Because Hogan, if he comes back, would be the incumbent on a British passport. Plus SA can't go for Crook with Botha on the list.

Yes, but he would be playing here on his English passport. Ergo, overseas player.

Same thing with Robson, Jaques, Allenby, Hogan et al.

No the English Aussies play as locals.
Any idea what Qadir doing just took 5/32 vs Sri Lanka under 23?

I think you're wrong brockley, but I can't actually find a source either way that states it outright.

I'm pretty sure they're just removing the rule that stipulates that an Australian passport holder or someone born in Australia can't play as an overseas player, meaning Robson and Hogan will become the overseas players for NSW and WA respectively.

Otherwise they'd probably break the ECB rules relating to county cricket; I don't think you can play as a local there if you're also playing as a local somewhere else.

You can't play as a local in two countries. So if Robson were to decide to play for New South Wales as a local player he'd become an overseas player for Middlesex, which would mean Middlesex would need to release one of Robson or Rogers.

He'd also be in breach of his Middlesex contract which could get a bit messy legally.

Yeah exactly. I'm pretty sure Robson will be playing as an overseas player for NSW for that reason.

Robson could always be called up to the English Performance squad,would ruin all our plans,wouldn't put England past doing it.England called up Ballance after a gun season in Zimbabwe.

Why would you even bother entertaining the idea of selecting a young cricketer who wants to play for England when you only pick 4 or 5 batsman each game.

If Robson is selected in the performance squad (as I'd think he's almost certain to be) it'll be based on his recent performances, not some attempt to ruin an Australian plan.

They might not though, given letting him play Shield gives him plenty of FC cricket and means they can bring another player in the Performance Squad - not unlike what Aus A did last season, not calling up Hughes nor Khawaja because they were playing in the CC anyway.

Then again, England probably would want him in the squad to try and secure his loyalty, if nothing else.
