Kieswetter, once again British by birth, although born in South Africa, he is Scottish, but is therefore entitled to live/work in England, and played cricket in England long enough to qualify.
If they are born in South Africa, IMO, they are South African.In turn, if they now live in England are want to "return to their roots", then that would be South Africa.British by birth, but born in South Africa? 
Mate, when you have to work this bloody hard to confirm the questionable heritage of this all-stars team then something must be wrong.
Don't really have to work that hard at all, its quite simple really, generally people that can't understand it are just choosing not to.
British by birth but born in South Africa, not sure whats funny about that, have you not heard of citizenship by decent?
Where your born is what you are is an extremely simplistic view, under that mentality, Symonds would play for England, Khwaja for Pakistan, and children born outside of Australia while their parents are based overseas in Australian government or defence force positions have no claim to being Australian themselves.
