    cricket scandals

    It just gets very bad for Pakistan and I really feel for Pakistani fans. But, perhaps now, at the bottom, the only way is up? or will there be more sordid details in the gutter press.

    cricket scandals

    I didn't even talk about the Bob Woolmer scandal (which at the time left me feeling very sad) or the questions over Cronje's death. (I think it was an accident, but others go down the rabbits hole. ) It's all a bit too much really. Fans expectations are to see a fair game. It could be good, it...

    Where to now for Pakistan?

    How are they gping to get the money to put their house in order if they cant play cricket. I agree, they have had a lot of chances.But banning them serves noones interest. The secruity argument is a mute point.
