If they seriously tried that **** they should have faced some of the most severe penalties imaginable. I cannot think of anything more selfish, myopic and destructive not just to subcontinental cricket, but cricket as a whole, not to mention one of the most important diplomatic relationships in the world.

Appalled. Hope it's just a beat-up. Or an April Fools' Joke.

You had to give it away, didn't you?

April Fool

I have already been made April fool once, so not falling for another.

Spark · 01-04-2011, 12:37 AM

TBH it did kind of say it in the article.

Pretty lame joke if so... meh.

Are there any April fools jokes on Cricinfo? I remember one a long time back (late 90's) which said that through some kind of statistical adjustment, Bradman's average was 100 after all. I remember getting really excited for a few moments before I realized it was a joke.

Anyone remember that and is the piece still up on their website somewhere?

Actually that wasn't an April Fools piece, unless you're refering to something else:
The Don's Test average could really be 100 - Sport - BrisbaneTimes
and
99.94 or 100? - Cricket - Sport - theage.com.au

Wasn't there one a few years back about a guy who could bowl 160+ off only 2 steps being found in the deserts of Namibia?

EDIT: found it
