What do they know of cricket... By Fazeer Mohammed

Also the majority of English people and the wider British public, as I am, totally against our involvement in Afghanistan and aiming to impose our standards and values on them.


In fact we will leave them worse off than when we got there.


It also happens that Iraq has the largest Oil reserve in the world.

Why , am I too intelligent for you ?

I am strong in my opinions but for whatever it is worth  I find it difficult to dislike you

Ramesh,


Your previous post and point duly noted but if I may touch on the Duggan affair enquiry.


At least there was an enquiry! In many cases elsewhere, enquires are very far and few between.


I do not see how the conclusion of the Duggan enquiry/report has anything to do with your point about recognition of Blacks in the ladder of power.


We all have to elevate ourselves even if we are faced with a bolted, shut, ajar or open door.


Yes having it fully open makes it easier to have opportunities but there has to be talent, industriousness, will and that is why I demonstrated how the Indians have elevated themselves in the chain of Cricketing command. Not just in Cricket but IT and Commerce.


Yes there are injustices but the just people far outweigh the unjust ones.

Making excuses continually serves no purpose but we should not lose sight of prejudices and biases. However your position seems to convey prejudices in itself which suggest a Pan Afracanist agenda at the exclusion of all else and you must first address any injustices you see in your diaspora and once you have resolved it within yourself then look further afield.


If your head is filled with hate and burdens then you are unable to move on and embrace the many good we have out there.


I am not blinded by flying the Union Flag or Cross of St George if we embark on something unjust.


It really is not what they can do for you but what you can do for yourself.

To quote your own words ": it takes  one to know one"
In your case it  takes  two to know two... Chin and Socafighter

Are you dense . Have you been afflicted with the same condition as Chin Socafighter? For gods sake the Westindians were unbeatable for well near 20 years with an all Black line up.
Should they have changed for affirmative  action reasons. .
You are the same kind of people that are against affirmative actions for disadvantage blacks but here you are advocating for  lesser qualified East Indians to supplant great black players . Who would you have dropped to fit in an Indian on that remarkable West Indies team , You are a hypocrite

My dear sir madam , you started it but please come up with some vitriol , You are losing it with me
