it doesn't matter how long ago it was just as wrong then as it is now ,
under arm bowling was not breaking the laws , just as the body line series wasn't ,
ball tampering is against the laws of the game , regardless of who and when ,

But not in the spirit if the game... which says a lot about Australian Cricket teams past and present.

I have not read the prevoius 23 pages, but oh look, professional sportsmen cheat. They should be ashamed and follow the example of our beloved footballers who the BBC and Sky pay for, and be as good as gold. Unless of course they are troubled by their personal deamons which have nothing to do with protecting their earning power.

The TMS have lost the rights to broadcast some overseas tours.

Another nail in the coffin of test cricket.

I can’t possibly listen to talk sport, they are so common.

Do you remember one time when the commentary was interspersed with ads for Regus office space? Can't recall if that was commercial radio or Mark Nicholas on Ch5?

Oh no! TMS is the only reason for paying the licence fee.

Apparently overseas boards decide who to sell their broadcast rights to.
They will go for the £ rather than the history.

However I believe the BBC have some TV rights to cricket. Possibly CC but not sure.

And now, a new competition for those fans who just can't quite manage a full twenty overs of cricket.

The ECB brings you 100 ball cricket, WTF!

Caught the tail end of an interview with the head of women's cricket on 5 Live earlier, Claire Connor. She tried to justify the proposed new format and completely failed.
