as soemone else onnthe thread said earlier, it comesd own to residency nad games played for your county etc. its not as clear cut as football (where you have to hold a claim to a Passport).
Its quite a tradition for the english to grab talent from other countries anyway.
Freddy mercury - Indian
George Michael - Greek
Cliff Richard - Somewhere in africa (anyone else see a pattern emerging?? lol)
Lennox Lewis - Canadia (although he was born here i guess)
Kevin Pietersen - South africa
Wayne Rooney - Actually qualifies for Northern Ireland (funny it seemed to show on weds)
a few years ago the England teams goalkeeper problems were almost solved by italian Carlo Cudicini, and the wonderful Owen Hargreaves has Quad nationality (England, wales,canada and germany)
In this day and ag its quite difficult to establish a pure link to anyones national heritage so therefore we are led down the path of multiple nationalities
With cricket Scotlan acyually do have a test side ( they played the Aussies not long ago in an ashes warm up) but as England are the Bigger sde they get selection rights apparently

scotland DO NOT have a test side they were set to play the aussies in a 1 day match during the ashes series it was to be shown live on the bbc but was rained off
there are only 12 test playing nations in the world players from countries out side those 12 who are of a good enough quailty can play TEST match cricket for a nation regionally based

scotland play in division 2 of the county championship this team isnt the scottish 1 day team as it selects players the same way as a county team does including overseas players |

This could be a nailbiter
the Scots will be along soon, prepare yourselves
Rain dance about to re-commence
aaarrrggggghhhhhhhh
Ian Bell's actually a very proficient batsman, but it's tough to have that teak hard temperament against Warne and McGrath unless you are brilliant with his inexperience

Well I'm glad Collingwood is playing or the Aussies would now be favourites. Aussies are still almost 5/2 to win this match on Betfair which seems a bit big to me. Fingernails ? I'm almost down to the knuckles !!  |
