[The 747]

Have to draw a line somewhere or else it becomes a free for all.

I know, imagine players everywhere had symbols on their gear that were not commercial sponsorships. The world might end.

Or just wait until the melts on bigfooty when an opposition player puts something on their bat we disagree with!

 

[troybe]

Hasn’t Marnus got something on his bat? The eagle?

Bible verses ok?

 

[grumbleguts]

It's good, he shouldn't be allowed to do it.

What if a sponsors symbol is a dove?

 

[frankrizzo]

Didnt india wear indian army caps a few years ago in series vs us? considering they have nuclear weapons ready to launch at their enemies how the **** is that not a political statement but a peace symbol is? never mind their cricket team is basically run by the government who then use games/series as thinly veiled political rallies.

 

[danielnajdek]

I for one am glad they said no to Khawaja. Wonder what stunt he’ll pull tomorrow considering he can’t wear a black arm band.

I was going to suggest face tattoo, but that doesn't work if you're batting with a helmet. he should just put a sticker of a dove in the Toyota logo.

 

[The 747]

Usman should just get a betting company to sponsor the dove and then they'd fall over themselves to allow it.

 

[Gough]

Happy Christmas to all except Jonny Bairstow.

 

[Cmarsh]

Another example of a political statement where it was all ok at the time apparently.

Political statements are fine as long as you don't point out a certain country occupying and oppressing a certain people. We couldn't have that. Might upset certain country's little feelings

Because it was obvious lol

As if they were changing the side despite what you Victorians want

 

[eltrain]

Modi and the nationalists in India are strong supporters of Israel. No way a BCCI-controlled ICC would permit any statements that could be construed as showing support for the Palestinian people.

Boland would be un playable on this pitch,we want to see at least 2 or 3 days of cricket.Hopefully Pakistan bowl first and we might get our 2 or 3 days of cricket.

So will Haze, Cummins and Starc who are a mile better.

they could fly him out after the toss, but I guess he would remain in case of a concussion sub for the pace bowlers.
