Your a Qlder until proven guilty

Then you are southern pondscum afterwards

It would've been easier to just say none….

What I don't get is, why Morgan is playing for England and not Ireland ? Personally I'd much prefer the play for Eire-land than England. At least the Aussie crowd would be behind you. Now he's going to get really confused over here in Australia, he doesn't understand just hard we go against the poms..more so than any other team.
Now he's trying to sledge MJ..all the best with that!

People love to make big deals of these things, but its no different to the amount of League players who jump ship in international rugby league. Jarryd Hayne represented Fiji, Taumou is a kiwi. Hell half the Kiwi side are pacific islanders.

Could say the same for Ballance/Trott/Jordan/Stokes. The English have long used players who have grown up elsewhere.

Anyone who plays for Australia is a champ even Queensladers….wait what

Take your meds Geo , someone ring triple 0

There's no "hijacking" going on here…. talking about where cricketers are from is still talking about cricket.

Who? Fawad Ahmed is the only genuine import I can remember in the last 30 years?

Khawaja emigrated to Australia at the age of 2, Symonds also came here as an infant. Brendon Julian was from NZ but came up through the AIS system.

Kepler Wessels is the only bona fide fence jumper I can remember in the last 30 odd years until Ahmed.

Not talking just about cricket CB. Australian sport is liittered with with players and athletes we've pilfered. The Wallabies are a good example, there's been many over the yrs. I think we're one of the last countries that can point the finger at other nations when it comes to this topic

Oh OK, in that case you're right. I thought you were referring to cricket solely.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

All good mate. I should have been a bit more clear on reflection.

SL win the toss in Christchurch and elect to field.

Sanga v McCullum. Not a bad way to kick things off.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Kiwi's could be on track for 400 here.

 

[Geo]

Watson typical Queenslander…. :unamused:

 

[Sabre]

Can Watson please never get picked for Australia again

Lol @ Watson

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Smith gone now. Part of me just wonders if he might be due for a dip in form.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Twatto lives up to expectations.

By God does he suck :laughing:

Great inning from Finch - & yet I bet he gets dropped when Clarke comes back and the waste of a wicket watson keeps his place.

 

[Sabre]

There would be no way to justify Watson keeping his place when Clarke returns. He shouldn't even be there as it is.

Yeah well done Finchy….doubt they'll mess with the openers....Bail's Maxwell or Marsh is my tip.....
