Look guys its your view l just happen to believe thats how we end up with all these quotas racist claims and counter claims what is racism? Its classification according to colour.
And l challenge you to find a cricinfo button that classifies according to colour...I know of nationality never colour. Also Hamilton's achievement IS as a result of a racist outlook. His being the youngest Zimbo century should have had more prominance than his colour alas he is ALWAYS tagged as first BLACK to 100 like black people have no right to it. I know which carries more weight.
Nash is the only white WIs cricketer. Heard any tags about him? I havent. He is assessed on cricketing terms.
And as of the commentators...l havent heard them (doesnt mean they havent talked along race lines)...but honestly l have never heard them...yes "Indian English Zimbabwean bowlers this and that "...never "black bowlers this and that or white spinners this and that...."
Granted you may have not meant it that way and intentions were good ...accepted. But to justify race classification is simply euphamism for mild arpaietheid. I know that wasnt what you meant but it boils down to it despite all your well meaning.
Like l said its your view and l will fight for you to have it. l just dont agree with it. lm sure the Aussie commentators that joked about Amla's beard didnt mean or see any harm...

You see? Now that differs from what Sillymid and Flower Power are saying and is quite frankly annoying. Particularly the "just how their built" (incidentally, it should be "they're" not "their"). But ah, leopards may never change their spots. Flower Power you're right though, we're prob better off staying away from racial classifications. But back to the cricket; What about Michael Carberry? The guy's a run machine when he's in the mood, though he's not really an ODI player. Bravo's a decent bat, but I'd say he's more of an Elton type player (better bowler and bat than elton) but I think he struggles to put in a hard day's graft with the bat; he has too much flair. You'd put him in at 6/7. So perhaps we should divide the category into top order and middle order bats?

DARREN Bravo, Maweni.
And, I'm probably zimdoggy's biggest critic but wow in this case, you may have judged him rather harshly, unless if I'm missing something
