*Official* Yorkshire CCC racism crisis thread

[ImpatientLime]

Plenty of clubs rely on the takings when it comes to the pints also.

Some of the stuff in the report seems fine, but surely you can do all the good stuff and still have Eton V Harrow etc? I don't get how one solitary fixture boils the piss of so many people.

if scenes like this don't make you feel violent inside then you're not human. (or one of them)

Not sure if its been discussed yet, did anyone else catch this cricket monthly article on the cricket scotland situation?

How cricket in Scotland has stumbled from a racism scandal to the brink of meltdown

Since the publication of a report on racism in the game in the country, their cricket board has gone from one crisis and flashpoint to another

Its a long one but rather informative. Rather sad situation imo, Sport Scotland come off as a bunch of ***** too.

I see Tasmania have recruited ex Yorkshire coach Andrew Gale. Do Tasmania have questions to answer?

 

[Burgey]

Tasmania not exactly known for its good treatment of coloured folk down there over the years

About whether they asked the right questions.

just from the little preview, which for the record in case it ever disappears says that ajmad bashir accused israel of slavery, murder, rape, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, i mean, they are most definitely guilty of the first, second, fourth, and fifth of those things

 

[Line and Length]

If Ajmad Bashir's comments are racist then @Shady Slim is also racist.

Can we please please please leave Israel discussion out of cricket chat

Fair comment - a trustee having a rant about the Israel issue hardly makes the Yorkshire C.C. racist.

He's never answered the first ones.

Warner was right to clock him all those years ago. Was prescient.

Bash the Fash. Always Bash the Fash.

Given that Yorkshire owed Graves so much money, and given that they had not been able to find anyone else to invest, it is hard to see what else they could have done.
I greatly dislike though the idea of county clubs being owned by individuals rather run as member owned mutuals - at Yorkshire, Hampshire or anywhere else.

You would expect this should give the ECB a headache.
They agreed to reallow internationals there on the basis that changes were implemented.
Now it looks like they will appoint as their leader a person who has denied that there was ever a problem.
How long before they row back on their undertaking to the ECB?

 

[Yeoman]

I don’t think that the ECB ever wanted to drive Yorkshire out of business. They only suspended them from hosting internationals (during the winter) to placate wider stakeholders - something had to be seen to be done.

And you don't think Graves will take them to a similar place where stakeholders need placating again? Graves will do to Patel's changes, what Trump will do to anything Biden did over the last few years. Perhaps not as far as prosecution.

 

[Yeoman]

I am no cheerleader for Graves however I doubt that he knew what was being said in the dressing room. If he had known, he probably would have assumed that it was just banter, as he said.
Reading the various reports that have come out recently, the primary problem seems to have been the use of racially-charged language. Surely all are now aware of this and the problem should not recur.
