Darren Pattinson,

Still to this day I have no idea why he was picked at Leeds v SA.

I don't either. I know Darren - he played his club cricket at my club a couple of years before. He was picking up wickets for Notts and was called up to the England squad training at Loughborough 3 weeks before the Test. They knew he was English born. He had several sessions with the squad - he was not unknown to them in the way the cricketing media said. He was phoned several times by Geoff Miller to see how he was feeling. Next thing he knew - the call came to go Headingley to play for his country. What would you have done in a similar situation? You don't turn your country down do you?

If a certain player had not been out at a testimonial function the night before then the situation would not have happened.
 
177 for 7 @Aleem Dar. is this fair enough, as it may wrong in a months time, but you keep pointing things out I WAS WRONG
