    Fixed. Also, all cities are boring and rubbish. Next.

    Battlefield 3

    E.P.I.C. Got this (PS3) en of last month. With more on my friends list playing this over MW3 (which I did enjoy, but went back to last week for a session and found it completely unrewarding), first couple of hours were annoying whilst the learning curve took hold, but since then, loving it...

    GTA V

    Have heard SR3 is a bit crap, though that is a heard! Anyway, I put GTA IV in the PS3 today, it's been about 18 months since I finished it. Good grief, the graphics felt rough and the driving physics felt awful. Very vague. Anyway, Rockstar rarely fail to impress. If GTA V had elements...

    Spot Fixing Scandal Thread: The Legend Continues

    Point with Cronje is all fairly moot though, as he's dead. Wasn't that long after the fixing was uncovered and there have been numerous rumours that a criminal prosecution would have been bought about were it not for his plane crash. But again, different jurisdictions make it hard to judge. The...

    83, but that was a long time ago and I'm nowhere near that at the moment. Set myself a mini-goal of a half-century before end of the year. Our best player (who is also 78!) has hit centuries, and there are a few other players in the league who have hit centuries. It's highly competitive. Got my...

    On a lighter note, I've started playing competitive snooker again, for the first time in about 6 years. Our team play the Royal Mail tonight in the cup, I'm presuming we have to collect them from the depot... My form is picking up again, some decent breaks at the weekend session, nothing...

    I'm hearing Amir is actually going to a young offenders institute. To those that don't know the UK system, they can all be let out on license after serving half their term. So come half way through they'll be able to go in front of a panel who will dictate if they have behaved well during jail...

    It's impossible to compare what is fair in relation to the crime when they happen in different legal systems. You have a point though.

    Spot Fixing Scandal Thread: The Legend Continues

    Conspiracy to obtain and accept corrupt payments isn't criminal? Corruption is something that has to be dealt with an iron fist, or you won't stop it (well, the reality is of course that you barely ever touch the surface of corruption, but given the chance, be tough). Sure, it's not murder...

    What are you listening to now?

    Some instrumental metal for y'all. They do a very impressive range, the whole of the Station album is just epic.

    How To Become ICC Umpire?

    Get in contact with your local umpiring association, I'm sure Pakistan will have one. The ECB have a fantastic umpiring set-up. Get to know people, get involved with the game. My other piece of advice is to buy a Tom Smith's umpiring manual. Tom Smith's Cricket Umpiring And Scoring...

    I think it is hard to imagine a sportsman going to prison, it's quite odd, the likes of Cronje and the various others from other sports never faced jail-time.

    Um, that's been the whole point of this trial. It's a criminial prosecution brought by the police, it has nothing to do with the ICC as criminal prosecution is outside of their jurisdiction. This is all about them breaking the laws of the UK. I'm a little surprised some people are only just...

    He'd already pleaded guilty. Sentencing should be soon, possibly by end of today, almost certainly by the end of the week. I'm expecting custodial for Butt and Asif. They can face a maximum of 9 years in jail. Doubt it'd be that long, but a prison sentence is a very real possibility. The...

    England In India - October 2011/12

    I don't care if Trott is only scoring at 80%, he's averaging 50+. That's not a useless stat, if he was averaging high 30s/40, fine, people would have a point. But he isn't, so they don't. I think someone has already hit the nail on the head. KP to open, with him finding his feet again and...

    DRS no longer mandatory

    And again, the company behind DRS showed you'd need like a cm of vaseline for it to be of any use. You can't hide that on the edge of a bat. Seriously, I'm going to start deleting posts that talk about vaseline. It's like saying the earth is flat, we've proved it's not so, so STOP IT!
