Sounds like the Daily Mail is trying to stir up the racists again, but even if it is true, it shouldn't be acted on. He can still consider himself South African and take pride in the team he plays for.

It's a bit like school teams, especially if you're originally from another region. You weren't born in your school, or you might have changed schools recently, but that doesn't mean you don't take pride in the jersey/shirt you wear.

Yeah, this.

Whoever Ed Cowan is, he left this on twitter:

Anyone surprised by this?

Mail really is a piece of crap innit?

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah. Might as well start threads about the shape of the skidmarks on our bog roll.

 

[GIMH]

Good idea, one for the General Sports Forum I think

Not sure enough people are appreciating that B&B pudding falls into that category of food that is often done badly but which can be absolutely superb if done properly. I've been in some pretty fine places that have done it properly and it can be quite something. If you're a pudding person of course.

This is more interesting than the rather less than startling revelation that KP isn't English. I recommend toasting it.

Why bring it up so much later anyway?

Slow news day for the Fail i think.

Anyway even if he meant it it is what he does on the park that matters and over his career he has done better than most of the rest of the team so he deserves to be cut some slack.

The Daily Mail deservers a fate like NOTW.

 

[hang on]

i can't believe that booth left the guardian to go and write for the daily heil. or that steve busefield (part of test match sofa and also had a wonderful daily ashes blog last winter) was part of the heil stable.

 

[GIMH]

Maybe the Mail pay better? Dunno what the comparative sales are like.

What's the Mail's sister paper? Does it have one?

 

[Uppercut]

The Mail on Sunday, I believe.

 

[GIMH]

Ah yes, but do they have a daily from the same firm. Like The Sun/Times, Star/Express etc

 

[Params7]

So..is it proper to call him an English batsmen?

 

[NasserFan207]

The daily mail is actually the best paid tabloid in the UK. Its also likely the most successful. As we all well know, taking comments out of context is something literally every British Media outlet does however.

And yeah, the people who run the fail are a bunch of Nazi ****s

+1

 

[hang on]

yeah the pay aspect would be important but the guardian to the mail is such a change of stance at a moral level even if u have nothing to do with the politics of the dishrag. the pay would have to be far superior to make up for the moral and quality/renown gap.

 

[SteveNZ]

Isn't the bigger mystery why Ed Cowan has a book?

 

[GotSpin]

Ed Cowan is awesome. Went to my school.
