A Cancer of Doubt - The Spot fixing Controversy
13 1,218

The latest alleged sudden fall from grace, if proven true, will send Pakistani Cricket back to the stone ages. Two of the best fast bowlers going around in the world, including a sparkling teenager with a million watt smile, with abilities compared to the finest exponent of left arm fast bowling ever, are in the middle of this quagmire. This is not a couple of cagey veterans caught in a get-rich-quick scheme. Due to internecine politicking that has come to define Pakistani cricket, the current...

I have been a big fan of his writing and to this day, still read his columns on ESPN....

I, along with a few friends, went to the Caribbean in 2007 to watch the super six stage of the cricket  world cup tournament. We had planned on watching the India games, which would've been against Australia and New Zealand. Of course, you know how it all transpired. India did not make it to the Super 6 and we were left with watching an over-matched Bangladesh dueling (exaggeration of the highest degree) Australia in a rain-shortened match and then, New Zealand. As much as we missed...
