It is much more important to ban Indian cricketers from Britain.

In fact, we should ban them from India - especially if their first name is "Virat".
In reply to Simon4:

Ah yes, but what if their name was Zhang Wei?

You have pulled the pin. Best to walk away now and leave Rom and the postie to it.

It was once rumoured, with I know not what level of truth, that the Chinese communist party decided that it was going, in the course of 5-10 years, to become a major test playing nation. Not, obviously, in the way that India became a major (arguably THE major), cricketing nation, as a result of a ground-up swelling of enthusiasm from street level, finally becoming a super sport to the extent that Indians now refer to cricket as "an Indian game accidentally invented by the English", but as a top-down, apparatchik-driven decision that Cricket was a major international sport, China was an up and coming power, rising powers have a presence in international sports, so China must have a presence in test cricket.

It may have been entirely imaginary, but it is a delightful story about an authoritarian system seeing all the details and completely missing the point.

I wonder how Greek/Cypriot cricketers compare with Indian or Chinese players?
Or not, all things being equal like.
In reply to Hugh J:

I think I missed that- would rom and pat be able to bring me up to speed on the discussion. ...?

Was the corner shop shut?
I'd be having four or five fags after a sesh like that.

Are you referring to Alan and Ollie or someone else?

It's not over until the fat cod sings Wagner.

Well certainly not a sport that we can play at the moment.
