Do you notice one thing. In the previous Year Dirk Nannes was played for holland in T20 WC and this year he is represents australia what the hell it is...It is possible one player can play for any nation after playing for his country. If it so..then i think it is a very ridiculous thing in cricket one should not have the right to do so...then sachin can also represent pakistan in cricket.ICC Should think about it and step out with some strict rules and regulation of this matter..
What the view you have on this serious matter..Please share with me..?

Yes ,its a very poor thing,playing for 2 country.
but in cricket i think its allowed,if he takes he nationality of that country he can play for them. But after playig for Holland ,its not right playing for Australia.
He would have preffered MONEY more important than COUNTRY.
I am sure that Australian board will pay him more than Netherland.
As he a great cricketer,the australian board would have asked him to do it,and he would have accepted it because of money.
Any way its not right.
As you said ICC should bring some rules on it.

Amir elahi,Gul mohammed,Ah kardar played first for India and then Pakistan.Nawab pataudi senior(England to India),Keppler vessels played for Australia and then South Africa.F.Hearne and F.Mitchell(England to South Africa).These are some of the players who have played for two nations.There are few more.Dirk Nannes is the last one.Actually it depends on what feelings one has for his motherland.
