It's unbelievably disheartening mate and I know that many of the boys from the community who play the sport are feeling the same way I think Majid Haq and Qasim Sheikh are already calling for an inquiry up here, tbh a few years ago I remember Haq making claims of being treated unfairly / claimed race was involved but nobody really took it seriously. Maybe he was right after all It is good to see most people coming out and demanding change on this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 i'd add also that stuff coming out from guys like Vaughan and Bumble is depressing AF Literally 2 of my favourite cricket pundits alongside Mike Atherton + Nasser Hussain I saw this morning Ebony Rainford-Brent got a sickening letter from a racist, telling her she's primitive and to go back to her country because it's a "white cricket culture" This is a lady who captained Surrey. She was part of England world cup winning teams, Ashes winning teams and she is getting this nonsense. I mean, are we part of the country or not?

Clemdog 39,389 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Heartbreaking for Rafiq, but fair play to him for getting this onto the stage it deserves to be. I find it astonishing (as somewhat of an outsider) that this culture exists in Cricket, I thought it would be the one sport that it didn't. I say that because I thought the Asian culture was woven through, not just British cricket, but the World's. Very naive of me. The stuff about Ballance and Hales is sickening.

I’m not as shocked as I should be by some of it. Cricket is by enlarge still an elite sport played by folk from wealthier families in England look at the squad seemingly very high percentage are privately educated and sadly that gives some, not all, a better than others outlook. Leeds is a cracking venue to watch cricket and it’s a shame the venue gets punished for the racists that run the CC from there.

They seem to think that this culture is actually worse in cricket than in football, which is why a lot of Asians etc don't follow what was called the Tebbit test Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kplfishtank 4,657 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Ashes series coming up on 7th December Cant see anything other than an easy win for the convicts.

TEFTONG 60,189 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 My brother bought me the new Cricket 22 on the PS4 and I will play it out as best I can. Mind you it took 40 minutes for an update to download. Think that was them removing Paine and adding in the new convict captain. The career section is pretty interesting having to do training as well as nets. It will keep me occupied on my days off. RangersMedia 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I see the BBC have a game plan to England victory in which step one is “Stop Steve Smith from scoring runs”. Solid plan. plymouthranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Can’t believe they’re voluntarily playing neither Broad nor Anderson. That’s a huge call. But then again I’m not sure who I’d leave out. You always want a spinner at Brisbane, Wood is the only legitimate fast bowler, Robinson has to play all five (basically because he’s tall), and Woakes gives you swing (and a very handy lower order batsman).

TEFTONG 60,189 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 How is the weather looking for the next 4 days because that's the only thing that can stop England getting a right pumping straight off the bat. Root out for nought shows how fragile mentally they are. My heart ruled my head and came back down with a bang when I watched that 1st hour last night.
