I dont know if he was talking abour racism here. When he said "the
umpires wont pull up watson" the camera was pointing at Aleem Dar and
not Bowden.

Not sure he said that, but he was implying that Watson would get away with
it when he complained about how subcontinental players are treated unfairly.
<quote>
When he said "non sub continent" he also meant West Indies, South
Africa and Zimbabwe. So it can't be an allegation of racism here.

Typically, people of subcontinental origin consider themselves and are
considered a separate race from blacks and whites (who make up most of WI,
SA and Zim teams).
