Sachinism Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 KP came here because he no longer felt SA values were his and that he was more in tune with his parents views which were English But you refuse to acknowledge that. Lets agree to differ. I look forward to 2012 Are you stupid? Fontaine, along with myself have shown you many times KP doesn't call himself English and yet you come out with this nonsense. If he doesn't consider himself English, he's pretty much saying he's a Saffer

Fontaine' date=' along with myself have shown you many times KP doesn't call himself English and yet you come out with this nonsense.

He has married an English wife, has an English kid, I think we can see where his allegiance lies
ganeshran Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Wobbly you are assuming way too many things. What you are saying cannot be verified.

He has married an English wife, has an English kid, I think we can see where his allegiance lies What does that have to do with anything? By that logic Imran Khan's allegiance lay with England when he studied there, played county cricket there, and got married to Jemima Khan, had kids there, etc. Then all of a sudden he changed allegiances again when they divorced, he moved back to Pakistan and decided to run for political office. That's not just naive and foolish but Pakistani logic. :--D Speaking of Peterson, I guess he must have changed his allegiance back to South Africa when he moved there recently to play for Natal to regain form and work on his technique with coaches there. Then he quickly changed his allegiance back to England when he rejoined the Ashes tour. Yeah, KP disagree'd with SA cricket so much that he went back there to play cricket recently. lol See how stupid it is to base your identity/ethnicity/culture etc on where you choose to work?

Fontaine Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Here's Kevin Peterson playing in the England tour to South Africa. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/78785.html Except he's playing against England. So much for allegiances.
daryl1985 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Boyd Rankin has just taken 2 wickets for the England Lions :hysterical:
Fontaine Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Craig Keiswetter: Only days after qualifying for England; represented South Africa at Under-19 level; represented South Africa in the 2006 Under-19 World Cup. So much for allegiances.
Fontaine Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Eoin Morgan: Born and bred in Dublin, Ireland. Represented Ireland at the 2004 and 2006 Under-19 World Cups (in 2006 he also captained the side); represented Ireland at the 2007 Cricket World Cup. So much for allegiances.

So much for allegiances. He decided he had had enough and came to England. I notice you dont post him sticking it to SA in the tests
Fontaine Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Playing for the national side in test match cricket isn't just about competing at the highest level. It's about being honored to play for your country and representing it. In Morgan's case, his last appearance for Ireland: April 6 2009 Six weeks later, he completely changes his mind, allegiance and all of a sudden becomes "English" in six freakin' weeks? First appearance for England on May 24 2009. Gimme a break. I don't question any player's right to play anywhere if they follow the rules/regulations. But all this nonsense about Morgan/Trott/Peterson choosing to be English is about as naive as it gets.

I mean changing their allegiance so suddenly and for what reasons ? Because they can get more money by England ? Hehe ! And if this is the case Mr Wobbly, u ppl got reasons to be scared. Who knows in the next 6 weeks they might think of changing their allegiance to SA , Aus or who knows, even India...HEheheheeheh! :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
