...Colin de Grandhomme is a very silly name.

...Colin de Grandhomme is a very silly name.

Is he one of the 'English' players? I understand that the 'England' captain is actually Irish, that several of the 'England' players ran away from the champagne as if confronted by a demon, and that one chap was born in the Caribbean?

It's hardly village greens and warm beer and the Vicar's wife ona bicycle, is it?

[Ash]

Something about quick feet for a big man.

Morgan's mother is English and he has held British citizenship since he was a baby, while Archer's father was born in England.

Anyway, these are the benefits of empire. We get a slightly bigger pool in which to fish.

Would love someone to tell Ben Stokes he isn't English

Apparently he's a Kiwi, la.

I hadn't considered translating Colin. That's even better. Imagine the confusion with which his name is greeted in France.

A 'Kiwi' with a Cumbrian accent.
