tbh - I wouldn't have picked up the Saffer part unless I was listening for it.

That interviewer is a bit of a suck-up isn't he?

Yes, thats the New Zealand born Australian writer and the very same Peter Roebuck who now calls Australia 'we'.

If Roebuck was any more bitter he'd be pumped out of kegs labelled Tetley's.

Is it a coincidence that since he emigrated to Australia their team has become utter gash?

And don't get him started on all those young South African boys coming over to England, and breaking house rules and choosing the 3 lions.

Aye and aye! A lot less saffer than I was expecting.

Regarding Roebuck, he's an incredibly bitter man who has written some pretty nasty or should I say 'nazi' pieces on cricinfo about genetics & parenthood. He's absolutely infatuated with them.

But my fear is he gets some cheap wickets against a demoralised Sri Lankan side and books his place for the summer at least...

1. He's called Jade, a silly enough name for a man even before the late Ms Goody rose to fame, since her I wouldn't even want a Jade in the England Women's team...

2. Don't mind a Yarpie or two (or three or four), or other non-English born player for that matter, if they are committed and potentially improve the team or bring something different. But when we're doing it for the sake of it and there's equally talented English born players I'd rather they had a chance first. Remember the Aussie Roofer and the Not-So-Great Dane... And Yarpoms are traditionally batsmen and keepers, when they take over the bowling as well it's a slippery slope to the first all-SA-born England side!

3. And on that subject by all accounts he's nothing special as a bowler. Maybe we have to get this one over with and allow him to be this year's Pattinson or Noey Khan't. But my fear is he gets some cheap wickets against a demoralised Sri Lankan side and books his place for the summer at least...

So, it's more than fair enough that he should be picked (if selected) for England, as there's no-one else he can play for and it'd be more than a tad harsh for him to be cast out into the international wilderness due to his parents' choice of living arrangements in his early years and a couple of predictable journalists taking a few cheap shots that sell well in middle England.
