Not boasting it's just a bit of a worry for England that the Chairmans xi are really a bunch of club cricketers.. Not one player from Sheffield shield is in the team

[Number4]

Starting to get a little embarrassing for the England team now...

Chairmans xi overtaken England's score and now number 9 Muirhead smashing Finn for 2 fours....

Chairmans xi 7/235

The seamers aren't looking very impressive at all

Swann 4 wickets
Panesar 3 wickets

Not sure if 'racist' is a bit strong for a stupid joke gone wrong by the sounds of it. He wad not being derogatory

Jokes are racist now a days, whether they are by mistake, meant in jest or indeed meant exactly how hey sound. Ignorance is no excuse

Because Monty is of Asian descent.

It is no different to going up to an Aussie and saying "G'Day mate" in an Aussie accent.

If he had done it to a white skinned cricketer, and put on a 'proper' English accent, would he have had the same outcome? Probably not.

What he did was wrong, a gross misjudgement on his part, but to label him a racist is, in my opinion, a bit harsh. He has already lost his job over it.

Err what did he do?
