« India's golden balls | In the grip of the Asian betting mafia »

Cricket never was the English Eden
Michael Henderson, never one to take the safe option, writes a long article in The Daily Telegraph on Pakistan cricket and its place in the modern game.
“While India have the money to confront the old order, the Pakistanis like to portray themselves as maligned outsiders, an image their players have reinforced in the past three years by favouring a hard-line Islamic faith.”
And he finishes with a swipe at the ICC and its reaction to calls for the tournament to be scrapped.
“The ICC will disregard him, of course, arguing that the show must always go on, if only to avoid shelling out millions to compensate the television companies covering this bloated tournament.”
