WAS BRETT LEE A SAVAGE?

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

Chanders is a savage for getting up and getting that century!! Little Soft pudding puffs don’t have that ‘savagery’ in their gut to do that.

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.

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, that’s 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.

I don't see it as nothing. It tells you how the white media sees us. Eventually their true colours are exposed.

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..

 
Maispwi 2019-08-19 16:58:49 

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

 
Andy99 2019-08-19 17:09:49 

Racists

 
Andy99 2019-08-19 17:11:15

Maestro has a song calling Caribbean people savage- it is an honour the way we make love, love is all we think of.... khaga doesn’t have the right unless he has experienced such.... big grin

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 smile
