[Johan]

He moved to South Africa in 1965 ffs.

didn't he die in 1965

He went to South Africa for the final nap.

Living in a racist country does make you racist sadly. Poor Trump.

you never know, maybe he just liked South African chicks

 

[Burgey]

He did. The white ones anyway

 

[Prince EWS]

They say he's still a cameraman to this day.

 

[Coronis]

iirc his second wife was a South African beauty queen he met on a tour, unsurprising he moved there for her.

 

[Johan]

now let's not taste shame the Great man, let's target the actual racists in Cricket, like that moustached prick Allan Border.

makes sense.

Or you know, the other guy in the thread title.

Allan Border is the least racist man on earth. Certainly never called West Indians monkeys who belong in trees nor do racist impersonations of coloured South African players.

Shows you how bad England is when you’d rather choose to move to a racially segregated country than stay in the gloom and grime of your homeland.

Quit trolling

 

[Burgey]

Have you met me? I haven’t started yet

 

[subshakerz]

Played 3 tests in Pakistan and averaged 70 though. The quartet wouldn’t have bothered him. Seriously, he was a properly great player of spin.

From what I recall even his brother Ian critiqued Greg's technique against spin.

 

[Burgey]

I dunno why, he didn’t seem to have any issues with it

Back on topic. While neither was the best of their era, Wally technically was briefly before Bradman stole the show.

And without Bradman he was almost definely the best. Sunny can't quite make that claim.

Who was better than Sunny other than Viv?

Chappell has a good case.
