Or is this term only used to describe bowlers with darker skins? Or maybe it is okay to knock down brown players like Chanderpaul.

WAS BRETT LEE A SAVAGE?
In reply to bobby
Chanders is a savage for getting up and getting that century!! Little Soft pudding puffs dont have that savagery in their gut to do that.
In reply to Khaga
west indians made of sterner stuff.. in that 75/76 tour of oz, quite a few of our players got hit batting without a helmet..We carried on, beaten but unbowed... Revenge would come a few years later.
Stop calling people savage Khaga...its unbecoming..
FYI
Its the europeans who call all natives savages regardless of colour..So indians and blacks were savages who deserved to be murdered, robbed, enslaved and exploited.
It is a loaded term so educate yourself a bit.

Leff dem - big loud stewwwwwwwwwwwps.
Please remember thought that same English commies would be attacking Archer if he were playing for the West Indies

Remember that it's mikelegend you're addressing, not Surya/Khaga.

He was a beast.
In reply to Drapsey
I will not allow ANYONE to define me or my West Indian people into any derogatory category by their words or insinuations. We all have primal instincts; some know how to use it better than others when needed. Those that cannot are simply fearful of those that can. They crave it, thats why they develop medicine, technology etc to gain what others may have naturally. Chanders was a dour batsman. He was a type of batsman who would break you down an opponent mentally and physically through attrition. It was a slow painstaking kill which in my eyes was more brutal and cruel than a relentless but quick one.

nothing=is what?
In reply to Andy99
I don't see it as nothing. It tells you how the white media sees us. Eventually their true colours are exposed.
In reply to Khaga
You ignorance and lack of sensitivity is appalling.
"Savages" has been used to label non white people as ignorant, uncivilized brutes whose lives are worth less than a mule's.
But you know this as I think it unlikely you would call any west indian a savage to his or her face..
its amazing the courage people have behind a keyboard..
Dere are concussion protocols in place nowadays so batsmen eh have a choice but be examined and if dey fail to answer coherently will have to come off.
Dat said, players of yesteryear watched de ball more closely
In reply to Andy99
Clearly "savage" is a term of appreciation for express pacers..
In reply to Khaga
You keep changing so often, you may end up
as a chameleon.
Maestro has a song calling Caribbean people savage- it is an honour the way we make love, love is all we think of.... khaga doesnt have the right unless he has experienced such....
In reply to mikelegend
Did you watch that match? Shiv showed amazing courage, but that century was achieved with a little help from an umpire who turned down an lbw appeal where the ball was missing off and leg and taking out middle stump
In reply to Walco
.... just like the umpire, I didnt see it that way.
