I tend to think he will go.He wont go. Just trying to get a better contract from NZ Cricket me thinks
I may be being naive but would South Australia pay him more than what he's getting now in NZ? If so, that surprises meI tend to think he will go.
He's never been valued by New Zealand Cricket, and he has a young family now. He probably wants the chance to cash in on his talent and earn some real dollars for himself and his family and get the respect he deserves.
His talent that remains unfufilled? He doesn't deserve any respect until he can perform consistently at the highest level, which he has very rarely done. I agree that he was given a hard time of it in Test match cricket, but given the lack of Test's we play then it hasn't been too much of an issue.I tend to think he will go.

He rates Vincent quite highly doesn't he?Be very interested to hear thierry henry's reaction to this news
It depends if he's on a central contract with NZC or not. If you aren't on an NZC contract, you earn a pittance.I may be being naive but would South Australia pay him more than what he's getting now in NZ? If so, that surprises me

He's definitely on a central contract...and yes I agree with your 2nd sentence.It depends if he's on a central contract with NZC or not. If you aren't on an NZC contract, you earn a pittance.
Personally, I think he's doing a 'Skippy' Sinclair to ensure he gets an NZC contract this year - they are up for renewal soon.
Wasn't sure, I thought he either rated him very highly or had a view similar to his opinion on Vettori.

Agreed.I'd rather lose Sinclair than Vincent.
When was that? Badly treated by Bracewell maybe, but NZC?? Surely every player wants to play in front of their fans, and Vincent has a lot of fans over here.For me, he's been awfully treated by New Zealand Cricket and I wouldn't blame him at all if he turned his back on NZC.
I don't think he has been treated "awfully". He probably should have been originally selected for the VB Series but he hasn't done himself that many favours in recent times with his shot selectionI would imagine based on the NZC contracts, you'd have a top five of Vettori, Bond, Fleming, Oram and Styris meaning Vincent wouldn't be earning a lot - probably only $50,000 - $70,000.
I'd say he'd earn far more being on a top contract with South Australia.

Ironically, he's still the highest averaging test opener since Richardson (IIRC).His talent that remains unfufilled?
