ECB racism: Hoggard/Brennan pull out

Apparently they foresee the truth coming out?
Is it Trumpian to say I won’t participate because I might be found guilty and it will be unfair when that happens?If you have nothing to hide…

Bresnan say the ECB ‘pandering’ to Azeem Rafik
Hoggard saying all lives matter

But they bide their time good and proper
The rabid base tired of Azeem time and can give them support

Lip service in dealing with racism shock

Yeah, we've heard those arguments before, from those Tory voters....

Ballance in now. Now that's he's quit the captaincy of Yorkshire, and now plays for Zimbabwe, he seems more cooperative than the likes of Hoggard and Bresnan.

exactly....all these woke ppl running around screaming social justice.....the minute they become part of the institution the go from "no justice no peace" to "well, there are some peculiarities. we have to consult our stakeholders". The ones with integrity resign in utter frustration.

In their formal response to a request for Rashid to give evidence in person the ECB have argued that it would 'disproportionately expensive and time-consuming' to fly Rashid back to England 'to give evidence for a very short period of time.' The Yorkshire hearing is due to take place between 1 and 8 March and clashes with England's one-day and Twenty20 series in Bangladesh,


Wink wink big grin

So he can't give testimony via Zoom? Or is Zoom banned in the UK?
