dje_wba Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I was surprised earlier to find out that in 2013 there will be two Ashes series played just a few months apart; was I the only one not aware of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb. Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 England destroyed the West Indies when bowling, hopefully Kies will blast them away now. I was aware of it yeah, stupid idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 What do you guys think about the jailing of Butt, Majeed, Asif & Amir from Pakistan for match fixing? Will this stop corruption in cricket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizpop Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 It was the right call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb. Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hard to say if it will ever be stopped completely, but I don't think it would happen with teams like England, Australia, South Africa, India etc anyway. Everybody knows what kind of reputation Pakistan has and their kind of culture, wasn't surprised at all to hear that something like this had happened involving their team. The punishment's were probably right, can still see Amir having an international future aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewok_3000 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 What do you guys think about the jailing of Butt, Majeed, Asif & Amir from Pakistan for match fixing? Will this stop corruption in cricket? They deserve it. And no, it won't stop corruption. But it is a step in the right direction. I'd post stuff about the Black Caps, but I really don't particularly care for Test Cricket. 20-20 Cricket is the one for me. I think the last game I watched was between England and Australia earlier this year, with Australia winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#NGMovement Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I think they needed to get jail time, they are very passionate cricket fans are the pakistanis. There will always be corruption but hopefully this has some what scared the other cricketers into doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dje_wba Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Hard to say if it will ever be stopped completely, but I don't think it would happen with teams like England, Australia, South Africa, India etc anyway. There has been match fixing involving South Africa and India in the not too distant past. The former South Africa captain Hansie Cronje and India's Mohammad Azharuddin both admitted to throwing macthes and were given life bans from the sport. Another Indian cricketer, Ajay Jadeja, received a five year ban for his involvement in the fixing of matches. I would hope that all cricketers would be able to resist any temptation to make money by getting themselves involved in either match fixing or spot fixing, but like drug use in other sports, corruption in Cricket may be something that is never completed eradicated.

Fried Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Betting is banned in India so they have a huge underground betting market, filled with so called 'exotic' bets, bets on when no balls will be bowled etc, that with the sway, being such a large cricketing nation, they have over the ICC and cricket and general I don't think they can crack down on this sort of match fixing. At least they're taking a step to try and get rid of it where in the past I think they've turned a blind eye to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Assassinâ„¢ Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Wow, 47 runs by Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 47 pretty pathetic runs. I think South Africa need about 100 runs. Over two days. FFS. Shane Warne out o retirement again to play for the domestic 20/20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fried Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 R.I.P Peter Roebuck. I seem to remember listening to him on the radio. Warner called to South Africa as a standby. I don't think he will solve their problems. Has scored a stack of runs across all games domestically recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fried Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Congrats to Australia for bouncing back after the 1st test embarrasment. Seems that new quick they have really added something to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb. Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Cummings and Philander were both impressive. Philander looks like he'll be a real weapon for South Africa when they face us in England next year, better than the Tsobe guy anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanillaSlice Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 The Aussies win a thriller by 2 wickets chasing 310! Were back and got alot in the sheds that would have thumped England in the Ashes if the selectors weren't TWATS.Victoria beat them FFS.Sick of the NSW Australian team. GO AUSSIES and Look out Endland were coming to take what is ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb. Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 You still cannot touch us. Inferior spinner, inferior seam attack, inferior batting line up of which two of the best players will soon no longer be around (Hussey, Ponting) and questions still remain over the likes of Hughes.

#NGMovement Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hussey to play til he is 55 imo lol. Cant wait for the Test Series against New Zealand, lets just hope the selectors actually choose a non lolworthy team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Paper reporting Clarke might go for four quicks/no spinner for the first test against New Zealand at the Gabba starting tomorrow. If he decides to go that way it'd be the first time Australia have four debutants since January 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 NZ win the toss and bat. Australia: Phillip Hughes, David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke (capt), Michael Hussey, Brad Haddin, Peter Siddle, James Pattinson, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, Ben Cutting (12th man). NZ 4/94 at lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
