It didnt the last time we had one :icon_wink

On past occasions, it didn't provide an answer.

Glad to see you agree with me :icon_bigg

I found out something about KP today.

He disagreed with the selection process with SA. So he came over to play in England for a couple of clubs till he maintained his working VISA also his mom was born here.

I admire how he stood up against the SA's and came here. But I personally feel this rule should be changed. There are far too many foreginers picking willy nilly to play for better sides, or shall I say more desperate sides that pick these players. Its unfair and doesn't give a true reflection of nationalities or the country.

Something has to be done, it's not just the English other countries have foriegn players, it goes against the whole point of having a national side.

I do admit: KP is an exception, he disagreed with the selection process and I admire how he stuck two fingers up and attempted to play his cricket in England. I disagree with him able to play for England.

What does your nationality count for if you just pick and choose the country you want to play for

It was ignorant, it was meant to be, I thought that was the level you had set the conversation at by calling KP a foreigner.

Is he English?! No he isn't.

The word, "foreigner," means- "A person from a foreign country." I class a South African in England, "foreign," I'm so sorry for being ignorant. :icon_roll

He has an English Mother, he plays for England, and he views himself as officially English.

We could argue all day about being born to mixed race parents, I'm no expert, but I certainly wouldn't call KP a foreigner.

I would. People excuse foreigner to be an insulting word; but when used in the right context; like when I used it, its used in the correct manner IMO.

Sorry. It's just I see one of Jessel's posts and I feel the need to be reactionary.

You used it as a derogoratory term, so quit the bullshit.

It read to me that he was using it to insinuate that the English would only be any good at cricket with a foreigner leading.

But I despise cricket so I'll leave now!
