Did someone lock Warne in a tanning booth overnight or something? That pick is ridiculous.

You'd think he'd just crapped on Nellie Melba's grave whilst humming Deutschland Uber Alles by the way some of the Oz rentagobs have reacted. The fact he'll still be Australian, albeit one with dual nationality seems to be lost on them.

Good for him, if I was in that position I would. Maybe they should allow 2 overseas players a season, and all the other players have to have lived in the UK fo say...2 years or something like that.

Looks like he's slowly morphing into David Hasselhoff, I guess he really is wanting to get a German passport.
What the hell is that?

Germany only allows dual nationality in exceptional circumstances though, this trivial cricket matter probably wouldn't cut it.

Looking at the criteria (Linky) it seems like he's struggling, actually.
Children born to a married couple
Children born between 1 January 1914 and 31 December 1963 are German if the father was a German citizen. Children born between 1 January 1964 and 31 December 1974 are German if the father was a German citizen or, if the child should be stateless otherwise, if the mother was a German citizen. A child born to a German mother and foreign father between 1 April 1953 and 31 December 1974 became German only if the mother requested German citizenship for the child before 31 December 1977. Children born after 1 January 1975 are German if either parent was a citizen at the time of the child’s birth.

You'd have to be prepared to explain 'dual nationality' if you went around making bold statements like that!

On his passport they'll simply just add 'un' in front of 'Australia' and then finish it off with a flashy 'n'. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in a detention centre when he comes home.
