From what I've read he'd play for whoever asked him first, but he's just not willing to sacrifice playing county cricket to play Shield cricket, but he'd be happy to play both.Doubt anyone need worry, from the press it's pretty clear who Robson has hitched his wagon to. Would be quite close to getting a game on performance anyway you'd think?
Yeah up there with Ed Joyce and Ballance for my money.Robson the best CC batsmen this year no?
Well, CA could just throw some money and a guaranteed Test spot his way. I mean, that's the way to get the best out of blokes, right?From what I'd read he'd play for whoever asked him first, but he'd just not willing to sacrifice playing county cricket to play Shield cricket, but he'd be happy to play both.
I know what he is saying and he makes some valid points but the throw a central contract and assuring him his place in the side is silly. He isn't the messiah, a good young prospect with a strong technique. I think he'd play for Aus though, and to be honest I would say it is more likely especially if he can carry on playing CC.Well, CA could just throw some money and a guaranteed Test spot his way.

EDIT: TheRoar. Oh man.
He needs to back up this year with another good one next IMO - Lions maybe the place for him this winter, certainly wouldn't like to see him on tour ahead of people who have played consistently well over more than just a handful of games.Doubt anyone need worry, from the press it's pretty clear who Robson has hitched his wagon to.

Pattinson wasn't born in Australia though.Because the rule that they are thinking of removing states that an Australian born player cant play as an overseas player in the shield. Darren Pattinson could though.
I can only assume it's a rule literally decades old.What's the logic behind that rule? Aus not want to run the risk of dual passporters honing there skills in SS then playing for someone else?
not sure if making joke or england is two injuries away from lolYeah up there with Ed Joyce and Ballance for my money.
Yeah exactly. That's the whole point of what's happening in this thread. Robson won't be able to play as a local player in both England in Australia if they go ahead with the proposed changes but he will be able to play as an overseas player in Australia and a local in England, which he can't currently for reasons I'm yet to figure out.Because the rule that they are thinking of removing states that an Australian born player cant play as an overseas player in the shield.

We are talking about the county season you utter muppet, not prospective England batsmen. Joyce has been outstanding and Ballance is a very good prospect. Embarrassing post from you.not sure if making joke or england is two injuries away from lol
