no he qualifies via the free movement between Ireland and UK, which existed before the eu and will exist after. whether he should being the team though is another matter, as hes been crap for years. and whether he should have stayed playing for Ireland is also another question.nut flush gooner wrote:It's funny you say that, I often wonder how the Irish man Eoin Morgan qualifies to play for England. Did he used Passporting rights under the EU, well hes fooked now aint he. You need to watch 20/20 mate, I tried to get tickets for middlesex vs essex that would normally have one man and his dog watching a 3 day game. It's pretty much sold out.DB10GOONER wrote:Where is SteveO?augie wrote:shu wrote:Good so he is a American then , well not surprising that the world hates them is it , Listen fool stick to your shit games like World Baseball and shooting innocent people.

You say shit games and I automatically think cricket - there is no more boring/monotonous sport than that bullshit![]()
Anyway just to echo what DB10 and others said, I have no probs with yanks at all (although I abhor their right to bear arms bullshit argument) and I would suggest that every nation has it's fair share of w*nkers

He has done a bit of an ItchyBaba since the Iceland debacle...
if Scotland leave UK and join EU then it could be interesting as no free movement agreement, yet. however Scottish cricket would benefit due to being able to utilise tenuous connections, ie Scottish heritage and grandparents, (like Ireland do, i.e. tim murtagh). the scots don't do this currently the only 'non scots' they have are via marriage or residency.
what it will hopefully do is stop fairly average eu passport holders playing, like roelly van de merwe who is blocking a young Somerset English spinner whenever he plays. (appreciate there are a few v good eu passport holders, all I can think of is rtd at Essex though)
also its 4 day cricket, not 3 (it used to be 3 years ago) and its usually a healthier crowd of about a couple of thousand for Essex and Middlesex 4 day home games rather than 1 man and his dog.
