Losing Private Ryan
On the issue of Ryan McLaren's withdrawal from the South African squad, Neil Manthop, in Supercricket, feels Kent could have allowed him to fulfill his international dream and still had him for 90% of next season if they had been prepared to change his registration and make him their overseas player rather than a 'Kolpak' player.
Kent County Cricket Club is well aware that Ryan McLaren, for all his honour, respect and commitment, will barely bowl or strike a single ball next season without thinking that he could, or should have been doing so with a Protea on his chest rather than the prancing horse of the county.
