***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

[Shady Slim]

Absolutely dire post. I dont necessarily agree with what S Kennedy was saying (though I can kind of see where he's coming from )but this in response is just bottom of the barrel posting.

tbh isn't it technically racism

heck not even technically it's just flagrant racism

 

[indiaholic]

Is calling Australians convicts racist?

 

[Shady Slim]

technically yes though that falls in to "accepted racism that we deem alright because reasons"

just like if you called the pakistan team just pa-
wait

I didnt detect any racism I just thought S Kennedy was being a dick and Adders didnt want to be left out. But in general I do find Poms whinge a lot.

The words P*** or N***** have distinct racial associations........to me Pom or Convict are nothing like them, it's just banter. Of course like anything it depends how it's used, tell me to "**** off you Pommy ****" in an argument and I'll take issue, say "You wanna beer Pom?" and we'll be friends for life.

I took issue with TNT's post not because he used the term Pom, but because he insinuated that he would ignore/disregard a poster purely because of where they come from, yeah maybe that is racist, but I wont go that far..........I'll just say it was ****ing ignorant and childish and a pathetic response in a discussion.

And I see from his latest post he wants to continue in the same vein.

Wait how did "racism" come into it?

English & Australian isn't a race. This is just bizarre.

Why can't poms handle banter from their exiled criminals?

Racist.

 

[Daemon]

Haha calm your **** adders, pretty sure he was joking

 

[Adders]

I like to consider that I have a decent sense of humour and am certainly not averse to engaging in a bit of banter on here. But FMD, someone is going to have to explain to me me how this is remotely amusing or even an attempt at being so........

Oh if I had of known you are a pom then I wouldent have bothered reading your post. goodbye.

But in general I do find Poms whinge a lot.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Obviously you wouldn't get it since you're a whinging pom

sry

Hard to tell where you are coming from, are you just engaging in banter or are you really outraged. Its hard ot tell with you pommie gits.

Look of course it comes down to our national biases...........I'm kinda preconditioned to disliking Australian captains.

 

[Spikey]

and a happy 229 anniversary of the day some poms took over a whole land because of their white supremacy beliefs

 

[mr_mister]

Pommy bastards

 

[Spikey]

[Starfighter]

That's 5/5 tosses.

Dropped first ball

 

[TheJediBrah]

Fitting start for Pakistan tbh

 

[Gnske]

A Pakistani fielder in any side is a liability, good thing we left him out.

Case and point, the first ball.

Good to see Wahab back. Hopefully some excitement in offing.
