Nah... that would be a massive overreaction.... only English sportspersons receive such honours because they rarely win anything of note :p

Who cares? It's a Mickey Mouse award handed out by a spoilt, useless old woman.

I was thinking that Waugh would be more of a certainty because of the stirling work he's done for children in India. Spoting success + charity work would equal Sir Steve were he a Pom, as horrible a thought as that is to all Aussies I'm sure.
The way your selectors worked in the 90's, there would have been no way he would have been as successfull as he he took up to 26 Tests to get his first Test ton (mind you he was picked more of an all-rounder back then?) if he had been born in Burnley rather then Bankstown.
