People born in the 4 cricket playing nations of Asia make up 1.2% of the Australian population. And I can already think of 2 just of the top of my head who are involved in Australian state teams and have represented Australia at age group level.

Take your uninformed toxic bile elsewhere please.

I can think of 2 Asian/New Zealand players off the top of my head who have played test cricket in the last 20 years. They're a country of 4 million.

How many Asian players have played for Aus? Dav Whatmore? Even he had to have a western name.......

Scrapping the barrell.

Can you name me any players of Asian descent who were good enough to play for Australia in that time?

How about you take your petty vendetta against Australia and channell it into something constructive.

Are there many players from Indian or Pakistani origin playing in Australia?

The simple fact that the cultural difference in Australia and India is so huge, quite evident by the Sydney racial row this year, it seems that Australians and Asians don't even mix with each other there.

Richard Cranium.

Is he from Asia?

Usman khwajah plays for NSW what more do you want.
Quotas' for sub continental players.ahem.

by horace Fri 12 Sep 2008, 02:18

no quota will be necessary just allow a relaxation of the interpretation of the chucking rules and all those subi park bowlers who model themselves on MuMu will be in contention

Have you mixed him up with Krezja?

by Henry Fri 12 Sep 2008, 03:13

I heard that he'd accepted an offer from Tasmania. Must have done a U-Turn.
