I was thinking the same thing, there are several cases where people are jumping on theband wagon, Prince Andrew is a prominent one.
However that should be a sepaate topict, it's not cricket.

"Alex Hales denies racial connotation in naming of his dog"

[I looked at this as I was curious what the name would be: it's "Kevin"! ]

I will name my next dog Taffy do you think anyone will object.

Not if it's a Welsh border collie...

This is ridiculous, "Azeem Rafiq apologises for historical anti-Semitic messages" I suspect as DM wrote he is hoping for some compensation. This is the woke brigade again, banter is nonexistant now, which is probably what it was. Bullying is a different matter and should be dealt with.

Well as long as it's Welsh.... And "Taff" is a little less girly you Muppet....

Not if it's a Welsh border collie...

Needs to be a Corgi or a Corgi Cross ... That said, our "Bob" was a Corgi Cross - I wonder who we've upset with that name!!

It is ridiculousness beyond belief. Jump on the bandwagon with anything - Lassie to be banned (no dark colours in that coat/never rescued an African American.....?) "Caucasians" to Boycott Lloyds Bank (fecking BLACK horse - must be thieving)!!

Thinking of calling my next pet "Stoner" - wonder if "lost" will complain?!!... Only joking blue

What a load of utter boll*cks this lot is.... Thank God my Old Man, Uncle and Grandfather and their generation are not around to see it.

Now Azeem Rafiq is accused of sending "creepy texts" to a teenage girl. He may regret starting this.
But it is from the daily fail.

New 20/20 series starting today 22/01/22. England v the West Indies over the next 8 days. All games starting at 20.00 GMT Lot of new players to be given a chance.

The first game England did not play well, being it is mostly inexperienced new players we can hope for a better result.

We’ll improve they did, but mightily close with England just edging it and winning by one run.

[lindosfan1]

A very close win for England who scored 171 for 8 wickets. The West Indies scored 170 for 8, England won by 1 run.
The West Indies scored 72 runs in their last 5 overs, England managed 55. An exciting finish.

Hey, it's a win - close or not!!

Obviously not related , but see Root has also been awarded "ICC Cricketer of The Year".... Maybe should have been awarded pre-Ashes!!
