I'm quite shocked that a place as prestigious as Wisden would allow such a rant. I think it's a shame he feels like that, and he's most definately a racist, if he is to be judged by today's standards (which i don't agree with, but if someone says that sub-continent players have a tendancy to cheat is a racist then so is he).

Reason i'm shocked is that there is no journalistic value to that page, no worthy story or anecdote or reference to the game other than "i hate all the english" (and he does say english, not just english cricket team). There is no way they'd allow a "I hate all indians" (and i'd never want to see such a piece) article so why should this be any different? ah, i know why...
