Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted November 16, 2021 Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, BobyBrno said: He claimed that British Asian representation in professional cricket since 2010 dropped nearly 40% and that England have missed out on "a hell of a lot of talent" because Asian and black cricketers have been subjected to racism. This was a quote from his appearance today. (It’s from the BBC website) If you look at the England team today, how can it be more representative of our society? I have said previously, the England cricket team is the most diverse in world cricket. He hasn't claimed the national cricket team unrepresentative as far as I'm aware, just that the country has missed out on potential Asian and black talent due to declining participation levels (if the figures quoted are correct).

Blokes can be women etc. Male prisoners get themselves transferred to a women's prison for example. All fine.

They could then adopt the nationality of their parents but still would say at sea on the birth certificate I assume. So In reality they are just weird and at sea’ers.
