Your really have missed the overriding issue here. A bit like Hassan Ali missing the catch on Thursday!
Banter is banter until it is not. This has nothing to do with cricketing achievements and ability and everything to do with work place racial bullying.
Azim Rafiq is a complainant. He has complained of racism to his employers. The controversy is not just the allegation of racism but the handling of the complaint by the Yorkshire board, there position of the report and it being surpressed, the players and coaches and board members who were protected and the overall poor investigation. Most shockingly, being called P*ki was deemed as banter in a costly professional report commissioned by Yorkshire county cricket club.
This has all led to a public out cry, incidents and statements from Vaughn, Rashid, Rana and Bumble etc and even the prime minister got involved.
There is overwhelming evidence of institutionalised racism by Yorkshire CCC as confirmed by the CEO of ECB himself within the last hour!
What is it you fail to understand here.
If you’re bored Mr Technics, email me and take me out somewhere for chocolate cake and a plate of chips, maybe even a shisha!
So tell me, who what defines banter and the line when it is crossed?
A word i used much earlier on in the thread - subjective.
