G Jones has Welsh parents and was born in Papua New Guinea so he is properly qualified player for me.We have had Welsh players at regular times over the years Tony Lewis,Robert Croft and Simon Jones dad spring to mind.Also there has been a couple of Jocks too in Mike Denness,Dougie Brown and Gavin Hamilton.It would confuse things if we suddenly became Great Britain but i can see your point.

As for KP and others over the years well Australia have done the same with Pascoe and Wessells to name but 2.It shouldn't be allowed but it is and we have to get on with it.
