[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 837504, member: 73144"] I'd like all English players to be Wavell-Wakefields or Starmer-Smiths* and to have lived their whole lives within 25 miles of Charing Cross. But that's not the world we live in. I don't like the current rules, but in a professional game you really can't blame players for making the system work for them. As long as they give their all for the cause, that's fine. As for the captaincy you choose the best captain from the pool of eligible players. Yes of course I'd prefer they were born and bred in this green and pleasant land, but it's far more important that they have the right leadership qualities. * I don't really! [/QUOTE]
