Surely you know that if a bloke talks like a full on saffer, he's most likely been brought up and lived a Saffer lifestyle in his prime "budding" years as a cricketer - case in point KP, Tony Greig etc. That may also suggest why Andrew Symonds saw himself as an Aussie - he was simply brought up as one.
Deflection no 2 - what's rugby got to do with cricket? I dont recall anyone saying your rugby team is full of saffers.
No deflections - you used accents as your example and i have shown why it's a silly argument. Where someone is raised is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the blood that's in their veins. Where should I play considering people differ on their opinions on my accent. Have you heard Tim Cahill speak recently?
The rugby is the link to sport and generally in life how your country claims everybody. Name a sport and they probably try to claim someone in there. Even the afl tried to claim that irish bloke who died recently. Have a pint of fosters and they'll call you aussie. Aussie Kim Clysters, Aussie Joe Bugner
Only cricket well Khawaja and symonds in recent times. No blood links to australia, not born in australia. They're not australian. KP has a blood line.
