Hmmmmmmmmmm. Sense as you see it, or sense as they see it?

I can't see it happening to be honest. The ZCU and the rebels really do seem to have irreconcilable diffferences, with neither party willing to compromise. Heath Streak and the rebels refuse to play on the basis that the selection process is politically motivated and that there are people on the selection panel that are not qualified to be there or make selections based on merit. The ZCU merely quote 'breach of contract' at the rebel cricketers, and don't seem to be making any or very few concessions to bring the rebels back into the fold.

From what I can tell, both parties are no closer to reaching an agreement now than they were when it first started.
