Agree. Harbhajan racially abused him after he was already warned about doing the same thing in an ODI series in India that preceded that Test series. He then did it again. CA were as weak as ■■■■ to bowl down to those ■■■■■, but if the racism didn’t occur, none of it would ever have happened. Lost a lot of respect for Tendulkar after that. Great batsman but he’s not the holier than thou, butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth, pristine character that everyone likes to make him out to be.
Did Roy really suicide? I thought it was a car crash late at night. Far as I can remember he was doing well happy, married and enjoying the commentary gig plus speaking circuit?
I don’t think there has been any suggestion it was anything other than an accident.

Isn’t that what Wim is implying over the racism stuff?
Look, we’ll close this off with we’ll never know.
But by gosh it’s difficult to accidentally die in a single vehicle accident in today’s cars on todays roads.
Maybe a rabbit ran across the road.
Seemingly, but I don’t think that makes it true, and I don’t think it’s a great suggestion to be making.

Yeah I agree.
Been in a 76 series land cruiser on a dirt road?
‘84.
Absolute shitbox.
But yes.
Pretty sure that’s what he was in (not a dirt road though).
Roll one of those things at 100 and you’re cooked.
Doing well to get an ‘84 to 100…
And even better to stop it once it’s there

Decided to catch up with todays play and reading blitz I’ve no idea what happened.
Symonds installed some solar panels and Marsh is hopeless and Richie is woke.

He acknowledged his white privilege, his cream privilege, his off-white privilege, his beige privilege…

Very good!
Marsh not bowling in this innings is very telling. He has been under an injury cloud this entire series and his batting has not been up to par. If he isn’t able to bowl 10+ overs an innings if required then he needs to make way for someone else, someone who either bat or who can bat and bowl a bit.

180 overs lost to rain or we would’ve wrapped this up already

I go away for a few hours and come back to learn Roy committed suicide. And that Tendulkar is responsible.
You never quite know what to expect.
