Thoughts PB?

Well a way to ruin the excitement. :(

The tour match will have a huge say in things.

You lads will love the fact that Stokes is Kiwi-born.  :P

At least hes not from South Africa  :P

Is he allowed to play for England then? ???

Was thinking the same thing.

Where a player was born doesn't have much to do with it. If they have a passport for that country, then they can play for them, as long as they haven't represented another country internationally in something like the last 4 years.

There are plenty of players who were born in one country and have played for another. Some players have even played for two countries like Eoin Morgan and Luke Ronchi.

I'm 274% sure that Sparkles and Vinnamon were making a joke about the Poms having players from other countries in their team.

Durham did win the County championship this season, and Stokes did perform exceptionally well. However Ballance lead the County Championship for runs scored, so that should come first. :P

If England play Bairstow however I'll give up on England, because that is like tanking.

Hmmmm, nah I can't do that, not for Ballance. :( My room has 4 cricket posters in it, 3 Aussie ones, one Pom (genuine pom). I think I like the Aussies, just certain ones. Steve Smith <3

[KoopKicka]

Im pretty sure the rule is once you play for a higher ranked country you cant go back down to a lower country?

For example, if Tom Cooper was to get a call-up to the Aussie team, he could never play for the Dutch again.

[Nige]

*Wessels :P

I knew I'd do that.  ::)

God damn...
