Bumble been given the chance to retire from sky  instead of being sacked. 

Why what has he done ? 

[Remmie]

I'd rather not know what he's done, as I like Bumble! 

 

Therefore I am going to speculate that it's some dodgy comments about the Rafiq/Yorkshire news story.

Said getting subs out of Asian players is like getting blood out of a stone. 
 

Then when he thought he was talking off the record to a friendly journalist went on a p*ki rant.

As Rem said it’s a gutter as I loved bumble.

If Sky won't have him there is zero chance the BBC will.

 

Noticed Vaughan back commentating on the Big Bash yesterday though.

That’s not the BBC though is it? 
 

I know he’s working on Aussie commentary for the ashes but BT won’t use the sections of play he’s working on for their coverage.

No, I know, mate. Sorry, they were two separate points.

 

BT won't re Vaughan, but Sky are.

Phil Salt named in the Windies T20 squad. I'd like to see him, as he's an aggressive batter (and yet another wicket-keeper). Shame he's left Sussex and gone to Lancashire, though.

[sir roger]

He'll get peppered in the Caribbean.

 

Salt and Livingstone will be an interesting combo in the shorter forms for Lanky.

Show me the link for that please. The story I read was that he said getting subs out of asian players was like getting blood out of a stone. He then continued by saying they were not the best members because they didnt mix in. Hardly a reason to cancel him if it was avtrue statement about club subs.

By making the statement about ‘Asian’ players it was racist. That’s why he apologised. 
 

And he’s stood down himself so hardly cancelled.

So , a couple of questions if the statement was a) true or b) the word Asian was replaced with Kiwi/ Aussie/ Scotsman would the outcry have happened?

If you think he stepped down of his own accord then dont forget to leave the pie and milk out for santa.

If you can’t see it’s racist that’s your problem not mine. 
 

And how many others have been given the opportunity to save face and stand down before being sacked?

No. 
 

This is the second time you’ve commented on this and both times you’ve refused to accept it’s racist.
