Listening to tailenders talking about the Afghanistan mens cricket team who are doing so well in the world cup and then they mention how the women's team all had to flee to Australia and how women caught playing cricket are given the death penalty and literally burst into tears because how, how, how can the sport that took such a principled stand in the 80s over apartheid do nothing? How is it that there's this 'well if we take a stand we give the Taliban what they want and they'll ban cricket entirely' attitude when obviously they are fine with the men's team getting lauded and potentially winning a fucking world cup meanwhile women are girls are literally told they will be murdered if they play? Like the icc should be withdrawing all money, no one should be playing, by their own fucking rules you have to have a woman's team to be a full nation, but no, it doesn't matter.
