    So is India safe to tour or is it just a media beat-up?

    **** man, you're not helping keep this sensible!

    So is India safe to tour or is it just a media beat-up?

    Not knocking Sachin personally, if he wants to do that, power to him I guess. But I think its fair to ask whether its a "good example" or not for others to follow.

    *Official* Indian Premier League 2010

    Yeah, agreed. I found and read the match report after posting that, and deleted the post because it was obviously rubbish. I've rephrased the question in a more sensible way above.

    *Official* Indian Premier League 2010

    I didn't see the game with Dhoni scoring 16 off the last over the other night. Did he bat brilliantly or was it poor bowling. Some guys at work thought the bowler (Irfan Pathan I understand) stuffed up badly.

    So is India safe to tour or is it just a media beat-up?

    I believe KP has already flagged he is reviewing his further participation in this IPL, and presumably the next ones. I should emphasis I said "if" - obviously we don't know exactly what happened yet, and may never. You can have imperfect information but be told by your boss that its fine to...

    Have to lean a bit further away from "media beat up" sadly. Pretty bad if KP and Kallis didn't want to play and were pressured to.

    Essendon didn't need to top up but they wanted shot of Lovett because they knew he was a time bomb. It was either trade him for whatever they could get for him or delist him.

    Re Akmal - it was 2am and I was falling asleep, and I was pretty sure HB wouldn't take Latif as he had a keeper already. Just wante to stick an alternative down to conform to the forms. ;)

    Random country draft

    Actually, having given it some thought, I can see an alternative. I'll make my pick now, as I'm about to go to bed and HB already has a keeper. I'll take Rashid Latif as my keeper - probably as accomplished a glivesman as I'll get at this stage and an interesting character to boot. If HB does...

    A.F.L Thread

    Really? Lovett being such a liability of a person that his AFL career would be cut short of what his talent merited was a surprise? I was shocked anyone was willing to trade so much for him, I thought he'd be a Cousins last-selection roll of the dice type. Agreeing about Franklin in the ruck...

    Would have been weird for Flintoff not to be selected in two rounds of English players.

    A.F.L Thread

    I don't know - Williams for Lovett has turned out to be a pretty smart trade. Certainly better than they had any right to expect to get for him.

    Playing against Bradman, as with Bedser, that makes that average all the more impressive.

    A.F.L Thread

    Pick 8 in the draft and Medders as the steak-knives thrown in as a sweetener. The player we picked up with that pick 8 (Ben Reid) hasn't really kicked on in the manner we hoped, but that doesn't affect the deal itself. Freo used to make trade week fun.
