Rather, it will be down to those that love the game, and wish to see it prosper into the future, to make gender-neutral terms commonplace."Cricket is a sport for everyone and this is a small but big move."
In all likelihood Mr Heffer won't be attending any baseball games involving the soon-to-be-renamed Cleveland Indians, who announced earlier this year they would change their identity to the Cleveland Guardians after decades of controversy. And it's only been in recent years that cricket has stopped referring to left-arm wrist spin bowlers as "Chinaman", a term that dates back to the 1930s.
Ffs its effing ridiculous, the world, universe, planet has gone, barny, nuts, out of this place called earth.....or is called something else now ? Get a life, worse things happening than to focus on trivia like that.
Christ, worlds gone soft.
It's all just batty! There are more important things in the world than pandering to 0.01% of the population!
Tell Piers to keep us informed of his new show on the Murdoch news network. I can't wait to avoid it! piersmorgan
What are we renaming a “maiden over”?, “gender neutral over”?
Shouldn't we first try fixing women's safety issues and promoting women's education in underdeveloped countries etc before doing shit like this?
i bet Adam West is laughing his arse off ha ha
More box ticking
Where will it end
Tabloid journalists, creating a pathetic outrage over something petty. The sheer state of people. Like how Piers screams about Meghan Markle compared to Prince Andrew. Failing journalists.
Not important to most of us
God forbid that someone gets identified as the gender they were born as. It’s concerning that Australia may not have anyone with enough testosterone left to turn the steering wheel on the new subs when they finally arrive
WoMAN, gentleMAN, huMAN, the word batsMAN is a gender neutral word 🤷
The ICC are a pathetic, woke organisation!
Worlds gone absolutely bananas
It’s not so much this 1 thing but a culmination of many things that makes people exhausted. It’s all bollocks. Does it really matter to any woman that things have men or man in their wording. Pc gone mad
Its some words in a book that don't affect how the game is played at all. People will continue to use whatever word they prefer line they do with googly/wrong un
Its not actually important
It’s not an important change, it’s a woke change.
Yeah things like this are so important when there's nothing else going on in the world. I think someone is sitting in a room somewhere pissing themselves and thinking of something else to change.
Batman and Batwoman 👍🏻
Piers Morgan led the outrage against Arsene Wenger and you all know that happened to Arsenal after .
And how long will it be before you want the Man taken out of the word, WOMAN OR WOMEN
Its not important it's more virtue signalling crap. A batsman's a batsman a batswomen is a batswomen
This is absolutely pathetic. Why pander to the pc brigade who should crawl back under the stone they emerged from. In the words of a sane man piersmorgan “The Worlds Gone Mad”. I rest my case
Cricket is shit anyway
Wait til he hears about “bowlers”
He's 100% right.
The MCC are in charge the laws not the ICC & have only amended the term ‘batters’. The game is not a mixed game so what’s the problem with gender specific terms rather than the ‘land of grey’ of ‘gender neutral’ and to compare this to racist biscuits is utterly ridiculous. Fools
Do other sports use gender to describe a participant bar cricket? Footballers, goalkeeper, striker, caddy etc.
If the women want to call themselves batters that’s fine but don’t impose the PC bullshit on the men. Next Superman will be SuperIt and Wonder Woman will be Wonder Tit. The bullshit never ends from the PC brigade. Cricket overit cricketnation
What these birds trying to change now!?!? They can’t play at the best of times, how about men’s team play a girls team for the right to keep the name? Let’s make it fair, the birds team can have 5 more players…. Will still lose as you just aint good enough..
Batswomen
we need to name the person or organisation that come out with this infantile PC bile, its like living in a kindergarten, whos behind this insanity?
Joke
But Piers is right you clowns.
It’s batsman end of.
In baseball and softball, it's 'batter'.
What a surprise that this spanker is outraged. It’s a total non-issue for most people, who’ll continue to enjoy the game as they always have. Now it might just seem a little more inclusive for females. Oh the humanity !!
Just leave it alone and move on.
