OT Should England play Afghanistan

[Geoff Parkstone]

Or should we boycott the match in protest against the Taliban treatment of women cricketers?

A week ago I would have said absolutely not. But now we have lost to Australia and look to be struggling to get out of the group, maybe we can be pragmatic and say yes. Except it would give Afghanistan a greater chance of progress themselves.

Ah, feckit, who cares about women's cricket anyway.

Philistine!

Philistine!

Are we playing them too?

I don't think the foreign office would advise the players to go to Gaza

Indeed, the crazy Geordie would have them all ratarsed

Yes Afghanistan is so much safer

We’re playing them in Pakistan, Sith.

[MadAmster]

The game is planned for Pakistan and it seems that the cricket is about the only thing this little band of Afghan women have in their lives. It would be churlish to deny them this opportunity.

At 30-2 chasing 326 the time is maybe ripe for some moral outrage.
