Is Darrell Hair Ok to be on the International Panel ?

[social]

He actually has.

Sorry, then he's excused for sledging.

That one test match has obviously tainted him for life

Excuse my ignorance / mental blank, but what did Hookes do to cheat?

I did not say Hookes cheated ..... Infact if not for him we would not have even known how the ACB was covering up the fact that Warne and Mark Waugh was dealing with bookmakers and providing them with Information for cash .... which was infact match fixing. The ACB just hushed the matter up and gave them a slap on the wrist.

No, they took gambling chips from a bloke who then asked them for a weather report for an upcoming game. Anybody with an IQ above 3 would've realised where it would eventually lead and that's where it stopped.

Dumb but not match-fixing.

The ACB, meanwhile, handled the whole thing like the rank amateurs they were.

U've probably forgootten Dennis"I bowl brilliantly on Australian greentops but I just can't take wickets in tough subcontinent conditions"Lillee &
Marsh+,who admitted that had fixed the Old Trafford? test of 1981 Ashes Series which England won even after the follow-on being imposed by Australia.

Oh really ... I guess people will pay THOUSANDS of $$$s for Weather Reports that are freely available to Any One..... Weather Reports were in fact code for match fixing and those two should have been kicked out of the game long time ago.

After all this talk from certain quarters in this thread about the Aussies being demon sledgers & poor sports generally Ali Cook's column in The Telegraph (I don't usually read it, I swear, but it has its Fantasy Football in on Wednesdays...) made interesting reading. Link here:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2006/09/13/sccook13.xml

He says of his time in WA:

"I played grade cricket for a club called Willerton and was surprised – even a bit disappointed – that I didn't get sledged. I had heard plenty of stuff about grade cricket being an absolute free-for-all, but in fact it was pretty quiet."

Give a dog a bad name tho....

and you know that for a fact then do you????


Heres one for you...Wasim and Waqar, Imran etc should have been kicked out of the game for ball tampering....of course its just speculation on my part, but what the hell, who needs evidence

You what?

During Lillee's career Australia had almost no asian tours organised, and missed some of those due to injury.

As for the admitting fixing, you're talking complete codswallop.

 

[grecian]

Oh, Marc. Don't you know saying "I bet on the Headingley match" is in fact code for "I fixed the Old Trafford" match.

Once you know the code, its quite easy to translate

Missing the point again are we ? did the PCB cover up Wasim and Waqar ? As for evidence Warne And Mark Waugh admitted they received $ 5000.00 each in exchange for so called "weather reports" .
