[Simbazz]

1. Is he a specialist batsmen? Yes
2. Is he a current player? Yes
3. Is he English? no
4. Is he from the sub-continent? no
5. Is he from Australasia? no
6. Is he from South Africa? Yes
7. Is he a right hander? no
8. Does he represent his home country? no
9. Does he bowl part time spin? yes/no (Does bowl it, but not many overs, thought this note was neccesary)
10. Does he keep wicket? no
11. Andrew Strauss? no
12. Has he taken part in this year's English Domestic Season? yes
13. Kevin Pietersen? no

 

[Gilly Fan]

Umm. Has he represented a country this year?

 

[Abhas]

did the side he represent played in this WC??

edit : almost the same question from sean and me, at the same time, so please ignore this one...

 

[legspinner@fred]

Jacques Rudolph
Even though he's a kolpak and not representing anyone.
What does home country mean, being born there?
Because Andrew Strauss was born in South Africa, but it's definately not his home country at all, he moved when he was 6 and has been in England for 24 years, while being half English.

That makes him more English than South African.
So just to be pedantic, what does home country mean, sir?
Unless it is Rudolf, then don't answer the question!

 

[Gilly Fan]

Jaques Rudolph played for South Africa and was born there.
And Simon said that they hadn't represented their home country.

 

[legspinner@fred]

Didn't read hadn't.
Thought it said representing, as in representing at this time.
Stuff that then, it's not Rudolf.

15. Jaques Rudolph? Yes

Jaques Rudolph is correct, i said no to "Does he represent his home country," mean, does he, and no he doesnt. He isnt even a Kolpak

Welldone Legspinner, your turn.

 

[Gilly Fan]

But he was born in South Africa, and you said he doesn't represent his home country.

 

[Simbazz]

No, the way I read it was that "is he representing his country now?" and the answer is no

You can keep argueing, my answer wont change

 

[Ollie_H]

Your go then legspinner

 

[evertonfan]

So Rudolph doesn't play for South Africa then? The question clearly said 'Does he represent his home country'. What would have been the point in question 14 had that question meant what you thought it meant?

Anyway, come on Leg.

 

[AbBh]

The question is Does he represent his home country? and not Has he represented his home country? so the answer was correct imo and the Q14 is Has he represented a country this year? the answer to which is again correct. legspinner@fred understood them properly and hence gave the correct answer.

 

[legspinner@fred]

!

Right

I have one.

 

[Abhas]

has he retired??
