Re: Cricket

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...

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.
