And this player is Steve Davies the English cricketer who was a suprising omission from the world cup when he was dropped after the first ODI against Australia this summer. He let his team mates and officials know before they departed for the Australian tour.

(can't post link to due being on phone)

Not a big deal but I do wonder if the suprise sacking came from the players more so than the selectors?

He wouldn't have been dropped just because his team mates like Bats above Balls surely.

It was only a few years ago when there were cricketers who were embarrassed to say they were English! Damn our Ashes loss!

Wouldn't think so, Jimmy Anderson came out awhile ago (no pun intended) in support of any gay cricketers.

Good on him.

Sad day in society when people are still judged on what rocks their boat.

Alrighty lads, Im sure the jokes were all meant harmlessly, but to keep the topic palatable to all they've now been removed .. Lets try to keep the discussion as sensible as possible and in a manner least likely to cause offence to anyone.
Cheers,

That's it Booney. Doesn't change the fact that he was good enough to be picked for England.
