From general people or the participating families?

Just general people for us running a program that was aimed at Indian kids.. then it was that the program was "free" whilst "white kids" have to pay.

Discriminating against "aussie" kids.

FMD it's a 4 week introductory program, and we have ran several free programs the last few years to all. :roll:

These people from what i can gather have no affiliation to cricket anywhere though, must've just seen the post somewhere and got on their high horse.

For the record.. SACA have done these for a couple of years - we are just the ground being used - and they are covering Afghanistan, Africa, China, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Latin America, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Indoor, Inclusive Cricket (Deaf, blind, ID).

Also as a club we are running the Growing for Gold program through local council in a few weeks - that's free. :roll:

I'll get the secretary and sponsorship coordinator onto it ASAP - given they live together I'm sure one of them can sort it :lol:

The amount of abuse I received last night from people with no cricket affiliation or background because we were hosting an "Indian centre" was unbelievable!

They just didn't get the concept of what was happening or how broad the program was.

"I'm not racist but... " :evil:


I saw you share this on facebook and my immediate thought was which **** is going to be the first to say what about white people.

It pisses me off to no end that people get so butt hurt about it.

Great work mate and I hope you not only help more people get involved in cricket but your clubs gets rewarded in the long run. Love it.

The suicide bomber in Kabul.

What happened to a peaceful take over? What happened to the 31st deadline?

Does this ground fleet want the US to just come in and reduce the whole place to rubble?

Yeah dangerous times over there. Has a feel of ISIS somewhat undermining the Taliban. The only way the Taliban lose power is if Americans die and as you said they turn the whole place to rubble.

Could we see a major conflict between ISIS and the Taliban. At a guess ISIS would somewhat back themselves to defeat the Taliban a lot more than they could of defeated the US.

They'll end up joining forces along with the al qaeda and think they'll defeat the armed forces.

Just leave the shithole & let them sort themselves out, it's been going on for years.
The Taliban now has all those weapons that the yanks left behind, surely they can fight ISIS better now.

I'm hearing it was al-qaeda that done the bombing, there were Taliban casualties too.

Surely the US could ask for their weapons back? They brought them after all.

Biden can't win on this, if he doesn't send troops back to eliminate these people that did this, he will look weak, the yanks will lynch him.

Islam has had hostile factions since their prophet Mohammed died:
Sunni lead by one of his generals who stepped up to lead the cause - the majority.
Shia who believed that his nephew Ali should have succeeded him and that that general who led the Sunni was a usurper.
Druse who split off from the Shia a thousand years ago and believed their leader Al-Hakin was an incarnation of Allah (God).
There is another sect who believe Shaitan (Satan) was reconciled with Allah (God) and should now be acknowledged as an angel.

Going back in would be as futile as getting involved 20 years ago was.
The Russians couldn't win. So why did the yanks think they could?!
