If they really cared about innocents, they wouldn't play for Australia itself. Didn't have to target the States. Their own backyard was just as guilty and dirty.

In fairness, I can't recall the last time Australia played against the USA in cricket. Would be a very long time ago I suspect.

Don't know why you're being downvoted. You make a good point.
I couldn't understand why a team from this fustercluck country was allowed into Australia last year for the T20 World Cup!

I’m an American who went down a rabbit hole around a year ago learning how cricket was played and how the international game looks today, and the Wikipedia page for cricket in Afghanistan is particularly interesting. Essentially, cricket is such a big part of Afghan culture and their ability to compete internationally is so important that the Taliban would create a lot of problems for themselves if they ever tried to ban the sport.

Mad respect to the Aussies. This is how the world should have reacted to the Qatar World Cup

Congrats on being a parent. I’m a parent too. Why does that make us an authority on something like this?

And the second the USA withdrew, the Taliban simply picked up where it left off.

Taliban weren’t so tough when they still had American boots up their asses.

So if you don't do the right thing at the first possible instance you should just never do the right thing?
Great logic, the world would be an even more awful place if this were to be the prevailing attitude.

You are right.I don’t know her and I don’t know what she has been up to. But, she is a human being and a human being is not perfect. And I am a parent, apparently you are not.🙄🙄

This was the same thought I had. I had no clue Afghanistan still held a cricket team
