Yet more sooking ..

... of the highest order. India deny jiggery-pokery.

And then some.

Sook. Throwing around baseless allegations amidst also throwing massive hissy fits seems to be the hottest new trend among journalists.

"They don't speak our language,'' has been the complaint about many ECB representatives. Clarke, who got an MA in Persian and Arabic at Oxford, literally did speak their language."

was clarke at the opec summit?

I have no fcuking clue why that line is even there in the article. Poor writing.

While India is allowed to give money to Sri Lanka,there will always be this sort of conjecture when they play against them.Personally I think there is too much pride in their individual statistics for them to throw a game,but I do find it strange that India is allowed to finance their opposition.Sri Lanka should be made to take a loan from the ICC,and administrators sent to oversee where the money is going.Didn't somebody embezzle funds from Sri Lankan cricket or was that India?

Yeah, India bought the game. Yeah we'll also buy everything else, including them and their girlfriend. Whoever they are.

Now then. What are you going to do about it?

And Waugh Junior.

Both approached by an Indian.

But most importantly there is India, because ultimately it will always be India who matter.

Yep.

Started by Indian journalists during the Sydney test.

Another thread inspired by dubious reportage in 'The Statesman'. Must be a real quality publication. Hang on, it's web-only, so it must be top-drawer...
