I mean one of our most popular sitcoms was Kingswood Country, not sure how much legs we have to stand on. Then there's Chris Lilley.
Kumars at least was made by actual Asians too.

The ball is ****ing rugby shape by 30 overs. You can’t play Test cricket like that.
All tests in England should be banned until they can produce a decent ball.
The thing is though Spike Milligan was no racist and loved India but it was so odd - and I'm not sure Johnny Speight's satire goes beyond saying things that are racist and the audience laughs with the racism, not realising it's supposed to be mocking the racism.

Maybe get Billy Birmingham to try to pronounce his name....

ECB need to cancel their contract with the Dukes manufacturer. These balls are just not good enough for test cricket if they keep going out of shape in so little time. How could that ball fail to go through the rings so soon. The quality really is shocking.

Well maybe don't change the one that's just got you 3 wickets so quickly then...

90 minutes in for 16 overs. Pathetic.

i'm a massive Duke's fan but if they keep going out of shape like this then they need to cut the contract.
we should NOT be going to Kookaburra as a replacement though

Sure. You can argue with that decision to change but you can’t have cricket balls that go that soft and misshapen in ten overs if you want to play Test cricket. I’m sure it’s fine for the Hundred or whatever.
The solution is not to ban frequent ball changes, it’s to fix whatever has happened to the Duke’s ball.
Did lords get other balls for this test? Don't recall the SA & Aus bowlers crying this much about the ball.
India doing a good job trying to out slow over rate Stokes.
Absolutely dreadful. We need to go back to play till all the overs are done or light is too bad.

Both those teams consistently hit the seam. Means the ball doesn't lose shape as quickly.
