He's a funny guy no doubt, but I wonder if he is stepping a little close to the mark. I'd hate for him to provide the Australian press with some ammunition off the back of one of these diaries. We all know how the press works. 'Finn is the most boring cricketer I've ever played with' quickly becomes 'unrest as factions within England squad publicly insult team mates' etc. Bull crap but it does have an unsettling effect.

possibly the put on asian voice is a bit too close to the mark for someone so high profile

I thought the voice was maybe a little too far.

Having said that I'm sure if he did a Welsh, Northern, or any other accent people may have not taken any notice. He's only doing it for a joke, not to be racist or offensive....

No, sensible folk like you or I can see that, however there are alot of folk out there who live to be offended and cause a stink about these things. Sad state of affairs that someone can't do an innocent and affectionate impersonation of a friend without having to think about such things.

Agree with you there mate. There will always be some idiots kicking up a fuss. Him and the boys are only doing exactly what we all do in the changing rooms and on the field every weekend. You can't say anything these days.

Funny video though, best yet I reckon

I think the ECB might be more strict with him now on what he releases. I hope not, but given that the tests have started and him not exactly having a blinder in the 1st test, we might see a watered down version...

Hope not though

Swanny's Diary is hilarious!!! wonder why is it that people take offense on behalf of others??? Mushy clearly did not take offense at it in the slightest!!! I myself am asian (all be it with a cockney accent) but please dont patronise others with your faux offense!!! if I or others are offended we have the ability to make our own opinions known!!!! The world has truely gone mad!!!

I agree with you mate, he was only mucking about which is what most of us do on a daily basis. He brings a "Joe Bloggs" attitude to it and I think the man is the b*llocks. People take things way too seriously.

I hope the powers that be don't ask him to be slightly more serious, wouldn't be worth watching otherwise

thw whole point in it being a "diary" is so that its his views and thoughts on things....otherwise he would be following a script which wouldnt be his opinions and not half as funny :D

you are correct Maxy, but isnt it sad that the world is in such a state that people feel like they are treading on egg shells at all times!!! I was always taught that if someone is truely offensive it is a measure of their ignorance!
