Players Playing For Country They Are Born In?

I still don't understand what the hell you have against Lincolnshire and South Humberside.

If he's actually been there that would be more than enough.

Is the whole Yorkshire = France thing a common gag throughout England, or just Lancashire... or just CW?

It does make me laugh everytime I see it though. Want to be able to use it when I head over.

India and Paksitan would be the same. We don't get immigrants, instead we fill up other countries.

Out of interest, how many Indian or Pakistani born test players are currently playing for other countries?

None, I think. Several of Indian/Pakistani descent though.

Which isn't the question really.

If you look back far enough, most Australians are of English descent...

I realize that, and I already answered the question in the negative.

Well i have spread the love (or the hate rather) to most of "10K" and all of my football team...and my best mate's from Doncaster. Very Very good times.

For New Zealand, Scott Styris and Matthew Sinclair were both born in Australia. They wouldnt make the Aussie team ofcourse but it would lower NZ from 8th equal to a clear 9th place.

it is sad to see players "betraying" their home country but in way it is ok...if ur born in a non cricketing country and have the talent?...but we cat really make rules about this

 

[AussieDominance]

It's sad that people think it is "betraying their home country" by playing elsewhere.

People can play where and for who the **** they want.

Hmm, can't think why you'd be of that opinion. Wonder what nationality you might be.

And don't swear.

 

[Richard]

I'll swear if I ****ing feel like it.

Yes, people of our nationality do tend to be a bit more receptive to the reality that people should not be barred from something purely due to where they happened to be born.

 

[I Lust Cricket]

****ing BAN!

 

[Richard]

Nah, there's no rules about not swearing, just avoiding the filter.
