics would sign an overseas player to stir the blood a little bit for next season.
Instead we've got Boeta Dippenaar...for 2 seasons as well |

The South African board are in negotiation with the ECB on the
kolpack issue Clobs. The major concern is the clause that states
that players won't be available for international duty - the south
africans want this removing from the contract.
I can see their point too - so many youngsters are taking up kolpacks , it's a huge loss to South African cricket. |

yes but if they are signing on Kolpaks their international careers are as good as over so there is no benefit to West Indian cricket

A good bit of West Indians are making it back in County cricket. Collins has signed for Surrey I think for 2 years. 6 international have made appearance over the last 2 years I think! One can only hope it helps them to improve!

Ramps is Surrey, he is so goo. He batted like a dream this whole match and never looked in any trouble. Two seasons in a row averaging over 100 is utterly amazing. Great performance Ramps. A true hero.
