Re: Cricket
And there are people who say that Amir, who helped Pakistan get over the finish line should not be allowed inside a cricket ground anywhere in the world.

Re: Cricket
Difficult one, he was quite young at the time and was obviously badly influenced by Salman Butt etc. On the other hand a total, lifetime ban from all forms of cricket could be a major deterrent to others.

Re: Cricket
Wow, Bairstow very lucky there, if that had been Roy the chances are the umpire would have given him out and he would have been on review.

Re: Cricket
Ah, , the Pakistan effect. They're either crap or brilliant. They save brilliant for England....
Bit pathetic for England to blame the pitch...

Apparently the competition rules insist that the same pitches are used throughout the competition.
Still a very lame performance, well beaten by the better side on the day.

Re: Cricket
Well played Pakistan, they were brilliant and deserved winners. There are estimates of up to a billion watching that little match in London today.
