*Official* Yorkshire CCC racism crisis thread

[Burgey]

Why?

 

[Spark]

This is tangential but no wonder Dobell decided to **** off out of Cricinfo when their senior county correspondent has spent every turn covering for YCCC's reputation at every possible opportunity. He's "tired of it" now, natch...

Miserable sums him up pretty well. I’ve seen him at work during an England defeat!

Hard to blame him for that tbf. At least the rest of us can get it off our chests on CW instead of boring our friends, families and work colleagues.

I see they are literally going for the "I have a black friend" defense.

I think their past is indefensible. This current move is a step in the right direction to heal the wounds.

I always have a bit of an inadvertent chuckle when these stories of racism in English cricket come out. Of course there's nothing remotely amusing about racism and where it exists it should be dealt with in the firmest possible manner. But there always seems to be a slight irony given that Google often almost collapses under the strain of people searching to see if any of the England team are actually English.

Yep, PR in full swing. Asian Chairman (or whatever his role is), Haris Rauf now...what's next, a coach from Bangladesh?

Diplomatic. Why go over old ground. We all know there was a problem and wounds won't heal if they are constantly picked at.
