The author, a keen recreational cricketer and educationalist, reflects on the nature of racism and commitment to anti-racism in the game in England, where, recently, Ollie Robinson was penalised for historical tweets on social media. Through interviews with key players from ethnic minorities about their experiences, he concludes that the culture of cricket and the colour of its selection bear the hallmarks of an upper-class, public school-inculcated privilege and profound racism, more serious than Robinson’s offensive tweets.

板球“适合所有人”吗？对 2021 年奥利·罗宾逊丑闻的反思

作者是一位热衷于娱乐的板球运动员和教育家，他反思了英格兰比赛中种族主义的本质和对反种族主义的承诺，最近，奥利·罗宾逊因在社交媒体上发布历史推文而受到处罚。通过对少数族裔主要球员的经历采访，他得出结论，板球文化及其选择的颜色带有上流社会、公立学校灌输的特权和深刻的种族主义的标志，比罗宾逊的攻击性推文更严重。
