Vermuelen asks board to reconsider contract decision
Quote:
Mark Vermeulen, the Zimbabwe batsman, has asked Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) to reconsider its decision not to offer him a national contract.

"I personally went to Ozias Bvute [the ZC managing director]. He [Bvute] told me that it was not up to him, but that he would take the necessary measures," Vermeulen said. "I still want to play. I was given no reason why I was not given a contract. I think I have done my best for Zimbabwe to make at least the performance-based list. I have the highest average in first-class cricket [40.04] and have more than 4000 first-class runs."
Hmm..of course Bvute will take necessary measures..He'll offer him more double match fees not to play!

Vermuelen deserves a national contract; no two ways about it.
