Potential International Trades

[straw man]

Would New Zealand fans trade both Southee and Boult for Cook?

Wouldn't even take it as an NZer - what's the point in trading our only strength in order to try to shore up a weakness? Even with Cook we still wouldn't bat teams out of matches, but we'd lose the ability to bowl teams out. We'd just lose less badly (on paper).

And we'd be relying on another 2 or 3 injury prone young fast bowlers coming through and being as good as Southee and Boult, which is by no means guaranteed.

NZ could use a reasonable (not asking for Ajmal here) subcontinent spinner to support our fast bowlers. Can offer a wicketkeeper-batsman in Ronchi. Pakistan?

Would England fans take George Dockrell for Eoin Morgan back?

Could be academic as Dockrell will probably move anyway though...

Doherty and Maxwell up for free.

Who wants Hughes or Cowan? (actually reckon some sides will go for it with the right price)

yes if England want Dockrell i doubt he is going to say no. And there is no way you'd make that trade now anyway. Dockrell whilst promising is behind a few in the county game, Morgan on the other hand is a key player in ODI and T20.

The good thing about Dockrell is he will probably have had the experience of 2 or 3 world cups when england finally pick him.

Heaps of sides would take Hughes. Heaps.

Yes, very true.

If Morgs can't get into the test setup I'd want him to come back to Ireland. Would be epic having him lead the side in a WC and do wonders for the game back home.

Then we'd swap him for Shakib, keeping in spirit with this thread

Also noone wants Hughes
