Cyril Christiani was 18 when he toured England with the 1933 West Indies. He did not play a Test but played all four matches v MCC in 1934-35 when he became their first-choice keeper. He died of malaria in April 1938 aged only 24

We will never be free while people are still defending rich people for “earning” their money while the poors go hungry and struggling for shelter.

I truly hate non empathetic and lacking common sense humans

Literally sending DHS after people for speech
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MARCH 9, 2025 PRESS CONTACT: DEFENSEPRESS@PROTON.ME Columbia University Student Activist Detained by Department of Homeland Security Following Threats of Deportation of Pro-Palestinian Students The arrest comes on the heels of the Department of State's announcement that it plans to deport students affiliated with pro-Palestine protests. The student, who is Palestinian, is a lawful permanent resident of the United States. NEW YORK, NEW YORK-On March 8, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and recent graduate student at Columbia University, at his place of residence, an apartment building owned by the university. The DHS agents said that the U.S. Department of State had revoked Khalil's green card. At approximately 8:30 p.m. ET, Khalil and his wife, a U.S. citizen who is eight months pregnant, had just unlocked the door to their building when two plainclothes DHS agents forced their way in behind them. The agents initially refused to identify themselves, instead asking Khalil to confirm his identity before detaining him without explanation. The agents proceeded to threaten his wife, telling her that if she remained by his side, they would arrest her too. Later, the DHS agents stated that the U.S. Department of State had revoked Khalil's student visa, despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident.
