[Cricket] LV= County Championship Division One, Nottinghamshire v Sussex at Nottingham, Sep 15-18

Its not a pleasant exchange. You could argue that it was xenophobic rather than racial though. I guess Gale / Yorkshire's stance will (have to) be that it was a comment on the rights and wrongs of his eligibility to qualify as a non-overseas player...

Unless Gale is far more intelligent than he has ever appeared I can't see that argument being very succesful.

Its not about how intelligent he is though - its how intelligent his defence team are. They'll look at what words he actually said, then sit down and think of the least damaging meaning they could possibly ascribe to them, then maintain that was what he meant by it.

But it would have to be beliveable that he meant that

Would it? Or would the onus be on the other side to prove that he didn't?

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Going well today

300 for 4

Joyce on 140no

Although I can't see us bowling them out again on that wicket, unless it's deteriorated significantly, and/or our lightweight secondary bowling attack comes up with an extraordinary and unexpected performance.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Joyce goes for 149

Luke Wells moves on to 70 N.O. from 57 balls!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Wells goes for 79 off 62 balls

Has there been a better batsman than Ed Joyce in CC this year. He's on for 1500 runs - 8 tons. If he was five years younger he'd be going on the next England tour.

Don't let Joyce hear you say that...

Doesn't he play for Ireland?

 

[Eeyore]

Doesn't he play for Ireland?

He's played for both England and Ireland in the shorter format.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Notts one down.

Hales gone to the Goff.

That'll be it though.

Yorkshire have history with Kolpak players, insofar as they are not well disposed towards them. This isn't a race issue, if more reputable news sources are to be believed, and Prince himself appears not to have made a complaint.
