First of all I'm not actually a Yorkshire supporter.wholesale Atlanta Braves Hats The problem I have with Somerset as I said is that the bowling has almost total reliance on overseas bowlers. Other counties have overseas born players here and there but its the total dominance of the Somerset attack by overseas bowlers which is very bad for cricket in the country. English bowlers account for less than a quarter of all wickets taken by Somerset this year. If you look round the country there are a number of good young batsman around the county circuit but very few bowlers, thats because counties like Somerset only use discount Atlanta Braves Hatsthem to fill in as stock bowlers while their overseas strike bowlers have a rest.
I like Yorkshire's youthful team and hope it's successfull. I would also like to see some of our younger bowlers come through but it doesn't happen overnight and there have been releases.
Somerset have also provided several English born players (if that is the criteria you want to choose) to various national squads over the past few years Cheap Cincinnati Reds Hats (Hildreth, Buttler, Trego plus several more at under-19 level, including bowlers)
You may have a point about the use of Kolpaks, and the rules are being tightened up. But singling out a county with a population of 500,00 and comparing it with one of 5 million seems a bit churlish. Or are you one of the people that believes only the counties with test grounds and big money should be first class wholesale Cincinnati Reds Hats ?
Suppiah is from Malaysia which doesn't play test cricket, he has learned all his cricket in the UK. Plenty of county and test players in the past were born in non test playing countries, I even believe Dexter was born in Italy. Or do you want to focus on parentage?
