pink_triangle Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I think Afghanistan should now be banned from international cricket. A country who wont let women access education needs to be shunned by the sporting community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I agree on an overall principle, but is it fair that Rashid Khan, who refuses to return to Aghanistan because of how the Taliban treat people in the country, doesn't get to play international cricket?

I am not keen on F1 banning Russians etc either. We just had a world cup in Qatar ffs lol Sport is involved in Russia not being in the world cup which I fully support. I think that there are always debates about what we are willing to accept and not. However if a country won't let females be educated then that to me is a red line. At the end of the day it only makes that country suffer by stopping talented women contribute in jobs like doctors. To me these government crave the acceptance that sport provides and we should take that acceptance away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Moeen is the most joyous and joy-creating cricketer I've ever watched, and I'm so glad he got an actual sendoff instead of the nonsense abuse around the India tour mid-covid. Broad's been okay as well I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have missed it if I hadn’t seen a mate commenting on it 🙈 Every game seemed to hang in the balance at one point. Great summer of cricket. I’m going to watch some “live” stuff this weekend……weather permitting 🫣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Nabbed tix for a women's ODI again. Reasonably priced and easier to fit around festivals than all of the test matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the UK should take its share of the blame given the colonial history and the partition of the region into India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, but England have boycotted SA for racist practices and denying access to cricketers, and I don't think that just because the BCCI control 2/3 of the money in the sport, it should stop a similar boycott here.
