Wisden's 40 Leading Cricketers in the World 2005

[Robertinho]

That looks suspiciously like you quoted my post and made a couple of changes..

 

[Nate]

Guilty as charged. I kept the format, but deleted all the players and picked `em myself.

 

[ClownSymonds]

I'm not giving anything about racism, I just had no idea what you meant!

Ok, good. I was just preempting what I thought might be coming and/or originally implied.

 

[ClownSymonds]

An addition to my list:

Zimbabwe
Chingoka
Bvute

 

[pakster]

He looks like a dog. And don't give me that "OMG, RACIST!!!!" crap. It's not because of his skin color; it's because of his face.

You're not weird at all.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Ok, good. I was just preempting what I thought might be coming and/or originally implied.

Crisis averted.

 

[Matteh]

No Geriant?

I still don't understand it.

Absolutely no reason to mention racism at all, suggests a guilty conscience to me.

Remember the "What is Clown?" that got closed on the grounds of some dodgy race-related ground being covered?
