    England, Wales and SOUTH AFRICA. Cook needs an Afrikaan dictionary to talk to half his team.
    Bit like the Lions, I counted 10 welshmen in the 3rd Test team, and struggled to find any Englishmen.
    When are England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales going to take on a combined Australian, South African, New Zealand and Argentine squad?????? Only seems fair.

    CP--I think you must be referring to Trott ,Pietersen and Prior all of whom were born in South Africa.In the case of Trott to British parents. Pieterson's mother was British,and Priors dad British! All returned to the UK when they were young children, so Cook really doesnt struggle communicating, except possibly with the 3 Yorkshiremen in his team!

    I was just winding up Cym BM2, there's not a team in any sport that doesn't have foreign born players. Half the Aussie Rugby team have parents from one of the Pacific Islands, Tonga, Samoa etc.
