While several cricketers have faced racist remarks from spectators and opposition players, many also have suffered racism in the team’s atmosphere. Former South African wrist-spinner Paul Adams recently revealed one such dreadful story. I was called brown s*** when I was playing. It often used to be a song when we won a game and we were in fines’ meetings. They would sing, ‘brown s*** in the ring, tra la la la laa,' Adams said.
