[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 126479"] It shouldn't be a feeder nation because it was originally formed as "England & Wales." At one point even Scottish players were allowed to play. For example, everyone thinks it was a sneaky, mustachioed English swine with a monocle and a penchant for tying virgins to railway tracks who decided on the "bodyline" tactic against Australia when they visited in 1933. Actually, it was a Scottish captain of the team (one Douglas Jardine) who wished to override his wimpy English masters and go directly for the jugular. So thanks to Scottish meddling, England & Wales have lost lots of Ashes contests since! Still though, it is sad that the team is just called "England" now, especially as the ruling body is still the England & Wales Cricket Board. Not right I tells ye, not right at all... [/QUOTE]
