Usman Khawaja joins Australian cricket team

[hammyy2k]

is he not the first 'non white' and south asian aussie to get a test cap???

 

[greatsequence]

He scored a couple on the first ball and a gorgeous pull on the second and a really good leave on the third. In the next month Australia will have the problem of selecting the right batsmen. Cant exclude ponting and clark as they are captains hussey is in good form and khwaja showed his worth.

Some one has to take very bold decisions.

Not the first non white. We had Andrew Symonds. I remember the Indian cricket fans screaming racist taunts at him like "monkey" during a match in India.

 

[Farooq]

Because he is Australian...........

He was born in Pakistan

I hope this guy become a great player and make the aussies proud.

He was born in Pakistan

His family moved to Australia when he was 3. He is now 24.

In any case, its good to have Pakistan and Muslims mentioned in the news in a positive context, don't you think?


In any case, this kid is now under so much pressure. So much expectations from him to perform...

How would you feel then?
A Pakistani born smashing his own nation.

this thread shows a problem that lies in australia with people(or person)the fact that people get offended or disagree if a person represents australia if its not there heritage.
