LITHUANIA ARRIVE FOR CONTROVERSIAL KIRIBATI SERIES, QUICKS "UNLIKELY TO PLAY"

The Lithuanian side arrived last night at Bonriki International Airport in Kiribati after a marathon trip which started in Palanga 48 hours ago in advance of the [insert whatever name @The Author gives to this tournament], a four-team One Day tournament involving Kiribati, Norway, Zimbabwe and Lithuania. The tour begins amongst much criticism of it going ahead: with some commentators arguing that the tour adds "meaningless" matches to an already crowded international schedule.

Controversy about the tour continues, with many pundits arguing that . Respublika's cricket correspondent Edgaras Buksaitis gave his typically lurid view on the subject, describing Kiribati as "a few insignificant sandy rocks in the middle of nowhere" and stating that Lithuania had "no need to play against a bunch of amateurs", despite the fact that Lithuania has recently lost an ODI series there 2-0. Those comments were widely criticised by other commentators and some fear that they may. Elinga Ceicienė, espncricinfo writer also critical of the tour, described those comments as "racist rubbish not representative of the average Lithuanian Cricket fan" and wrote that she felt that sort of language would "harm Cricket Lithuania's relationship with other national boards, the vast majority of whom we have an incredibly close working relationship with, including the KCKA". The tour also provides an opportunity to the Lithuanian team, who haven't performed particularly well in One Day Internationals in recent times.

Lithuanian captain Mindaugas Vytautas dismissed criticisms of the tour, saying that he and others were fully prepared. "Sure it would have been better to have a gap between the home Kiribati series and this competition, but more time is something that a team in our position would want. No game is 'useless' as some have suggested, and we go into every game with the same hope: of winning for our country." Vytautas also indirectly commented on the comments made by Buksaitis, rejecting his depiction of what he described as "an interesting place that's very different to anywhere I've been before: I feel that there are things that we can learn, some of which are lot related to Cricket".

Vytautas did not give any information about team selection but a Viasat source within the Lithuanian camp said that Lithuania's pair of fast bowlers were likely to be on the outside, looking in. "Ramunas and Kajus are unlikely to play in the first game, the pitches here are not the sort that would encourage quick bowling. They may well get a game at some point, but I doubt whether we'd see either make a significant impact in the series". The side is likely to contain only the one spinner, with Medium Fast and Medium pace bowlers filling out the remaining spots within the bowling attack and Vytautas providing the requisite ten overs of spin. This is despite the perceived bias of Kiribati pitches to spin, although this perception has not been seen in the stats of the few games played in the country.

EXCLUSIVE TRANSFER NEWS: GUDONIS TO PLAY ENGLISH COUNTY CRICKET?

Lithuanian star Arturas Gudonis is "considering" a move to the English County Championship next year, Viasat can report. It is believed that several English counties including Sussex are hoping to sign the Neringa man as their main overseas player for all of England's major competitions, although he could be eligible to play as a "domestic" player due to European legislation.

Such a move would put the current consensus over "Bosman" players at risk. The current agreement is that those players are no longer selected for their national sides , but many feel that Lithuania would be reluctant to lose a player of the calibre of Gudonis. If that occurred it may well lead to a transformation of domestic cricket with the best players flocking to those countries able to play the highest wages, which many people believe would greatly harm Cricket in countries such as Lithuania.

We contacted Gudonis, Neringa Cricket Club and Sussex County Cricket Club, none of which returned our calls.
