The One's That Got Away

[benchmark00]

I just thought i'd start a thread with people listing and discussing the international players that were born in another country and played for another..
I think Gough and Mullaley (spelling) were born in Australia?.. maybe they just played here for a bit... Tony Greig was born in SA and played for England... I think Lou vincent and a few others were also born in Australia.... also Andrew Symonds was born in england im pretty sure

John Davison... Wait... no he WAS born in Canada but both parents are Australian or some crap...

 

[duffer]

What was the deal with Graham Hick? Was he born in Zimbabwe and played for England eventually? I remember reading about him being the biggest talent Zimbabwe lost. Dunno about the specifics though.

Peter Kirstien is another.
if IND and PAK are taken into consideration, you have a lotta players playing for IND who were born in PAK and vice versa.
Dean Headley, Devon Malcolm and Allan Lamb were others.

a great OZ bowler from the yesteryears- Clarie Grimmett- was born in NZ to NZ parents.

 

[Beleg]

Kepler Wessels probably too. And many Englishmen/Aussie's of the yesteryears. [1880'S/90'S/1900]
