****ing old dunderheads, they never tire of stereotyping people who don't look like them, do they?
yeah no one remembers him i think
I remember admiring his batting and then I umpired a limited over Grand Final in which he was playing after his Test careeer was over. I enjoyed having a beer and a chat with him post game.

****ing hell, the chairman of the club who's also in charge of the league calling him in to discipline him for breaching social media policy (ie. speaking out) is just gross.Asian cricketer was ‘silenced’ for criticising club’s blackface party
ECB to investigate as game risks losing generation of aspiring players over racism
you wonder why people don't blow the whistle and then see **** like this it's just so... it makes your skin crawl
Look, just because his absolute best mate in the world was a constant racist, it doesn't mean Joe ever saw any of it. Honest.
Appropriate username.

Absolutely. I hope the ECB are investigating the lower levels of the game as much as they are the county game. God knows what they'd find if they dig. Yorkshire and Leicestershire are two counties with significant South Asian populations but it's depressing that this kind of behaviour persists. I just can't get why anyone thinks blacking up is remotely acceptable or amusing in 2022. Do people not ask themselves whether they should be doing this?
Lol did you not see the photo
Yes, and it is definitely in poor-taste and racist in nature, but I stick by my assertion that Nigel Kinch's actions (and he is in the photo) are far more contemptible.
