Jason has European heritage, but (unlike Shane Warne) wouldn't be eligible to play for Germany...It was very interesting to learn more about Jason Behrendorff's European heritage. Shane Warne's mother was born in Germany so he would be eligible for a German passport. Jason explained how an extra "f" was added on the end of his surname to avoid persecution during World War I, and that his surname actually means "bear in the village".
