English cricket is deep-rooted with widespread institutional racism, sexism
and class-based discrimination, a report has found.

The England and Wales Cricket Board issued an unreserved apology for the
failings highlighted in the report and to the victims of discrimination in
cricket, and will work over the next three months on a package of reforms
based on the 44 recommendations within the report.


The ECB must commit to being an anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-classist
organisation and encourage all other cricketing organisations to do the same.

Within the next six months, it must put in place mandatory, specialist, high-
quality training to support the development of racial literacy amongst its
leadership and the most senior leadership of the wider game.

There was no mention that the game was also pretty boring.

The 20 and 50 Overs games are quite good. Especially in World Cup games.

Soooo my elderly next door neighbour ( 87) is absolutely livid !!


He watches all forms of cricket and ( like many others ) he NOW detests all the women taking over the men’s game ( they also do all the women’s matches as well ) !!


The second ODI featuring England and South Africa is on soon and this woman is THE expert pundit …

The funny thing is when I told him that women were ruining the whole experience of watching footie on the telly he dismissed my grumblings as an overreaction but now HIS precious cricket is going the same way !!

I hadn’t the heart to say “ I told you so ! “

Incidentally she isn’t even an ex cricketer which in itself would be bad enough !

Do you think it's your condition that makes you profoundly unaware of the misogyny of your anti-women posts and make you justify.your stance when people point it out? Well, you're not anti ALL women obviously, just the ones that aren't very young, very pretty or very AI.

Women are not the reason the sport is being ruined.

But seeing as I’m currently bored, please entertain me as to why you think it is the case.

Well it may appear so if you just read the odd post here and there and then take everything out of context

To be fair I have explained my belief as to why women pundits and co commentators are ruining men’s football many, many times already

No, YOU think Alex Scott is a useless pundit. Whether or not you fancy her is nothing to me.

The way you talk about women is out-dated at best, Zizu. I'm sure you're aware of what you're doing as it's pointed out constantly by a range of different people. We are ALL defined by our mental state which makes all of us who we are. Ignoring people's objections and blaming your condition is wearing thin.

You suggested that I hated women UNLESS they are good looking so I simply disproved your theory

Nah, she pointed out that you view woman as objects for your viewing pleasure rather than actual people with personalities and .......brains
