cryrst The garden of England 05 Nov 21 5.48am
Yorkshire CCC has been exorcised from cricket basically. I'm sure the news about why is available to all but this guy left the club, then went back. That is strange because now think he's saying the abuse was constant. Why go back? I could be reading it wrong so stand to be corrected.

The leading item on news broadcasts. Really? Its a chance for the Virtue Signallers to fill their boots. A nothing story. Pure, end of the news cycle froth. Still at least it gets the impending (yet again) end of the world due to climate change off the front pages. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

There is a lot more to this than meets they eye. The report has yet to be published in all its glory - a report which will make clear both sides of the argument - and yet everyone is assuming that YCC are guilty as charged. Maybe they are - who knows? But until all of the facts are known people should keep their powder dry - especially the sponsors - but they are so scared of being cancelled that they have no option but to walk away. My personal guess is that some wrong has been done but that YCC have handled the whole thing very badly from the off and so have sealed their own fate regardless of the real facts. This will likely destroy them though. Edited by The Dolphin (05 Nov 2021 7.10am)

Yep from what I read Yorkshire CC have made the right decision and are being destroyed by the 'woke' management at the ECC and idiots in government. Ballance is finding out that what is said between friends has a whip hand and isn't treated equally. We will see if he and Yorkshire are the new sacrificial lambs to the new approved racism.

The abuse was from one of his closest team-mates who were considered to be very good friends It is really irksome when stuff like this grabs headlines, instead of exposing real race issues. I disengage, I turn the page.

I for one am shocked that the posters who have posted on this thread so far are on Yorkshire’s side. It’s always the ones you least suspect to ignore all the evidence right in front of their face to side with their own prejudices isn’t it?

Originally posted by DanH Ballance thought it was ‘banter’ and Rafiq didn’t. That’s what matters, not the intent. Have you listened to Ballance. According to him that isn't true and that they both were friends during and after and Rafiq also participated in 'banter' against him. While personally I've never really been into that kind of language I've seen this between friends many times....insults do get used as jokes and banter. Ballance was invited to his wedding. You seem only concerned with one narrative. Both Ballance and Yorkshire CC seem to be railroaded here....swept up by political ideology rather than any sense of fair assessment of a situation.
