haha come on, don't start the "who owns who" discussion. Australia is famous for claiming sports stars from everywhere. Half the socceroo's (not that its a signficant sport). Kostya, half of "our" champion race horses and famous actors lol...
Infact... The U.K owns Australia anyway, so it's really just fighting amongst ourselves

names mean nothing. i don't watch women's sports either
true, i should stop assuming, i just gathered seeing as you knew the ethnic backgrounds of the socceroo's that you must watch the most limp wristed sport on the planet soccer thats all. My bad.
Either way.....
God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen
God save the Queen
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save the Queen!!!
Fark prior, gas him! Burn him at the stake! hang him in the gallows!
What a low life! Like all those idiots that claim a catch at short leg or silly mid when the camera clearly shows it hit the ground!
Jeez you would think that this is all happening over a 140km/h and it was split second stuff! As if....

Seriously the whinging about "South African-born" English Players is pretty pathetic in my opinion. Hell, as someone mentiond, one of our most prized "Aussie" boxing champs, is Kostya Tszyu, the "Thunder from Down Under". Down under WHERE, exactly? Moscow, or Siberia??? I also done a quick search on ESPN of our tennis talent, and quickly came up with 10 foreign-born players playing under the Aussie flag, including Jarmila Groth, Jelena Dokic, and Bernard Tomic, 3 of our most successful players of recent months. Anyone want to throw them back where they belong?
Add to that our 2 best table-tennis players, Miao Miao and Jian Fang Lay (both typical Aussie names, however WERE they born overseas???), and I SHUDDER to think what our Winter Olympics team looks like... :shock:
As for the Prior"cheating claims, maybe he is, maybe he isn't. But Either Beefy's wrong for calling Hughes a cheat, or they're BOTH cheats. Add to that having Ponting and Haddin as 2 of our senior players, a saying involving "glass houses" and "stones" comes to mind... Having said that, I'm HAPPY to call Prior a cheat, but the sword cuts both ways...

Eoin Morgan played for Ireland in the 2007 ICC World Cup. LMAO.
And the Saffas get in because they want out of Africa, and like me, have an English passport, so don't need a Visa to work there. But that's the only reason I got the passport. Plus it was easier claiming my grandfather was English and getting a passport, then getting the working visa. Can't blame them if they want to play for England. Plenty of Saffas playing Rugby in Australia.
And Kepler Wessels anybody?
As for the Saffas playing for England, didn't that Victorian Darren Pattinson play for them. Now I don't care what you say, if you were born and bred in Australia, played for Victoria in Shield and then went and played for England in Test Cricket after you'd become an adult (hell, he was about 30), I reckon you need your head looking at. But that's just me. Weirder still, especially when your younger brother by 10 years will play for Australia.
And let's not forget Dirk Nannes. Played for Holland then got seconded back to Australia. LOL.

I'm not sure if you've mis-interpreted my post as saying Australian-born Asians are any less "Aussie" than, Australian-born caucasians, because that wasn't my intention. But I would say a majority of Australian/"Western"-born Asians, or even Asians who have settled in Australia/Western countries from an early age have an "Anglicised" name: Michelle Wie, David Ki (the young Korean fella who studied in Brisbane, but plays soccer for Korea back under his Korean Name Ki Seong-Yong, Michael Chang, Lucy Liu, John Woo, Jackie Chan, etc... I was talking more about the names as a whole, rather than just the sur-names. As someone has already pointed out, a lot of people who see the Australian soccer squad written up have trouble stifling a laugh, even though all but 1 of the current squad are Aussie born.
