P_R light-a racial tone eruku on clubbing mercenaries on colour I say open the floodgates..enn entha preferential treatment on getting to choose..OZ had a ATG test team for the likes of Goodwin to get in may be if Eng had the same home grown talent on batting front then ECB would have least cared/bothered for SA/Ire/Zim players in realizing their test dreams or promoting Ire. ECB are just using these countries as a feeder system to paper over their teams cracks enbatha thaen query also with Morgon misfiring in tests would ECB allow/release him to play for his country in limited overs in lieu of promoting Ire cricket

P_R light-a racial tone eruku on clubbing mercenaries on colour

? White people from the colonies have always flitted back and forth. It is a long tradition- is all I am saying. Which is why I don't find it odd. I am not saying England should allow only white player. ippo Philanderukku oru thambi irukkAn. avanukku SA-la saans kidaikkalainnA, pOtri paadhukaaththu aravaNaikka koodaadhunnu naan solluvEnA

It is in that context that I wanted to understand if there are any Afrikaaners playing for Holland.

Of course, who is denying this? Dorset-la nalla aattakkAran irundhA edhukku Durban-kaaranukku plane ticket edukka pOrAinga.

And now with immigration it is all the more the case. But people going from all over to England, does not strike me as odd. If Sanga had decided to settle in Eng after studies and play there (mind you he'd've played school cricket in SL, which is pretty big), I wouldn't've found that as odd either. i.e. even though SL is a test playing nation.

Cricket is merely reflecting what is happening is every field in such countries.

If India were to do it in the name of what you guys call 'level playing field' then it would seem very unnatural to me.

P_R appo Md.Amir/Asif/Owais Shah playing for India would be natural immigration I suppose and you have no qualms if Sanga plays for Eng however have issues with Goodwin playing for Pak does ECB spend monies on these mercenaries from their grass root level so they get to have the first pick over other countries..these mercenaries honed/learnt their trade thanks to their parent board...ethay cape maari thanatha India panna unnatural-a?..doesn't sound natural to me P.S appadiya appo Eng'landu yaar aadina unnatural-a erukkumunu solunga

Feeyar - you are getting ridiculous and ridiculous. Who are you to define "natural immigration"? WTH is traditio? If India imports white fast bowlers for another 20 years, it will become a tradition by 2037. You are exposing yourself more and more as a closet Englishman by mentality. There is no difference between the unnatural immigration that horrors you even in thought and the kepmaarithanam(hattip wizzy) going on in England now. You are just like a blind Manchester United/Arsenal supporter inventing excuses for your club's behaviour( that should hurt, shouldn't it? )

oru indhiya kudimagan. What seems natural to me solREn. What is there?

If India imports white fast bowlers for another 20 years, it will become a tradition by 2037.

adhai neenga solradhukku munnAdiyE sollittEnE. You 'seek to build a new world'-nu. enakku pudikkAlai. If kind of developments (?!) is what it will lead to, then England will have to sadly put an end to the hallowed tradition of having players from everywhere come and play for England (just like people from everywhere take up jobs and settle down there now).

oru vELai indhiyA vallarasu aanappuRam, I may feel such things are natural. Certainly not now.
ippo nEpAlkaara gurkhA maadhiri naturalA irundhA right 'ngrEn. That's the limit I can conceive/.

But domestic airlines foreign pilot vachchukkuradhu illaiyA adhu maadhiri cricket paNNuvOm 'ngreenga. I understand, but I don't agree.

There is a whole world of a difference as I believe I have explained above.

What the devil that has got to do with the discussion here?

America has an unfair economic advantage in that the cream from everywhere migrate there.
Harry Potter also same problem.

Of course you wouldn't.

Does Holland have any Dutch SAfricans playing. I wouldn't be surprised and it wouldn't irk me either. Natural.

P_R unga natural immigration logic padi nallaikae if Mallya/Kumble do a ECB by getting Gayle a job in B'lore/marry him to Tulu gal so he could play for Karnataka in Ranjis and as a domestic Indian player for RCB...would that be fair on other domestic/IPL teams?..Gayle like Morgan can also realize his test dreams by playing for India

P_R appo Md.Amir/Asif/Owais Shah playing for India would be natural immigration I suppose

Owais Englishkaaran dhaanE (like Shahzad, Sajid Mehmood, Monty - illaiyA?)
Let me clarify it would be odd to 'steal' an international player. But to get someone in contention to sign-up not a problem.

This guy Anwar Ali, doesn't seem to be playing for Pakistan. Wouldn't you love it if he could play for India?
It wouldn't strike me as odd.

you have no qualms if Sanga plays for Eng however have issues with Goodwin playing for Pak

Not now yA. I meant, if Sanga had chosen to make his debut for England instead of SL, I wouldn't've found it odd.

does ECB spend monies on these mercenaries from their grass root level so they get to have the first pick over other countries..

these mercenaries honed/learnt their trade thanks to their parent board..

These are all the good old brain-drain arguments.
I do see that, just like people chose to go to America and England, now cricketers may choose to come to India.

But you guys are not truly proposing that, are you? You are saying 'nobody should go and play for England'. That's your ideal preference.
If that is not happening then you want them to come and play for India too. Did I understand correctly?

I disagree. Cricket 'ngradhE oru paarambariyam dhaanungagaLE.

btw as I write this I realized the much talked about 'Sonia is a foreigner' issue is a complete non-matter to me. I even find it quite contemptible that such a thing was made an issue at all. enakkE indha contradictionukku badhil theriyalai.
