Second teams[edit]

A few players have second teams listed:

Shakib Al-Hasan: Khulna Division/Worcestershire
Matt Prior: Sussex/Victoria
Ryan ten Doeschate: Essex/Tasmania
Dwayne Bravo: Trinidad and Tobago/Victoria
Chris Gayle: Jamaica/Western Australia
Kieron Pollard: Trinidad and Tobago/South Australia

Aside from perhaps Al-Hasan, who played for Worcs last season, and will play Twenty20 this year, I can't see any reasoning for this. As far as I'm aware, those who played in the Australian Big Bash are not contracted for more than the tournament they played in. Furthermore, why just the Australian sides? ten Doeschate has played Twenty20 for teams in Zimbabwe and New Zealand this winter. The West Indians all played in the last IPL (as I recall), while Bravo and Pollard played in the last English Twenty20. And if we're going down this road - why not Ravi Bopara: Essex/Dolphins? David Hussey: Victoria/Notts. I'd advocate stripping away all second teams. Thoughts? HornetMike (talk) 13:55, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, only their current One Day teams should be listed. This is an ODI tournament, it has got nothing to do with Twenty20. --- Managerarc ^talk 11:56, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
