England here I come.
This is an unpaid ad but thought a young player in our club
might be interested in making further inquiries. A note of warning though, one should always do
their homework and investigate fully before committing.
We have a huge demand for Australian players of all standards, whether it be a player on the cusp of First Class Cricket or a 4th Grade player that just wants to experience playing in the UK, we will help anyone that is keen to go!
Without the support of clubs around Australia, we cannot fill the vacancies we have in the UK for 2013, with approximately 110 clubs seeking players immediately from us.
The vast majority of our clubs will provide free accommodation for the player, with assistance to find employment and coaching income. In many cases, our clients receive 100% reimbursement for the cost of their flights and many also receive a weekly retainer for playing, this is dependent on each individual’s ability of course.
I encourage you to please circulate this throughout your clubs and give all of your club members the opportunity to play abroad, as it is a wonderful experience and with the Ashes on, what a time to be in the UK!
Kindest Regards

A day to remember
I am always thinking of cricket. Eventually, my
exasperated wife said, "You think nothing but cricket. I bet you don't
even remember the day our first child was born."
"Of course I do," I said with pride. "How could I forget that day, It was the day Steve Waugh scored his 100 not out on the final ball of the day's play against the poms at the SCG."
GOOOOOOO CITY
