Indigenous Cricket
Should Indigenous people play cricket
Have you watched the Australian Cricket team play, and wondered why there are no Aboriginal Players on it, I have. Well let me tell you its not because they're not good enough.
Australian Cricket was first seen overseas when they travelled to England in 1901. Since then there have only been two Indigenous people too play national cricket Jason 'Dizzy' Gillespie and Faith Thomas.
One Aboriginal player bowled against Don Bradman ( the greatest batsman for Australia), and Don Bradman said that he was one of the fastest bowlers he ever faced. So why don't they get a chance! Its because the selectors at the time were being racist.
So what do you think, should Indigenous people be allowed to play National Cricket
