When you watch the England side these days do you feel any national pride when we do well or is the success of the side tarnished in your eyes because so few are english?

Yes but definitely think it's tarnished by the Saffas.

I'm English, it's the England team, I still take pride when we win. I know half the team aren't English which does detract from it a bit, but at the end of the day it's still the England cricket team.
 
I feel the same as I do when watching Sunderland. I don't need 11 lads from Wearside to make me love my club, I just want 11 blokes giving their all. As for England, does it really matter if some of the team were born abroad? Would you count Frank Bruno, Terry Butcher, or Nasser Hussain as anything other than English?

Darren Pattinson was born in Grimsby BTW
