Born in England but raised in Australia. Was offered the chance to play for England A but turned it down to try his luck and make the Australian team. A handy dual-pace bowler and dynamic fieldsman, Symonds is better known as a massive hitter of the ball after hitting a world record 20 sixes, including 16 in one innings, while playing for Gloucestershire in 1995. Yet to play a test but now a regular member of the one-day squad.
 
yep he is a pom.

2 of the players from the Zimbabwe team are moving are from Zimbabwe as they would most likely be killed if they went back as they spoke out against that dictator there.

Andy Flower will be playing for South Australia for the next 3 summers and another bloke will be going to England.

I have the utmost respect for Olonga and Flower for having the balls to stand up to the government like they did!

I completely agree
 
bah yes sorry my head was all filled with robert mugabe hate that i got the names mixed up
*shames himself after just finished reading ian smiths book*
 
The plot thickens!

Robert Mugabe is evil. Some of my relatives farm there, and they've had to move into the city, and just go to the farm during the day, for safety reason.
 
Getting back to the subject, this sort of thing isn't uncommon in international cricket. Tony Greig was England's captain in the 70s, and he was from South Africa. Kepler Wessels played for Australia and captained NSW, then when Apartheid ended, he went back home to South Africa and played for them!

Yeah. I reckon when we've finished in Iraq, we should invade Zimbabwe. What's good for one evil dictator is good for another. Isn't it? Zimbabwe doesn't have any oil though, does it?
 
Well to be honest, just tell the fuckin hippies that Mugabe is hurting the elephants and the outcry would be huge, They don't really care about massacres and silly little things like genocide however.
