Lone Wolf Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Too harsh.. That means he'll miss Tests against India too most likely. PR overdrive by ECB. And most hilarious thing is Overton will get benefitted from this the most... Another one accused of racist slurs lol raki05 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Overreaction. People do stupid stuff on SM all the time, especially teenagers. He apologized for something he did 10 years back, that's enough....but we live in a PC world. Who knows he may be a wonderful person in real life!!!! saik, raki05, nevada and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment

msb1991 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Potentially he is being suspended to investigate whether there are more recent indications of offensive speech or behaviour. I think what the ECB don't want to do is hand out a mild punishment (e.g., a fine) and then more things come to light which they have to then also address. This feels a sensible rationale for suspension. I think if the investigation concludes then he could well be back for the second Test or the next Test after that. As far as I'm aware, it is not a "ban" but rather a suspension pending an investigation. I think if the investigation shows no more recent poor behaviour then the punishment will be fairly moderate.

Bend over backward to accommodate players from white countries in IPL who openly mock Indians on social media. Just came to know of some sad tweets from Morgan, Butter, Mccullum. Flat out disgusting that these barely disguised racists earn their bread in India while mocking Indians. do share Link to comment
