This whole idea of a person of one nationality playing for another really irks me. But enlighten me, surely he is of dual nationality if he's elidgeble to play for England? In that case he is English as well as South African.
What I wanted to say that it's normal that he doesn't feel as an English man as he moved to England at 19. I think it's pretty understandable, although you're right that he shouldn't be saying these things.
If England were to win this series by 2 (which I think they won't) they'll be top of the world rankings.It certainly seems that way given the general talk. I'll admit I've not seen that much of this team. And it's the best period for Indian cricket ever.
So much better than Australia winning EVERYTHING.
They all have British nationality and are not allowed dual nationality. So what's the problem?
It's just a bit odd that a guy who lived his first 19 years in SA is English. That's odd IMO. But that's another debate.
I think what's being mention is a quote from Ed Cowans book and I presume that its been taken out of context. The quote itself seemed very much like a joke to me.
Have all the Indian players who have played for India been born in India? Anyway, if they want to play under the ECC and are legally qualified British or Irish nationality I don't see why they shouldn't play for the ECC.
As I said this is a debate for another thread but yeah I do believe that you should play for the country you're born and brought up in.
If KP is prepared to put on an England shirt and score centuries against his country of birth - that his choice, and as far as i, and most people in England are concerned he is a well liked English cricketer.
Anything 300+.
Same here. It's very annoying.
Is that a bit of reversed mockers?
Most likely as the light will go very quickly.
He's a wonderful bowler.
I would like to see your team without Anderson and Cook.
Thought you were the best 'team' in the world.
