Inzy found not guilty and also guilty

The charges of ball-tampering against Inzamam Ul Haq were today repudiated as ICC “judge” Sanjan Madugalle decided there was insufficient evidence to uphold the charge. However, he did find Inzy guilty of bringing the game into disrepute after twice refusing to bring his players out to the field. For this offence, he was banned for […]

“Pom” is OK. Dirty pommy scum is not.

In the wake of the inquest into racism in the game, it’s been announced that calling English players “poms” in the Ashes will be OK. Should Australian supporters (or players, for that matter) take it any further, then it won’t be OK. Quite what that means, I’m not sure. But it does occur to me, […]

India ruffle the feathers

Ahead of the The Ovalgate [s]Trial[/s] inquest that gets underway tomorrow, India have chipped in to muck things up a bit further, by requesting that Darrell Hair, the umpire at the center of the scandal, does not officiate at any matches in the forthcoming ICC Champions Trophy.

That seems bloody useless, then

ECBTv has been up and running for a little while now, and seeing as a lot of people come to this site to find out how to view cricket on their PC, I did a little more research. The first thing that struck me, is that the ECBTv website is out of date - it’s […]

Essex claim Pro-40 title

Essex were yesterday crowned Pro-40 champions for the second year in a row. (Sort of, as last year it was the Totesport national league, but it’s essentially the same competition, which Essex won last year.) The result was slightly ironic - as they got stuffed by bottom of division Durham, who will now be relegated. […]
