If they seriously tried that **** they should have faced some of the most severe penalties imaginable. I cannot think of anything more selfish, myopic and destructive not just to subcontinental cricket, but cricket as a whole, not to mention one of the most important diplomatic relationships in the world.

Appalled. Hope it's just a beat-up. Or an April Fools' Joke.

You had to give it away, didn't you?

April Fool I have already been made April fool once, so not falling for another.

TBH it did kind of say it in the article.

Pretty lame joke if so... meh.

Are there any April fools jokes on Cricinfo? I remember one a long time back (late 90's) which said that through some kind of statistical adjustment, Bradman's average was 100 after all. I remember getting really excited for a few moments before I realized it was a joke. Anyone remember that and is the piece still up on their website somewhere?

Actually that wasn't an April Fools piece, unless you're refering to something else:
The Don's Test average could really be 100 - Sport - BrisbaneTimes
and
99.94 or 100? - Cricket - Sport - theage.com.au

Wasn't there one a few years back about a guy who could bowl 160+ off only 2 steps being found in the deserts of Namibia?

EDIT: found it

At least Spark only got rumbled once

Not an April Fool but a prank nonetheless, remember The_Sean's post that Bradman was 8th in the CW 50 followed by multiple posts by the likes of SS and Pratters bemoaning the farce of it! Classic

Oh I remember reading that before I joined. That was hilarious even not knowing the folks involved. Exploiting the underlining of the member name in the post header, very clever.

Cevno's posts in here must be an April Fool?
