    Indeed, I have absolutely no issue with Johhny Foreigner playing Cricket for England, I could play for England if I was young and good enough, that's one reason that I support England at Cricket.

    You'd probably have to own up to an English grandparent. Shouldn't be a problem, most sportsmen seem to be able to turn up at least one native ancestor of the required nationality.

    I don't support them. I don't not support them either. I certainly watch more of them than any other team.

    Nope, I don't need a direct family link at all, The Jocks, the Taffs and the even Paddies can play for England because the England Selectors do not believe in missing out on outstanding talent just because it's not English.

    True enough Eoin Morgan is a case in point and even went on to captain England in a ODI.

    Nope

    Trott, Prior, Joyce, Morgan, Strauss, Croft, Kieswetter, Dernbach ......

    That is off the top of my Heid in the last 10 years of non Englishmen.

    Englishman Kevin Peterson is out.

    It's simpler than that: you need to have a British passport.
