Australian cricket in crisis.

Pity. Would have been fun to have won a world cup and got presented with the trophy by the bloke...

I thought an Indian ICC Chairman this time round was a foregone conclusion.

Pawar is waiting for some time now.

Don't make him wait too long plz, we need to get rid of him asap.

It goes in a cycle from England, to Asia, to Africa, to Oceania, and it's the turn of Oceania.

That's how I understand it too.

The article states

It is an important appointment because the occupant will take the top chair when Sharad Pawar's term finishes in 2012. Pawar takes over the reins from David Morgan in July.

Will Johnny still be alive by then??

And it won't matter anyway as the world will be ending in December of that year

Can we nominate John Major? And get him out of the country as much as possible?

Ah, at least we'll fit the Olympics in...

It also means England will hold the Ashes for eternity

by Zat Fri 22 Jan 2010, 00:11

That would almost make up for not holding them from 1989-2005.

I reckon I could cope.

He's a very gracious man though isn't he? Few could forget the mature way he congratulated the England rugby team on their world cup win.

is there an ACB email address where we can bombard them with protests?

by Zat Fri 22 Jan 2010, 00:20

I'm not sure many Australians would be terribly supportive of the idea. But then again,
I'm not sure many Australians would be terribly supportive of the current National Selection Panel.

hilditch and howard share the same initial in their surname and the ridicule of the australian community.

Thoroughly agree. I'd get him out of the country and he might even pick up another job and stay.

Is Lord Warden of The Cinque Ports vacant at the mo?
