Nope.
Defamation doesn’t work like that. You can’t just say “sorry I published what I thought you said”.....
He’have to offer a public apology. Even then I think he’s in real trouble.
I’d give some real thought to suing him.
BCCI might not have shit to say if the people involved sue Siraj for defamation....if he’s yelled racist and there is no evidence of it he might be in some shit......
To be fair big backs have often made the transition to the pack....Carroll, Wiki, Lawrence, Luke Lewis etc....perhaps often might be overstating it....perhaps “not uncommon” might be a better way to express it...
My concern is Oates defence....but he might do better with blokes coming directly...
Sorry now your argument is really confused...
Lodge committed a serious violent offence - he’s have probably been jailed for it here....
when Bennett gave him a crack what had he done to prove he had changed his ways...
By contrast what terrible offence had Pearce committed to suggest he was...
I’m not weaselling my way out of anything....your defending Bennett signing a person who committed a serious violent crime but seems less keen on someone who had not committed a crime....
Your argument is odd to say the least...
You can’t reason from result to premise.
Apart from one incident with the dog; what had Pearce done at the time Bennett rejected him?
What Lodge did was much more serious and the fact that he was 20 doesn’t make one iota of difference.
Lodge did more than make a serious mistake; way to minimise a serious violent crime.
You have no idea what Pearce would have done had he come here.
What we do know is that Bennett was entirely inconsistent....one player commits a serious violent offence; no probs....one player does something...
Letter back to BCCI.

1. Your team will be deported at 5pm today;
2...
No. How many runs did he score last tour here...he’s a good player in form bashing up on nobody attacks.....ps how many catches did the Pakis drop on tour
