So Kolpakers are rated higher than Ian Bell at county level. Interesting.

I guess Botha is a negative, over the wicket merchant? No chance of him being dropped.....

Aye, Carter, Streak, Trott at one time, James, Botha and a few nobodies I can't even remember. Warks have been right up there in terms of Kolpaks.

He's identified one of the biggest problems though in that counties have got 'lazy' about producing their own talent.

I'm not anti-kolpak totally - think Durham have got it just about right.

Trott was never a Kolpak.

South African who came over to play on a British passport and served his qualification period to become "English".

That's basically acceptable.
