Anderson, Buttler & Morgan getting dragged in now...

somebody in the media has a agenda with the england cricket team and wants heads to roll
yes its wrong and daft and players of any age should no better ? even if it was years ago we still had the problem back then. its not just because of BLM that highlighted it last year its been a fight since time began ?

i will say there is bigger and higher up the ladder people that have done and said worst in the past and nothing has been said ? are we now going to dig up everybody past and question what they said for publicity

something has to be done and if people want change maybe lets have a line crossed in the sand and leave it there
i heard that people want old music/films /tv vidoes on youtube to be questioned blocked and action taken on the person/persons

the goodies are now classed as racist because of the song funky gibbon crazy

ECB sanctioned taking the piss out of accents and now players are being investigated for it:

Whataboutism is killing the world. That and shit memes.

Meanwhile you say it best, when you say nothing at all.

Oh no, not Ronan Keating, too?

Margate. Ollie Raginson/Racistson shouldn't play for England again

See I told everyone I am surrounded by rags down here in margate lolol

 

[Semper aggressus]

It appears that Ollie Robinson is a United fan, it's a shame he wasn't banned for longer!

I felt like sticking up for the guy, he was just a teenager when he wrote those things after all. How far back do people want to go to look for skeletons in the closet?

But if he’s a rag then he can fuck off.

I get the fallout over the Ollie Robinson tweets. However, dredging up a tweet from 11 years ago when Anderson said Broad's new haircut makes him look like a 15 year old lesbian? Why was there nothing said at the time? Anderson was an established England player at the time with a huge reach on Twitter so it can't be argued that particular tweet could've slipped under the radar like Robinson's would've done.

It was a compliment.

it this rate can nobody make joke's and have a laugh again the world has gone mad.
i have friends right across the board and i fear saying anything to them for crossing the line

its ok to laugh and joke ? boy many people laugh at me and insult me about being over weight and wearing spec's or just being a blue. god i even like a laugh about my dyslexia. it does not bother me when people pull me over it or correct me on it. in fact its made me work on it even more and wanting to get my views out

look people are hurtful and can go over the top and be down right racist and evil. but why tarnish everybody with the same brush ? do black people make fun and jokes about white people ?

Isn't it just a continuation of the rotation policy from the winter?

Probably, but seems self defeating if he’s playing cricket anyway

One day vs five day I suppose, keeps some sort of match fitness without over exerting him.

Hugh Ferris is doing the OT “entertainment”. Poor sods. Thought it was just us.

Lancs aren’t short of keepers in this game.

Buttler gone..

 

[daveyboybluemoon]

Why is Buttler eligible to play for Lancashire, but not England?

He was playing IPL, had to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days when he got back, then was given some time off to spend with his family due to so much time in bubbles over the last year so was never going to be available for the tests against NZ. Given the IPL finished early they made him available for the first 6 Lancs T20 games to keep him up to speed (his first games for Lancs in 3 years!)
