Re: Pakistan commissioner believes trio were "set-up" "The International Cricket Council has suspended Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif, the three players implicated in the Lord's spot-fixing scandal, under the provisions of the Anti-Corruption Code." Source: cricinfo

Re: Arrest over Pakistan-England cricket 'betting scam' Hmm... I suppose Haider does indeed deserve a chance of being the first-choice keeper after showing great fight and character in his solitary test match. His keeping was slightly faulty to the spinners, but he looked a lot safer than Akmal...

Re: No UDRS for India Australia series. It's a shame how the BCCI are so reluctant to using this system - I think the UDRS has been a brilliant inclusion in the modern game, but obviously the Indians have another way of looking at things.

Re: Arrest over Pakistan-England cricket 'betting scam' Well Afridi will be the captain of the limited overs side - but I reckon Kamran Akmal might take over as test captain (given that he was vice-captain ?)

Re: Arrest over Pakistan-England cricket 'betting scam' Yep heard they might be hanged for the charges of treason. I seriously feel for the chaps, you can see that their community is completely unorganized.

Re: Arrest over Pakistan-England cricket 'betting scam' Butt, Aamir and Asif handed suspensions apparently.

Re: matches that might've been fixed The only confirmed fixed matches in the recent past so far are: Sydney test - the fixers made 1.3 million £ from that match (NOTW report) Asia Cup match - Pak vs. Sri Lanka - fixers made 850'000 £ (Again News of The World report) Both of these fixes have...

Re: Arrest over Pakistan-England cricket 'betting scam' Some interesting things I found on a Pakistani cricket forum (namely, pakpassion.net). - Afridi quit test cricket because he supposedly 'knew' about all this, and didn't want to have anything to do with it. In fact, the fixer called...

Re: Arrest over Pakistan-England cricket 'betting scam' This is absolutely massive and disgraceful for the game. All these people should be banned for life by the ICC, knowing that the PCB are not competent enough to take such a bold decision.

Re: king_of_slaves's blog. Lost the second game against Liverpool today. It was a T20 and we got them all out for 111. I took 4 wickets giving away only 14 runs in my 4 overs. But then our opening batsmen went out to play the match as if it were a test match. (One of them scored 6 off 10...

Re: king_of_slaves's blog. Alright then - We won the first of two matches on a very hot day. 3 of the Liverpool players fainted due to the heat. Back to the cricket, it was a magnificent close match. We scored 220-4 from our alloted 40 overs, I scored 50* from 30 odd balls (3 fours, 4 sixes...

Re: king_of_slaves's blog. Thanks MC, Liz... Good to see some old faces again :) My next matches are against the youth side of Liverpool CC visiting us for a short two match series. We've developped a great small rivalry with them over the last two years, losing to them in Liverpool in May...

Re: king_of_slaves's blog. Wow... it's been nearly two years since I last updated this. Anyways a lot has changed in the last two years, I've gone from representing Switzerland in just the U17s to U19s and also have a solitary outing with the Swiss adult team to my name (which came against...

Re: IPL 3 Auction list I'd love to Rizwan Cheema get a contract... that guy's a beast.

Re: Pakistan in New Zealand It was an awesome match though. Goes on to show that Test cricket is very much alive even in this T20 era. If anything I would've liked to see Pakistan take their catches more often (especially Imran Farhat!). Other than that, it was great to see Bondy back into...

Re: Bat Sticker Gray Nicolls Fusion Bat Sticker - Price: 10$ Hope this helps, I'm not really sure whether this site is reliable or not, but its the only one that seems to have the sticker you need in the budget you have.

Re: Your Test World XI? Well the theory that the best batsman should bat at number 3 is just one of the stupid cricket stereotypes I don't agree with. Nobody doubts KP's skill, but he also has to feel comfortable with what he's doing. In that regard, I'd agree with King Pieterson. However I...

Re: Your Test World XI? Ok here's mine. Now, now, I don't mind people commenting on my team, but saying whether it is right or wrong isn't for you guys to decide. This thread involves peoples' opinions and I guess they should be entitled to have one without everybody going "Oh but you're...

Re: Two Sri Lanka cricketers wounded in Pakistan shooting This was also Younis Khan's first test series as captain, and Jayawardane's last. Both wanted to leave with a bang, they did, just not the kind of bang they were expecting or hoping for. It's really sad to see a cricket team targetted...
