Never good to see a cricketer retire due to injury.

Its a shame hes retired, I thought he had a few years left in him as a T20 player, there are plenty of English county's who could use a hitter like him. He was one of a very small group of Aussie sportsmen I actually liked as well

With the emergence of young stocks in Pattinson, Cummins and Starc along with the rejuvenation Siddle and Hilfenhaus - losing Harris from the test squad may not as bad for AUS as it may seem 12 months ago.

feathers ruffled. coincidentally 'feathers ruffled' could also be a description of giles clarke's sense of style.

Heh. Firstly, that's some superb advertising for the new guys by Giles. I had never heard of them before haha
I always love it when a complete female sexual organ like Clarke suggests that someone watching a pirate streamed game of cricket is a problem for the sport.
Yes, heaven forbid that people actually watch a sport that we are continually told suffers from falling viewing figures. I couldn't even watch Australia v India because Sky apparently didn't have the rights in England or some rubbish.
"The ECB's chairman Giles Clarke recently condemned unauthorised websites streaming games, calling them: "The biggest danger to cricket, because they take money out of the game without commercial benefit to us. They are being used by the bookmakers as well. The problem of pirate-site streaming is very big for sport."
I happen to have Sky Sports Player, and as such can watch most of it legally, but I find it somewhat ridiculous that someone who is flown around the world, sits in the finest seats, and gets the finest food in the ground has even the slightest clue as to anything that may affect real fans of the sport, or sports in general.
Actually, pretty angry at his quote. Like all things pirate related, offer a better service at reasonable value for money, and watch as people actually use the service.

Yeah, that's exactly it. This attitude, and apparent belief that that he is the emperor of cricket, is part of the reason there is so much piracy. They don't take money out of the game because you obviously don't sell a product they're interested in.
People want to watch games without paying $50 a month for stuff they don't watch. They want to watch games that even when they do subscribe, are not covered. And finally they want to watch games without infuriating interruptions, be it the news or nearby bad weather.
Yet you can still be sure many of them also don't want to watch low resolution, lossy, low motion web streams hosted on fly-by-night websites running hosts of dubious scripts.
Alas, like the film industry, like the music industry, like the adult industry, they are starting down the path of ignoring their fans and customers, choosing to dictate what products they should have.
