Coach Justin Langer later acknowledged the team had erred by not discussing the issue at greater length.Jones is a CA director, co-chair of the game's National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cricket Advisory Committee and, with her West Indian heritage, one of few senior figures of colour in the game. She put it thus: "They got a little bit of a wake-up call in a sense, and they've reacted really well.
, a rite started last season and which some in the game feel may be a more relevant gesture in Australia. At a time when vulnerability is embraced in elite sport, players are being encouraged that it is OK to feel unsure about an issue wider Australia struggles to deal with. Lalor, one of few Indigenous men who has represented NSW at first-class level, is open to the idea if others are too, but is unsure what he would do.
"It's a touchy space for a lot of people. People will be at different phases on their journey with things like this, and I get that," Jones says. "I know they haven't dropped the ball. What I would like people to do is completely different to what they're ready to be able to do and want to do as well.
wutube NO, the founders of black lives matter has a criminal record and they openly admitted they support Marxism/ communists & they hate white people & police, they rioting, violence in cities. To bend the knee to blm they see as a sign of weakness & will use it as a excuse to blame.
wutube Fuck that
wutube Just stick to playing cricket and ignore these leftist radicals.
wutube which the Wallabies have not done.
wutube No. Just focus on playing the game.
wutube Maybe they should take a knee for the colonisers? 😂 honestly this is fkn stupid
wutube Politics and sport should never mix
wutube Absolutely not. Keep the politics out (especially hard left terrorist groups)
wutube It's not necessary, all lives matter and that's what we should be concerned about. What does this achieve? Absolutely nothing. Let's all be kind to one another and not segregate
wutube There is absolutely no reason to be angry about people demonstrating in support of black lives unless you are a racist. That’s it.
wutube CricketAus By all means combat racism in a real and constructive way, but if you take the knee to BLM you will lose the support of the Australian public and only serve to show your political naïveté.
wutube They should do it, it will save me a lot of time and money from watching cricket. I don't why sports think they are so righteous. I watch sport to get away from politics not to get a lecture from some high paid privileged person. I just want a beer, a bet, and some sport.
wutube I want to see more representation of black players in the indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi teams. They are so racist.
wutube Why the hell would they take the knee? Get this American garbage out of Australia.
wutube So cricket Australia support far left rioting marxist who want to defund police. Be prepared to lose the last few fans you have left.
wutube Who doesn't love an empty gesture that will change nothing.
wutube Absolutely ridiculous. BLM is a Marxist movement and caused so many black deaths in the USA. Sport should never be involved in politics.
wutube FFS leave it up to the individual.
wutube Whoever wants to kneel ....let them!!
wutube Why should they even get involved? BLM is a reverse racist vigilante group and anyone who aligns themselves with it are asking for backlash.....from pissed off whites.....cricket is already withering on the vine....this stupid decision could and should sink the ship.
wutube The description of cricket as a white privileged sport has nothing to do with having any black players or administrators. It’s to do with mainly white privileged people being able to spare 5 days to play/watch a game in the west... less-privileged people have to go to work.
wutube Leave it up to the individuals to decide
