Be interesting to pick the best XI English born players of past 30 years.

Did you really just say far out?
Anyway, as Australia gets older and develops as a country you will see the same thing.
Thes Aussies have already had quite a few foreigners play for them........10 of them English

BRILLIANT POINT!
If you look at that list, it's funny to see. They're trying to count Welsh people when it's the England and Wales Cricket Board.
There's a few in there that aren't English and shouldn't have played but mainly that's apartheid linked or non test playing nations.
Counting geraint jones as being papua new guinean
Ben Hollioake on the list, RIP, one of my favourite cricketers. More English than my own son.

As if the POMS needed players from Ireland, Germany, Hong Kong, Scotland, Kenya, Zambia and PNG!
Just shows how desperate they were, and currently are to field a strong team without training up their own!
that's it, Im goin to play for England!

What would have been more appropriate language for you old bean?
Perhaps 'Cor Blimey' or even "You wouldn't Adams and Eve it"?
What's more unbelievable is that the list only goes back to 1983!

you don't qualify.
Perhaps you could now provide this list I have asked you for many times. The list is a joke, it calls someone PNG when they're parents were basically there on holiday when he was born, it calls someone german whose parents were living on British soil but transported to Germany for the closest hospital to them.
I'm all for decent wind ups but you need some facts behind it, which is why I asked you the question many times now but you failed miserably.

The list you have provided shows only the country they were born in, nothing to do with their nationality.

Looks like it might be time for more Englishmen and/or sub-continent ex-pats to form their team moving forward. Using ex-pat Saffers hardly worth looking at any more now they themselves are looking like a mere shell of what they were.

One player in our side who wasn't English at birth, one bloke in the Aussie side not Australian at birth. Next.
Seem to be able to win series easily enough with the side we have anyway. Easy wins against Australia, South Africa,

Probably tagged for scientific research and noted as a fish breed that was not particularly liked but the fish didn't seem to care.

Already bitten on the fish-hook. Thinking of throwing it back in as I have outdone my bag limit (not that Colossus would care) as I can see some "Hammerheads" in the distance. Apparently these breeds don't get on all that well, so could be interesting to watch how they might share similar waters.

Pretty sure the hanmerheads would run from the lion fish.
