FMD I love JP Duminy in limited overs cricket. Just bitchslapping his countryman Morne Morkel around :laugh:

Does it. Neesham just did enough and let JP do his magic. First Neesham's 6 off Chawla brought them back, and then he survived the Narine over which was critical. Also managed to get bat on ball against Chawla to ensure that at least JP was on strike if he got caught.

Obviously JP is the superstar (WAFG) but sometimes the non-striker can lose the game for you. Here Neesham just did enough. Good on him.

There was a poster in the crowd yesterday proclaiming "No Chris (t) No Show"

He's good but he can't turn water into wine.

fairly sure that white mischief would be a sponsor and not just some random words they decided to put there.

it's the name of a vodka and there isn't much wrong with cheerleading.
nothing wrong with cheerleading at all, but why does an India team recruit a bunch of American girls to cheerlead for them? There's a very obvious implied ***uality and objectification coming from the name and cheerleading in nature. While that's not an issue in and of itself, the message between the lines is that Indian women shouldn't be subjected to the same ***ualisation and objectification as foreign women. i.e. mischief is only ok for white women. At the same time, it questions the morals of foreigners while perpetuating the inhibition of Indian women. I'm not sure which is sadder.

Yeah, this is a bit like seeing one of Eddie Bernays' crudest and earliest psychosexual allusions retrieved from some 1920s basement, and dusted off to manipulate fresh credulity to the east.

this is all well and good but this would have been an issue regardless of what they were wearing, and would have been an issue five years ago too. seems odd to bring it up in relation to that one photo.
