Cricket administrators do it again
Aug. 20th, 2006 01:57 pmOne really has to conclude that the powers that be in cricket couldn't run a piss up in a brewery. I can't imagine any other sport where the reaction to one team refusing to play would be hours of negotiation including the personal representative of the president of Pakistan. If the Pakistanis get away with this it will be a licence for any team in future to walk off whenever they don't like the umpiring. It doesn't matter whether the umpires were right or wrong. That can be dealt with later. However, as usual with the ICC, sub-continent politics and money will be the determining factors.
