Fixing allegations at The Oval? Who’s surprised?

September 18, 2010

It’s a good thing I kept my piece of praise as a draft this time. The last time allegations rocked Pakistan I’d just finished a post of praise for Test cricket. I had this all lined up and ready to go: “As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a bowler’s girl. A swinging delivery that sends wickets [...]

Match fixing, I’ve got it all figured out

September 2, 2010

Ah, match-fixing. Or match-fixing allegations, anyway. There’s a lot of noise being made about that at the moment. Big noise, too. And all us cricket tragics have dived head first into tragedy. We just love a little bit of drama, don’t we? All this white clothes stuff, how boring, give us action, give us satisfaction! [...]
