Is anyone really suprised that Pakistani cricket is corrupt? Corruption is endemic in Pakistani society. Large amounts of cash and relatively poorly paid cricketers with a limited career lifespan are a risk to say the least. If I had paid good money to watch that test I'd want a refund.

Cameron was right to question whether sometimes people in authority in Pakistan look the other way when it comes to terrorism and he got lambasted for it at the time.

As for the Cricket. Send the Pakistani team home and have nothing to do with them again until they can prove that they have changed.

They have actually - they are both sports which have had their share of spread betting scams.

Dunno, you tell me.

If you are Matthew Le Tissier you end up looking more like Matthew Le Tittier.

Saw Jimmy Greaves give a after diner speech once. He maentioned the that when Bruce Grobelar left liverpool he was given a gold watch. Very special watch, with three hands. Hour hand, second hand & a back hand.
