Ganguly going out first round is basically a crime against humanity, but Harbhajan takes this one.

May as well wrap this one now in light of Bhajji's lead - although it was 6-6 at one stage while Australians were asleep. 
Results - Round 1, Battle 8
Jesse Ryder - 0
Geoff Boycott - 7
Harbhajan Singh - 12
Next battle up soon.

Disappointed; I was looking forward to a clever pun to end the battle on. Something like 'Harbhajan ma-ki-ing it to the next round'

Yeah, Boycs has been robbed here. Harbhajan a common or garden tool but Sir Geoffrey is genuinely borderline sociopathic.
One Essex supporter, now working for the BBC, recounts a tale of asking Boycott for his autograph as a young lad in the early 70s when Boycs was playing at Chelmsford. Initially Boycott refused but then said if he and his mates washed his car he'd sign later.
You can guess what happened already, can't you? The young fella and his chums dutifully washed the motor and stood waiting politely by it with their autograph books ready. Boycott got in and drove off; no word of thanks, no signatures. To use kids like that is really rotten stuff, IMHO.
Complete ****, tbh.

Round 1, Battle 9
One of the groups of death.
Btw, any dirt I've missed out on is more than welcome for mention - winners of each battle will have additional suggestions included in their Round of 16 CV.
Shane Warne (Australia)
Crimes (heavily summarized):
- Victorian
- Raiding his mum's medicine cabinet
- *** scandals, *** scandals everywhere
- Flogging pitch/weather information to John the Bookie
- Can't bowl, can't throw, and ensuing hospital pass to Joe the Cameraman
- Relentless ***ual harassment of a woman on a South Africa tour
- His best send-off
- Actively undermining John Buchanan and the Test side in the process
- Smoking-gate
- Expelled from the Australian Centre for Excellence for being an obstinately fat ****
- Dropping the Ashes (2:09)
- Dropping Damien Fleming's second hat-trick (3:08)
- Worst ball of the current century
- Threatening a comeback every Ashes series
- Most profligate rent-a-quote in world cricket
"I have had 13 unauthorised biographies done in my life and the first one I read was completely wrong." - Warne declines to comment on the other 12
"He can't keep his mouth shut because he wants to keep making these comments. He must be a miserable man in his life." - Muttiah Muralitharan
"You loser, you sent the message to the wrong person." - Simone Warne after getting a saucy text intended for anyone but Simone Warne
"I can categorically state that Shane did not say anything inappropriate about my mother." - Ronnie Irani breaks Warnie's then-12-year streak in FC games
"How horny...I am like a dog on heat..." - Excerpt from a video of a threesome starring Warne
Sunil Gavaskar (India)
Crimes:
- Abrasive captain, bloke, commentator
- Walking off the field and dragging his partner with him after being given out, while captain
- And you thought Kallis was selfish - scoring 36* (174) in the 1975 World Cup opener
- Demanding Kapil Dev be dropped because of 'reckless cricket' in 1984 and refusing to play at Eden Gardens for fear of being booed
- Commentary ranked beneath Navjot Sidhu and Arun Lal
- Ruthless advocate for rule changes that encourage FTBs
"I can't forget the time he once told a team meeting - 'The day I stop thinking of money, I will stagnate.'" - Bishen Bedi
“I would also like to suggest that there should be no water for bowlers at the boundary end.” - Gavaskar on the ban on runners for batsmen
"Millions of Indians want to know if it [match referee Mike Procter's verdict against Harbhajan Singh] was a 'white man' taking the 'white man's' word against that of the 'brown man'. Quite simply, if there was no audio evidence, nor did the officials hear anything, then the charge did not stand." - Sunil Gavaskar, while an employee of the ICC
Glenn McGrath (Australia)
Crimes:
- Worse sledger - albeit less creative - than Warne
- The Sarwan affair as extracted from the Robelinda archives
- Racist abuse of Jayasuriya
- Not watching where he's ****ing walking
- Only one correct prediction of an Ashes scoreline (2006/07)
"That Glenn McGrath ... what a bastard." - Mick Jagger
"If you ever ****ing talk about my wife again I'll ****ing rip your ****ing throat out." - McGrath
"He wasn't one of the happiest guys. He always moaned and whinged. If he wasn't getting wickets and the batsmen were hitting him for a few fours, he got a bit personal and upset." - Rudi Koertzen
"Why are you so ****ing fat?"..."Because every time I **** your wife she gives me a biscuit." - Eddo Brandes' retort to a McGrath stock sledge

I have to say my favourite part of the research is reading robelinda's titles of his videos. Quality summaries.
