hope so one can help
thanks!

List of some non-Asian international cricket teams:
England
Australia
South Africa
Zimbabwe
West Indies

Plus some of my Irish & Scottish friends love cricket more than football. My ethnicity is Pakistani but I like football. Hence, it is not true that a cricket fan is always from India or Pakistan :tongue:

I didn't reply because it is about cricket. I don't even like cricket. I replied because your post was utterly rubbish.

An asian team won counter to the list of "western teams", I was playing to the stereotype, so stop being such an aggressive person when I didn't even start on you.

I don't see a point that why are you telling me this because I don't care who won the cricket match & who didn't win it. I have no interest in cricket. :tongue:

Sorry, if I sound aggressive although I didn't mean to be harsh with you. I simply don't like the stereotype thoughts. But if any of my word have offended you then I take it back.

I thought you said originally you were pakistani and you were saying something about irish people being good at cricket, so I responded saying an asian team won, which went along with my sterotype, and that sterotype isn't always a bad thing as long as it's not offensive.

And yes this is why I love kcl applicants :smile: We solve issues in like 2 minutes :biggrin:

Yeah, I am Pakistani. I said that my Irish friends like cricket but as I am not an expert so I can't comment whether they play good or bad :wink:

I hope that such a trivial issue won't make a dent on our academic relationship :wink:

Nah us men can settle the worst of disputes with a few punches and be good at the end of it, unlike girls or those bitchy boys who will hold a grudge for life and be two faced about it :rofl: If you know what I mean?
