Pakistan vs England Jul-Aug-Sep 2010

why do the British press even allow such low life newspapers such as the sun?

I love the way you blame the press before the corrupt mess that is Pakistan cricket.

if only Billy Doctrove wouldn't have stuffed up. He tried it again today.

You do realise that England also had a plumb LBW given not out off the bowling of Wright?

Pakistan is in a mess, no question about it. And they are because of themselves. But that does not make The Sun the holy grail of news reporting. NOTW had concrete evidence to support their claims. Sun is just trying to capitalise on the news.

If Sun is taken to be a prime source of news, then Angelina Jolie should have one kid each with Afflek, Clooney and Jhonny Depp by now.

The Sun were given details of an allege fix that was going to happen in the match yesterday which instead of putting in their paper like the NOTW did they told the ICC immediately. The allegations then went on to happen during the match. I fail to see how they are capitalizing on it.

Instead of not telling the ICC anything and using it as a big story The Sun has been transparent and tried to aid the ICC.

When I posted, only Sun had the story up. But now ICC has officially released a statement, so it is a bit more credible. I won't immediately believe what Sun says unless more credible sources become serious about it. However, ICC maintained that the allegations were true broadly speaking, which does not necessarily mean that something happened. I would restrain until the story develops further.

1) Explain.

2) How was it a clear stumping? It took about half a dozen slow-mo replays to tell that it was out. Probably didn't even look like it lifted.

3) Actually two LBW decisions, as Swann had one which was comfortably hitting the stumps.

Edit:

Bell has been drafted in to the squad. Presumably he'll play, so who drops out? Collingwood if he's fit presumably plays, but he's not bowling atm. Do Colly an Bell both come in? You'd want at least one of Bopara/Wright due to the bowlign option.
