Nope. He is a white mercenary SA who should never have played for
England. RH

And you are most definitely wrong! He played well, he is a good batsman -
but that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not his nationality
qualifies him to play for England.

But isn't your argument against white mercenaries that they will be
insufficiently motivated and therefore won't perform well, especially
when the chips are down? Don't today's events rather blow that theory
out of the water?

As you've probably noticed, whenever a "white mercenary"* does badly for
England, he uses it as evidence for his (stupid) theory; whenever one does
well**, he claims that performances are irrelevant, and that such players
simply should not be picked because of who they are.
If he stuck to this latter view (of white mercenaries - it would, of course,
still be obnoxious if espoused re, say, Hussain or Mahmood), he'd be
deserving of some respect. As it is, there's no point in arguing with him.

*Or indeed a Welshman, or a British member of an ethnic minority.
**This has to be pretty remarkably and consistently well, or he'll just
dismiss it as lucky, or a freak performance amid many poor ones.

Incidentally, I read somewhere the other day that Craig White* (who was of
course born in England) always regarded himself as English and supported
England while growing up in Australia, and was much teased as a result.
Which shows how ridiculous RH's belief that these things are somehow cut-
and-dried, and that Cowdrey, Dexter, Strauss etc. are clearly English while
White clearly isn't.

*I'm pretty sure it was White - certainly someone that RH would regard as
beyond the pale.

Leaving aside the obvious - that anyone who has to resort to that
meaningless term 'racist' clearly doesn't have much of an argument - tell me
why it is 'racist' to hold the view that someone born and brought up in
another country, whose father isn't English and who regards playing for
England as a second choice, shouldn't really play for England?
