Well In Cardinal, All of them born in Scotland and play for Scotland.
I came across this question whilst trying to denegrate the scots team for bringing in ringers. Serves me right!

Cheers Steve. I could write down everything I know about Scottish cricket on the back of a postage stamp.

Speaking of which, why is the following stamp is so famous (in the philately world anyway).

An extra special Cardinal Point to anyone who can tell me the name of the stamp without right-clicking the image and selecting [Properties]

oh s..t, sorry. But there is a difference between being a ringer (Jan Stander, south african qualified to play after 4 years residency) and actually playing for your country of birth as the others do.
Hope this clears things up, steve.

P.S How bad or desperate do you have to be to play cricket that you move from SA to Jockland for 4 years in order to get a game?!

Saying that Isty, my memory recalls Norman Beaton in a play about West Indian cricketers visiting the UK ! I'll look it up on IMDB later.

Well done. It was the most expensive stamp sold ever.

$2,000,000.

He apparently their marque signing although he may well be their marqee due to the lack of training he has had recently.

Lead on Mcduff ., .
