Please explain: The West Indies play such great cricket that they beat England inside three days, and the captain is suspended because of a slow over rate? By my calculation, they were 204 overs ahead of the rate.

As I saw it, Carey took the ball and immediately flung it at the stumps, a standard wicketkeeper’s play. Did it suddenly become dead in mid-air? I don’t think so.

As long as sport is used as a vehicle of national pride, it can NEVER be divorced from politics. All sports should cut all ties with Russia now, including exclusion from the soccer World Cup. That does NOT mean allowing Russia to compete under some spurious federation flag.

Players don't always know best. But on the proposal to move to four-day Tests, cricketers are almost unanimous: they don't want it. They're being offered an extra day off and they're saying: thanks, but no thanks. They like the test in Test.

Graciousness has disappeared from sport. Australia didn’t “ fail”. That was an awesome display of fast bowling from Wood, the equal and opposite of an awesome batting performance from Marsh. That’s it.

Warner "selflessly" helping the quicks?
Next, Maradona and Tonya Harding were misunderstood, Lance Armstrong was only taking one for the team, and Essendon and the Russians were doing it for the betterment of mankind.
Dave Warner was the player’s most vocal voice during MOU negotiations, copping it from many. Now, ‘caught ball tampering’ trying to selflessly advantage the fast bowling unit - not for his own stats or personal gain. Rightly punished... but he’s a team man.
