Alex Keath has decided that he'd rather take a contract with Cricket Victoria than go play for the GC.

They've already named him as one of their free 17 year old's so does that mean they wind up with one less?

Well good on him for turning his back on them, but not sure how he could turn his back on footy for cricket.

They will be short a gun KPP now.

Brilliant decision Alex.

I wonder if in 5 years' time he changes his mind what the result

could be..?

Personally I'm not applauding the fact that a potentially very good player is now lost to the game, and most likely permanently. I think it's a shame.

It is, but I prefer to see the positive in it.

He would've strengthened our opposition.

I'm looking forward to AK helping us hold on to the Ashes on Ricky's last trip abroad!

Poor career move... unless he decides he's not just choosing cricket, but also choosing to move to NSW to accept his baggy green in a brown paper bag along with his baggy light blue on debut. Everyone knows a Victorian has no hope making it into the Australian team!!!!

IPL is a good possibility. 3 years of that stuff & you can be set for life!
