Mouritz Botha : why can't I be content that he's playing for England?
by Portnoy Fri Mar 09, 2012 12:04 pm
First topic message reminder :
He's been in England for six years according to his Wiki account http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouritz_Botha.
But I can't accept that he has any right to be donning the white jersey. I should but I can't.
So far has I can see Botha has no connection with England.
And it's not as though he had to do a Kevin Pietersen in cricket to get a chance to play.
His Sarries club-mate Bradley Barritt at least has full parental qualifications - but Mourtiz is so far as I can see is an opportunist. Plain and simple.

It wasn't a ship, it was a sloop.

I hate to poo in the Salad of Complexity, but isn't the fact that playing internationally for one team disqualifies you from ever playing from any other a reasonable indication of your commitment to that country?
