WTF was she thinking? Agree she's got to be taken off air, wtf would happen had any of the white male Aust commentators said that

The way she casually dropped the comment seemingly out of no where makes me think it’s probably an inside joke.

I'm sorry but a racist comment to someone of the same background shouldn't really count. Telling people it's wrong to say should be enough

Odd choice of word. But in full context she is lumping praise on Bumrah. I'm happy enough with the apology but If they stand her down so be it.

I think of the extreme examples (e.g. Dean Jones calling Hasim Amla a terrorist). By comparison I don't think it's a sackable offence.

“Bumrah, today: five overs, 2-4. So, that’s the tone, and that’s what you want from the ex-skipper," Lee said.

In response, Guha said:

“Well, he’s the MVP, isn’t he? Most valuable primate, Jasprit Bumrah," she added.

I didn't hear it live but only just read the comment and my first instinct would be to ask "did she intend to offend?" or was she describing his physical attributes ?

otherwise for me it's like a careless tackle, not a send off offense but still a penalty, you just can't say that

All out 445

Game will be a draw, nothing surer...

not sure, even Head was playing and missing late yesterday and so were most batsmen

I cant see us losing from here, so draw or Aussie win and India will have to bat last so over to the Boat to bring us home, if he's good enough

So what was the point of those 15 overs batting

We scored 40 runs.

Seems like we wasted some time.

All good batting again just get on with it though.
