Who’s Batting for Britain?

Synopsis

Looks at culture and identity from a black perspective. Norman Tebbit’s criticism in 1990 of British Asians for supporting Indian and Pakistani Test cricket teams provoked a storm of protest from Britain’s black communities and raised questions about what being British really means - for many blacks it means racism and bigotry.
