Absolutely incredible. So many Pakistan fans claiming the Aussies are bad sports for not recalling the batsman. Why on earth should they in this situation? :lol:

The guy is just bowling incredibly since he came onto the scene. Still remember him destroying us at Lord's, but crucially, the team adjusted to him in the second test by batting outside the crease. Australia have not learnt from this.

There's a new Al Jazeera's fixing documentary following up the one released in Spring.

Because the ICC are heavily implicated in the corruption which is made abundantly clear.

There's no way any responsible organisation could take a heads in the sand approach... so it's a good job, then, that we've got the ECB.

The England and Wales Cricket Board has dismissed allegations of spot-fixing against England players made in a new television documentary.

An investigation by the Al Jazeera network claims to have "uncovered evidence of corruption at the highest levels of international cricket", including by a "small group" of England players.

"Whilst the limited information we have been given by Al Jazeera is poorly prepared and lacks clarity and corroboration, it has been properly assessed," the ECB said.

"Analysis of this by the ECB Integrity Team has cast no doubt on the integrity or behaviour of any England player, current or former."

:fp:

There are voice recordings of the fixer talking to at least one Engand player.

Herath’s retiring after the first Test, which is sad. I like Herath: he looks like a bus conductor and takes all of the wickets through sheer guile.

If we can get through the match without rain this could be a tasty chase.

I sense a massive collapse... England’s batting isn’t terribly deep today.

EDIT: Chaps you didn’t have to prove me so right, so soon.

Allegedly, the Ashes winner featured in the Al Jazeera documentary is considering suing. Rumours are it's Jonathan Trott.
