That was that cancelled Bangladesh tour about... eight or nine years ago?

Didn't always agree with what he wrote or thought about the game but guy was always honest, as close to being non-hypocritical as I have seen anyone in and around cricket and mostly had very interesting and genuine thoughts on the game. Will be missed.

Wishing him the best in his golden years. Stay well Chappelli.

Rene Ferdinands's research helped establish the 15-degree rule that decides whether a bowler's action is legal, but he says the process for finding potentially illegal actions needs to change.

It's an article written by a clown so it's unlikely to be an accurate representation of the good fans of Pakistan.

It's an article written by a clown so it's unlikely to be an accurate representation of the good fans of Pakistan.

To be fair, it also says couple of other Pak fans said "Malinga" and "Herath" when he mentioned Sri Lanka, so I am sure the general Pak fanbase do have good taste.


Its a wonderful story btw. There are times when he does write like a clown, but this is one of the good ones.

Just looked up the Australian future schedule and can't believe Australia will play a whopping 15 Tests in 7 months in 2026/27 season. Who said test cricket is dying

Sep-Oct: 3 Test tour of South Africa

Dec-Jan: 4 Tests v New Zealand (Perth-Adelaide-Melbourne-Sydney)

Jan-Feb: 5 Test tour of India

Mar: 150th anniversary Test v England (MCG). Two Tests v Bangladesh

The Bangladesh tests won't happen. Put a ring around it.

So 13 Tests in 6 months then. Still a lot
