At this point any quality first class players are welcome imo, from a quality standpoint having the very best of the best won't necessarily help quality because they might be too far ahead of the others, what you want are players who are quality but not so good that the others will lose some motivation. when you think the quality of the other person is unattainable then it bangs you up mentally. You want a level where the players can see themselves reaching.

so basically we don't need shane warnes or adam gilchrists, just solid quality first class players would be the best type of foreign players atm imo, they would help improve the overall quality the most atm and for the future. then once the level improves over the whole competition start looking at the best players.
yep, players like william porterfield, Ravi Rampaul, Farvez Maharoof, Dhaniram(india), Nathan Astle should be more than welcome to play at our first class league. some players who are in the County Cricket Circuit but not internationally recognized should be welcome too.
There is one catch though: MONEY TALKS! this will only happen once we pay our first class cricketers salary that is something these players are willing to accept, I do not see this happen.

ps: welcome back to the forum btw, Gowza
