Hafeez Banned

I used to love cricket. Played to a reasonable level and watched any team that was playing including local teams

I count many a professional cricketer as a friend and spent time with the likes of tahir, nazir, morkel et al but cricket is so corrupt and imo no longer a sport where skill is tested on the field of play. Haven watched a match in years.

The corruption starts with kids and local teams where a chairmans son gets into the first team despite being chit and players are paid backhanders to keep playing as non professionals.

Wasn't Herbie Singh banned for sometime before he returned with a remedied action?

That was before the big 3 formed its own comitee and before the money boom in India when the ICC had the power. Nowadays any Indian illegal action is ignored.

It won't be long before Ashwin is reported.

There was one legendary comment from Essex captain Doug Insole after he was dismissed by Tony Lock.

He asked the square-leg umpire: Am I bowled or run out?

Lock wouldn't have survived a day of international cricket with the current level of scrutiny.

Doubt it. The bcci wouldn't allow it. Money talks in all aspects of cricket. It's probably the most corrupt sport in the world.

Chuckers. How many more???

Cheats
