Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

Cricketer Of The Year
Even for one of these not completely serious old players leagues, that must still be a horrible feeling

Worst over I've seen since Simon Mackin in a Shield game at the WACA a fair few years back (the game a very young Pucovski made 270 or somesuch). Sad story that one, went from solid domestic workhorse to barely being able to land it on the cut surface almost overnight. Still don't think I've ever seen a falloff that dramatic in any other cricketer ever

Wasn't talking specifically BCCI more India's attitude to playing Pakistan currently in general not just cricket. Lots of money at stake means play not enough then big moral objection and no play.
The world of cricket groans for a India v. Pakistan test match series.

Yeah but with the WCL its really upto the players. And honestly, its one thing to play Pakistan cricket team and another thing to play one that has Shahid Afridi after his conduct in the last few months. He has made Gambhir look like a saint.

Scott Boswell was the big one in English cricket. Got the yips in the 2001 one day final. Grim to watch.

Pakistan champions directly into the WCL final as India champions have refused to play them in the semi.

Meanwhile India will play Pakistan something like 3 times at the Asia cup as BCCI gets loads of $$$ there.

The hypocrisy is hilarious.

At least they've pulled out themselves rather than forced a change to benefit them like they would (and did) in a real competition. I can respect that
