England wear the opponents down. Cook scored 30-odd of 140 balls or something. 113-3 at tea is tedious stuff even for test cricket

Fixing in the IPL. Who didn't see that coming?

I just hope this puts a nail in IPL coffin! Please, i want that good for nothing tournament banned and forgotten!!

Also did you guys read about his brother in law and his mother saying it's all a conspiracy by Dhoni and Bhajji!
Don't want to sound rude, but looks like the whole family deserves to be in mental asylum!!

Anybody up for a bet that Sree will be seen in Bigg Boss or some other reality show sooner or later? Granted if the fucker is not thrown on jail first? Or he coming out with an emotional family problem shit to justify what he did?

I liked a quote I saw somewhere - time to view IPL like WWE : as mere entertainment, not an actual sport.

Atleast New Zealand tour of England started. Something to watch rather than IPL

Well, it hurts to see cricket being reduced to just mere entertainment!

What's wrong with England though? Last i checked yesterday they were batting at a run rate under of 2.

Only hurts if you considered the IPL 'cricket' in the first place.

Personally, couldn't be more glad the sham has been exposed.

Yeah, that's true as well!! Now i am hoping that more bookies are found and the whole IPL is declared as sham. Then i will point and laugh at all those who made fun of me because i was more interested in test matches and refused to go the stadiums for IPL. I mean this was just a matter of time before the big expose

Some Boult was bowling an excellent spell after lunch. England were very tepid. 2 an over a whole day, that too at Lords, is pretty tame stuff from England..even for test cricket

I think there are more. There must be more. Can't expect Sreesanth and a couple of unknowns to be the kingpins of something this huge

Adam Gilchrist, in his last competitive cricket game, comes on to bowl to Harbhajan Singh and gets him first ball! He then emulates Bhajji's Gangnam Style celebration!

You couldn't write these scripts. Adam Gilchrist, a noble player on the field, goes completely off-character there

@LDN Blue, @, @warnie_666, @Ollie, @KonohasOrangeFlash,

Duppy Conqueror, South African user whose name I forget, and others not mentioned.

Us sub-continent folks have been hogging this thread for a while. Now that the embarrassing IPL is nearly over, it's time to get this thread back to it's former glory. Champions Trophy in England in 2 weeks, then the Ashes!

Didn't want to rub it in that we got NZ all out for 68 although as you've made that post, now i will. NZ need 239 to win in just under 2 days and England win by 170 runs. That's pretty bad lol. I love tests like that though, every ball was dangerous and there was nothing boring about any of the days. That's why i prefer ODI's, i don't wanna waste 5 hours in a day watching teams get 250-2 at about 3 RPO, just boring!

Hopefully English conditions can help us in the Champions Trophy. it did to a certain extent last time it was here in 2004 but we lost the final to the West Indies.
