Eng v Pakistan test series (Page 11 of 11)

Dear oh dear, you lot won't let go will you. 

This story about Le Cluse's death is different to some as the BBC and other media outlets first trumpeted it was suicide when the news broke at the weekend; but now the BBC are stating, "The circumstances of his death are being treated as unexplained. Inquiries are ongoing." On occasions, it is the other way around eg. Bob Woolmer and Dr David Kelly.

Be afraid, be very afraid, the London streets are awash with Asian betting syndicate hitmen!  Probably why Europe has been on high terrorist alert.

All one can say is... "Watch out South Africa!"

Interesting to see how the appeal against the Butt, Amir and Asif bans prevail at the end of this month. More interesting is the ongoing separate criminal investigation by 'Scotland Yard'. I wonder what their conclusions will be?

I would love to believe this is the start of clearing up Pakistan cricket corruption; but sadly, I see few changes. Signing a new code of conduct is meaningless if the attitude of the players doesn't alter. And when there is so much money to be made via the gambling syndicates, greed and an avaricious mentality will prevail. Pakistan is simply too corrupt, too poor and too unstable politically to change.

Shouldn't happen:

Shahid Afridi to de Villiers, OUT, This could be out, the third umpire called to check on a stumping appeal. Lovely bit of flight and turn from Afridi, who lands it on middle and off and snakes it past AB's uncertain prod outside off. The replay suggests not out. Wait a minute, the third umpire has said "Out"! Controversial stuff here, he seemed atleast two inches in when the bails came off. Smith in the dressing room throws his hands out and looks absolutely annoyed. Well, well! We need to look at that again, and maybe the 3rd umpire, Zameer Haider, needs to as well! The decision stays, AB is gone. Well, we have seen replays and that is a howler from the 3rd ump. AB's backfoot did come out, but he was well in when the bails came off. Even Fawad Alam, who was walking past AB as he headed back looked surprised with the call. AB just shrugged, looking clueless as he kept walking. Bizarre.
