Its pathetic how we give the convicts as many tickets as they like while they try to limit ours. We should just refuse to play and keep the Ashes forever.

I reckon there were only about 300 hundred of them on the 2 days I was at Edgbaston last year.
I predict Yorkshire will field the most English born players amongst all the counties but their leading run scorer by a mile will be a South African and it won't be enough to prevent them being relegated.Adil Rashid will have a loss of form ater being treated shabbily by England in the winter.

Rashid has to be worth a punt especially with the world 20/20 around the corner.Edit the first team have lost by 5 wickets to the Lions. Oh dear
I definitely rate Rashid. Big future for him if he gets the right advice and coaching.A leggy who can bat and field? Yes please.Kieswetter is making a big case for the gloves. I can see him being ODI keeper very soon and pushing Prior hard for the test position too.I'd certainly play him and Rashid in the 20/20 matches.TrottKieswetterPietersenCollingwoodMorganWrightRashidBresnanSwannBroadWoakes

Why should England fans who passionately want to watch their team be penalised because the Ossies can't be arsed? It's just an extension of the disgraceful White Australia Policy. A bunch of bigots who hate foreigners should not be tolerated.
25% of our side has always been South African so there is no change there!!
