BT talked about playing on a pitch that will suit Cremer, Williams & Raza but negate the Windies fast men.

Great minds think alike hey Streaky! The more the merrier!

Spend tons of money to bring "top" players on exceedingly long contracts only to use Zimbabwe's versions of Warne, Underwood and Murali to try and dethrone the mighty Windies. Beautiful. Absolutely brilliant!

Anyway, I did read somewhere here that Windies aren't that great against spin, nor are their Carribean pitches cundicuve to spin. Plus Cremer's presence this series would tilt the scales heavily in Zimbabwe's favour. Double espresso time!

Pakistani is offensive?

You can say that again? :)


In the UK, absolutely. Which is why I have to stop myself from editing it out by reflex every time you use it.

If Gazza had spent more of his off-season time in SA/ZIM than the UK he would have turned out ok.

Spoiler alert;

It's not the word that's offensive, it's the intent behind a word.

Pakistani should not be offensive due to its derivation, it is just a shortening of Pakistan.

Which is exactly what it is to 99 percent of the world except one country that for a moment lost its balls (up until Brexit) and pandered to every crazy demand from the feminazi types.

Neither should N****r as its a derivation of the spanish word for black. Or really any other slur for that matter. Bengalis will use the term "bangal" which is also a derivative, but that doesn't make it any less pleasant of a word (for the record, I've only ever heard that when my mom wants to call me uncouth or boorish).

It could be argued that calling a New Zealander a "h****t" isn't offensive since it was the setting of the films based of Tolkien's books.
