Made England Name an all time England team made up entirely of players from South Africa?
The Master of Ballantrae - you are the master! What a fantastic answer.
Only 10 England cricketer's have been born in South Africa:
Andrew Strauss Chris Smith Robin Smith Allan Lamb Kevin Pietersen Jonathan Trott Basil D'Oliveira Ian Greig Tony Grieg Matt Prior
61 of England's Test cricketers were born overseas, from 15 different countries.
The others are:
AUSTRALIA: Billy Murdoch, John Ferris, Sammy Woods, Albert Trott, ‘Gubby’ Allen, Adam Hollioake, Ben Hollioake, Jason Gallian, Tim Ambrose.

Incredibly, seven overseas-born cricketers from five countries represented England in the first Test against New Zealand at Christchurch in January 1992. They were Hick (born in Zimbabwe), Lamb and Robin Smith (South Africa), Pringle (Kenya), Lewis and DeFreitas (West Indies) and debutant Reeve (Hong Kong). Only four were “home grown” Englishmen — skipper Graham Gooch, Alec Stewart, R.C. (Jack) Russell and Phil Tufnell.
England triumphed by an innings, and retaining the same team for the next Test in Auckland, won by 168 runs. Is there a message here somewhere?
