Always assumed he'd play for Australia tbh. Certain I read somewhere he said he'd choose them (correctly and rightly) if both came calling.

Cracking batsman, mind.

yeah, i agree that he should play for the aussies, though i suppose there's no difference between him and some of the saffers we've got playing or have played for england...

Most of the saffers qualify through parentage though? Which is a different issue to residency.

Keeping his powder dry but he is an Aussie. Be interesting to see if an Australian state side approach him this winter to play for them because then he has to declare his wish to play for Australia and would then be classed as an overseas player here.
Mitch Claydon was offered the chance to play a couple of matches for New South Wales a couple of years ago but declined so he could keep his county contract over here.
Robson probably has to decide does he stay a Pom and at the very least have another 10/15 years as a county cricketer or be an Aussie and probably get 3/4 seasons with a state side to make it to the national side.

I was under the impression he'd decided to be English for these very reasons.
