Chronic the Drug Wasp 6 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Canny start in the T20, but what a boring cunt Nick Knight is. The Michael Owen of cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Started going tits up very quickly though. Still not worked out the difference between positive and reckless. I don't mind Knight (I think all of the sky England comentators are good actually) but he's probably the weakest of the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronic the Drug Wasp 6 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The momentum was lost by Root. Hopefully Buttler and Jordan can consolidate then have a dart the last 3-4 overs and get us 150. Rashid's overs may then be the key. Some canny blonde flap in the crowd here as well.

Tooj 17 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/feb/29/ecb-chief-giles-clarke-icc-takeover-commons-select-committee Giles Clarke, the England and Wales Cricket Board president, will be summoned to answer questions by the Commons culture, media and sport select committee over his role in the controversial “Big Three” takeover of the International Cricket Council. Clarke, the former ECB chairman, was central to the reforms in early 2014 that led to India, England and Australia taking greater control of cricket’s governing body and allocating themselves 52% of revenues generated by international events. With the select committee having spoken to Greg Dyke, the FA chairman, over Fifa corruption, the athletics chief Sebastian Coe regarding doping and Chris Kermode of the ATP on the subject of match-fixing in tennis, it will now turn its attention to cricket’s governance. “The committee has decided to look into the conduct of the ECB in relation to the governance of international cricket, in the context of the other investigations it is undertaking,” a spokesperson said. “The committee has already looked at football, athletics and tennis, as part of a wider group of investigations into sports governance and, in relation to cricket, the ECB is an obvious choice to call in.” Damian Collins, the Conservative MP for Folkestone and Hythe who sits on the select committee, has also emailed the ECB chairman, Colin Graves, about the ICC issue, having been part of a protest outside The Oval by the Change Cricket campaign last summer. Shashank Manohar, the new ICC chairman, has already vowed to review the 2014 restructure before the annual conference in June, with Collins now asking Graves how he and the ECB envisage change. “This is a crucial moment for cricket,” Collins said. “We have put six key questions to the ECB, because the cricketing public deserve to know how their game is being run. “England, along with India and Australia, are the most influential boards at the ICC. In August I accused them of orchestrating a back-room power grab that saw these three countries taking over the game at the expense of the other 102. “We welcome the news from the recent ICC board meeting that the ICC is considering governance reform but we want to know what the ECB thinks that reform should look like. “It is hugely important that cricket does not miss this opportunity to embrace meaningful reform, and that the ECB are at the forefront of ensuring that the international game gets the independent, transparent and accountable governance it deserves. And if the ECB disagrees, we need to know why.” Collins’ email to Graves was sent last week before a special screening of Death of a Gentleman at the House of Commons on Monday night, the award-winning documentary by filmmakers Sam Collins and Jarrod Kimber that charts the so-called “Big Three” takeover of the ICC. “The England & Wales Cricket Board is aware of interest from the Select Committee for Culture, Media & Sport to look into the governance of international cricket,” an ECB spokesman said. “The Committee has already spoken to a number of sports bodies in their on-going enquiries into the governance of international sport and we would welcome the opportunity to talk with them in the coming weeks.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30519 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Sad news about Martin Crowe btw. His test average of 45 is more like 50-55 in the current game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
