i get it the word has a different meaning we can name them "Africa-America XI""Afro-American" is a term with an actual, defined meaning and it's not "people from the Americas or Africa".
I think we should probably end this line of discussion here regardless.
Why would a combined team contain WI and SA?i get it the word has a different meaning we can name them "Africa-America XI"
I am not having any Racial feelings but may be you have so you are over sensitized. I divided the Teams based on their Historical proximity not based on Skin.Why would a combined team contain WI and SA?
I think every cricketing nation had some form of British influence or colonialism.
It sounds like you’re saying “the WIs cricketers are mostly dark skinned so they belong in a combined team with the nation with Africa as part of its name”
In short, stop.
You'd think after the last similar incident that you should maybe just end a line a discussion when a mod makes a post like that.i get it the word has a different meaning we can name them "Africa-America XI"
Make a Healthy Argument and don't turn it ugly.Why would a combined team contain WI and SA?

Can he just do his white/black/caramel XIs to get it out of his system?You'd think after the last similar incident that you should maybe just end a line a discussion when a mod makes a post like that.
It's almost like you don't realise it's not compulsory to divide the cricket world up into two-three teams based on race, culture or heritage. I'd just steer clear of that and talk about other things.
The countries in the West Indies are the ones who seem to get the most knighthoods.I am not having any Racial feelings but may be you have so you are over sensitized. I divided the Teams based on their Historical proximity not based on Skin.
Pakistan India Sri Lanka Bangladesh are from South Asia.
West Indies, South Africa and Zimbabwe i placed them in one team just to make a strong 3rd team.
Australia, England and New Zealand all 3 are under British Monarchy and players accept Knighthood from Queen. So placed them in One Team.
I've got very little medical knowledge, but I'm pretty confident this isn't determined by one's ethnic group or place of birth.Color of Faeces.
@Fuller Pilch i know your intelligence is limited to supporting your Pessimistic Friend . Some Countries in West Indies are still under British Monarchy but as i said just included them in 3rd team to make them Stronger. I am not offering a Perfect Definition for dividing 3 Teams.The countries in the West Indies are the ones who seem to get the most knighthoods.
Your Great bloke had a problem if i include West Indies and South Africa in one Team. Why Skin Color should come into discussion.Look, I think we just see things differently to you regarding history and geography. We are not trying to belittle you, or call you a racist. Several of us (not just Red and your's truly) find your way of dividing teams up is a little odd (but that happens a lot in this thread). Let's keep things civil.
Finally, Red is surely a great bloke, but we can never be friends. Call me racist and xenophobic, but he's an Australian...
All round XI vs Specialist XI? Lets do itLook, he said, in a desperate attempt to get the thread back on track......
lets just all admit allrounders > specialists and be done with it.
