I mean it's quite clear why the US & it's Western allies should never bring Taliban, War on terror or any other such BS in any debate. Lest they've forgotten who funded the Taliban or Saddam Hussein & of course Israel today. But it's probably collective amnesia so we should just do a Ghajini on that.

I can only assume people who think that's a great point also thought the rebel tours to SA were a great idea.

Unless I'm very much missing something Burgey wasn't in charge of US foreign policy in the 1980s or 2001.

No but SA sponsored the rebel tours, not the countries opposing it, & you know Talban is a byproduct of US' failed policies in the Middle east & Central Asia. More importantly while in principle that may be considered a good move it won't move the needle on the actual situation on the ground you know the famous saying from the nearly 20 years WoT back then?

You have the watches, but we have the time.

In that at least I'll give some credit to the South African regime that they had "some" shame, the Taliban do not!

Then stop bringing up Taliban as a red herring, the issues in the region are far deeper & exaggerated today then they've ever been. Banning Talban led Afghan cricket team leads to what exactly you think? Really give it your best shot?

The point is that Burgey made a post and you replied to it by bringing up his nationality. Which is exactly what that post tells people not to do.

And if you bring up the same BS about Taliban over & over again, without also knowing about their background then what's that all about? Is he ignorant of the Taliban history or just doing this because he feels the need/urge for it?

It certainly looked like the rope moved to me, on first viewing. But whining about the results in the finals of major international cricket competitions is for the weak minded.

Hopefully everyone who needs to get out of there safely already has; I don't think anyone had "Category 4 hurricane going through the area in the first week of July" on their planning list (because it's never happened before in the historical record)

Mr. Glass
aiden markram will win a WC before he's done. dodgy as a bat but his captaincy is good. both india and sa were seen in similar ways for the last decade and his time will come too. hopefully they identify a decent limited overs all rounder to bat at 7 and push jansen to 8. if they fix their lower order we will all realize that they are not chokers but only strategically wrong.
