South Africa is hunting ground for England:

Harsa bhogle while commentating on yesterday's Clt20 match.
Why does these commentators always use to put these dismal issues?
Are we not done with these nationality issue?
Its only so common that we find general fans talking about these saffer playing for England kind of issues as even the Game's commentators,pundits and players themselves talk about this.
Harsa Bhogle should better know that He has visited this country ,UK many times and How can he be ignorant that England is not a single race country like India..In UK,you find Chinese,Indians,Pakistanis,Gorkhalis,Carribean and virtually every nationality of the world.
Its a multicultural society for Christ's sake.Why is it so hard for People to get it?
BTW,when England used to be a paltry side a couple of years ago,None used to raise these issues.Now that England are looking ferocious and Invincible,People are taunting England with any issue they can find.
Is it Englands Problem that people come to England for better future?
If I were an England fan,I would be irritated and a bit hurt by that kind of non-issues.
This from Australia fan..
BTW,for English fans,Your joy is coming to an end in 2013 Ashes.
Your in-form player will be exposed by us..We will take Revenge.

So England's recent successes are all down to the 3 or so players who played youth cricket outside of England are they neon?
Those who learnt all their cricket in England haven't contributed at all then?

"Thats what I said and got met with responses along the linesof Pieterson, Trott an Kieswetter learned most of their cricket in England SA did little for them:

Some responses from England fans:

"KP only learnt how to bat in England
And that is more important than anything else""

So, basically, you had one response saying something like what you're suggesting numerous England fans have been saying?
From what I've read the vast majority of replies to your point (my own included), have not failed to acknowledge the influence of their time in SA on the careers of KP, Trott and Kieswetter, but, rather, have, in reply to your implication that the SA system is soley responsible for the development of these players, pointed out that the time spent by these players in the English system has been at least as important to their development as players. So yes, the SA system takes some credit for their development but so, equally at least, does the English system.
Maybe all the teams including players who have learned and developed by playing county cricket should thank the English system?

You just cant keep away can you. Without your daily fix of coming on here and moaning and groaning to relieve the pain of India's failure your life is empty.

Not 1 response- I did say I wasent going to filter through all the articles. But there have been many."

Most of the responses have simply said that the development of players such as KP and Trott was as much (or possibly a little more) due to their time in England as their time in SA. Very, very few have said that KP and Trott have learned everything they know through playing in England.
