Ok, so he considers himself English but all the same he was playing for Australia under-19's at 16 years old! He's obviously quite handy!

off topic - it makes me think how big of deal Tendulkar is/was playing test cricket at 16.

Or Afridis ton off 37 balls aged 16 in only his second ODI.

Afridi's 16 was always a bit suspicious mind...

On teh subject of Hain, a friend who saw him play in Australia mentioned him as one to look out for, and its good that he sees himself as English (to be fair, born to British parents in the then British terrirory of Hong Kong IS pretty British - Aussies were just trying to do another Token on us!)

Played against him when he was in Scotland at 14, scored 190 odd the week before they played us.

Afridi was born on 29th February  .

Born in Hong Kong to English expats - sounds pretty English to me.

Did SFA for Oz u19's, but being only 17, you would expect him to keep improving.

May never make it, so all this is probably moot.
