'Tebbit Cricket Test' For Immigrants Should Become Law
"Right Mr. Begum, you get one over, if you hit him you can stay, if you get him in the balls you get a place on the England Cricket Squad and your whole family can come and live here too. What me and the lads like to call a double rollover....! Just our little joke you understand. Ok, Sir, when you're ready..."

Well that's going to backfire... if there's anything that foreign fellers are better at than English fellers it's cricket. Surely the test should only allow people who are shite at cricket into the country?
See part about place on England Cricket Squad, genius. This man's an intelligence analyst, would you believe?
See, Leo, it's like with Doctors and Nurses. We can't make enough decent ones over here so we have to import them from India and the West Indies.
That'll show those smartypants Aussies who's got the better immigration policy....
I hit him in the balls but I think I'll stay here in Australia where we play real cricket, on real cricket pitches, with a 'cold' beer in one hand and a 'screw you England' flag in the other.
May I say I unreservedly support your decision, but I still suspect you of being an Englishman. your vernacular seems somewhat unaussie to moie.
All these “homegrown” Terrorists come precisely from the community that Lord Tebbit was so concerned about when he made his “cricket test” comments in 1990.

Lord Tebbit said the ‘cricket test’ was a means of gauging whether a community had integrated.
“If a community was looking back at where it had come from instead of looking forward with the people to whom they had come to, then there is going to be a problem sooner or later.”
Well, today it’s Sooner. But Lord Tebbit has been warning England that this was coming for 16 years.

And, what he said in 1990 is still the case today with the Pakistani community in England.
'Traitor' Sajid battles against the crowd
By Staff Sports Reporter
BOLTON-born Sajid Mahmood won his battle with a section of the Headingley crowd to play a key role in England's emphatic third npower Test victory over Pakistan.
The Lancashire seamer became a target for a particular corner of the ground, who labelled him a traitor because his parents were both born in Pakistan before emigrating to England in the 1970s.

During England's Test victory over Pakistan on Tuesday he was targeted by some fans who accused him of betraying his Pakistani heritage.

The British Pakistani community may live within England, but they don't consider themselves of England.
Sajid Mahmood WAS BORN IN ENGLAND so it is right and proper for him to play for England. So the real traitors were those who were calling him traitor.
16 years later Lord Norman Tebbit is still Right!
