Essex have been fined £100,000, with half suspended, after admitting to a charge of racism which they failed to address between 2001 and 2010

So, does Alastair Cook have questions to answer?

Look I probably would say this because Essex are “my county”, but they have cleaned house more effectively than Yorkshire. Yorks basically refused to admit there was a problem. Essex didn’t. The guy who tried to do that, Faragher, was sacked. Graves is back in charge at Yorks.

Looks like there is a method to how England chose their captains...

Yep. England and Wales seem incapable of appointing a captain who isn't mired in scandal of one kind or another.

Ronnie Irani was skipper for most of this period.

"Captain Cook" indeed

 

[kevinw]

Cook had basically two years of CC before getting called up for England, after which he barely played for Essex. Hardly imagine he was the dressing room instigator.

By which time he was barely 21 years of age as well. You would have thought it would be more likely to come from more longstanding members of that dressing room.

Has Cook answered these questions yet?

if you’re the senior pro in your side you have a responsibility to be across what’s going on. Moreso once you ascend to captaincy. Toffy Boy has questions to answer. Is he racist like Joe Root or merely racist-adjacent?

 

[TheJediBrah]

I'd like to believe otherwise but I think we have to face the inevitable truth that this is all on Alistair Cook

 

[Chubb]

Please close this thread I don’t think the forum can survive another four years of Burgey doing this bit.

 

[Burgey]

Chubb apparently wants to shield suspected racist-adjacent cricketer Alistair Cook from scrutiny

 

[andruid]

Soon we will have a racism comparison thread/poll.

 

[Burgey]

Tipping a Gavaskar- Lehmann final tbh

Please close this thread I don’t think the forum can survive another four years of Burgey doing this bit.

If Zac Crawley played for Essex I suspect you'd allow it

England’s women cricket captain fined for blackface

Heather Knight apologises for attending a sport stars themed fancy dress party with her face blackened.

Good to see the Poms dont discriminate on gender lines. They’re equal opportunity racists.

Soooooo many questions to answer.
