that's not 150.

 

[ataraxia]

But don't forget Stokes & O'Dowd!

 

[Adorable Asshole]

that's not 150.

Yeah It's 148

 

[Dendarii]

Yeah It's 148

The two missing countries are Tonga (Scott Edwards) and Hong Kong (Mark Chapman).

If you replace Topley with Carse you get another S African.

I feel I should know this but who are the players born in England outside of the England squad?

 

[Flem274*]

Yeah true we have more than Conway because we supplied Netherlands with van Beek and O'Dowd.

Edit - Sodhi and Chapman.

I think it's just Inglis who replaces Stokes as the only member of the England squad born outside the UK (which slightly surprised me when I checked Malan).

Ah yeah I was thinking Sam Curran too, but it’s Tom who was born overseas isn’t it.

This is a tough one. Is it a good thing if a lot of players in the WC were born in one's country or does it just show that a lot of people want to move away from there and live somewhere else

If you take the Netherlands out, it evens up the numbers a lot, 5 from SA in their squad.

The interesting one is NZ, just 11 of their squad born in NZ with 3 from others (O'Dowd, Van Beek and Stokes) born there.

Unusual not to have any S African born players in an England squad.

 

[GIMH]

We have one now tbf

 

[Prince EWS]

We have one now tbf

You know the line.

 

[GIMH]

You know the line.

It’s two lines

Saffa born players in the squad were sparse
So off England went and drafted in Carse!

 

[Molehill]

You know the line.

Of the 150 originally selected, it was correct. I pointed out Carse yesterday.
