Apparently Finland took on an England XI yesterday in the European Cricket Championship.
Finland took the field first, with a bowler, wicket keeper, leg slip and a slip cordon of 8 men.
But the England XI still won easily.
Sam Curran will miss the remaining IPL games & has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup, will a back injury. He will be replaced by his brother Tom. Reece Topley has been added as a reserve.
Good, the handling of it by Yorkshire has been shocking, once the money starts going, they start doing things.
They should be suspended from all forms of domestic cricket too so that shows the ECB won't tolerate this.
^^ You might just as well suspend all first class counties from domestic cricket, it would be naive to think that Racism it's going on at all clubs at some level. Just look at how few ethnic players & coaches there are in the game.
That said, as a lifetime supporter of Yorkshire, I'm disgusted with this cover-up. Heads must roll for this. So far the only man who's been punished, Ballance, at least he's admitted his failings, which is more than the rest. The culture at the club has to changed.
Rafiq, had talent, the club had the opportunity to lead the way & make him captain, he had the potential to become a great leader, on & off the field. It should never have got to this point, but hopefully this will be the start of change. It will take some time to repair the damage caused, this is a very low point for this once great club, & it saddens me.
Looks like Michael Vaughn is in the shit

Always been talk about him
He denied it and someone else then confirmed he did say stuff.
He will be on GB News as a host within a few months
not like there is a lot of stuff on twitter that could be used against him
It was naive to think that something like this would not come to the fore in our beloved sport!! Incredulous though that, according to the chairman who resigned, the board - having been made aware, took a conscious decision not to do anything. Now a second player has come forward to say that he was the subject of an alleged unspeakable act at the hands of team 'mates'. Where this will end 'god only knows', but it could conceivably see the collapse of the club in its' current form.
To cap it all, a player (former) has come forward to corroborate allegations against M Vaughan. He has flatly denied any wrong doing it should be said!
How can some see - and behave towards - a fellow human being in this way?? Just because they happen to be black or brown or of a different religious persuasion?? (ALL religion is a road to nowhere) in my opinion. The former though - in terms of a persons colour - I will NEVRR understand!!
