Cricket has always been pretty bad for being an old boys club which isn't very inclusive for people of other backgrounds, think this is revealing it's a lot worse than many people realised though. Bumble and Michael Vaughans media careers probably won't recover and lots more people will come out very tarnished from it all

Hopefully will be the catalyst for things to change because what he said about not wanting his son to play cricket now is pretty sad given how fanatical about the sport a lot of the South Asian community is

Well he gave a very powerful and emotional account of things for about 2 hours ... the part about his son was heart wrenching.

I’m thinking this will drive things forwards over the coming weeks .... he made it perfectly clear thar it wasn’t just a Yorkshire problem and mentioned name after name after name .

Cricket may never be the same again after this morning.

Unfortunately I missed his press conference, sounds shocking though

i've been following it for a few weeks and it's staggering .... They did things like urinate on his head ... and the investigation recommended no further action was necessary ... it's just crazy

I can see this spreading like wildfire throughout the whole of UK cricket .. presumably resulting in many resignations at all levels of the clubs .

Thing is that will just create a vacuum and what’s to say all the new people will be any better ?

That's true tbf about Cricket being an old boys club, sadly a lot of Sports are like this once you get away from Football and Rugby.

With Michael Vaughan's alleged comment, I really can't tell if it was intended as a joke about how good Asian players are at Cricket or if he genuinely was being a racist prick, that's if he really made the comment of course.

And like you I hope that change for the better on this issue will be happening within the Sport.
