I would like to talk about the plight of the cricket S.A. team. I feel it was only a mater of time before the manager of this team joined the rest of the dodgy match fixers, look at what happened in South Africa. And can only think the Australian teams time is coming .The Australians currently have the best all round team in the world and some of the really suspect results in the resent one day series with England in my opinion can only be regarded as very dodgy how can a team be so dominant in the long game and then be beaten so soon after. I don’t think tiredness is an excuse. The real problem is the poor money that is paid in wages to the players all over the world it just breeds corruption. In England the money that is generated is wasted on the county game subsidising clubs that have such poor attendance figers that realistically they should be allowed to fold. Too many poor sides playing poor cricket fit only for the park or beach .I know that it said they feed the top clubs by training and nurturing the young talent but in effect merely breed mediocrity. The money would be better used to improve the academies and wages of the national side. The schools should be encouraged to play more cricket and put forward true talent to these schools of excellence .They work!! the Australians have proved that. Also the class barriers have got to be lifted this may take time. We must encourage more ordinary schools and small local teams {not just public and grammar schools} to take up the game .I would be interested in any opinion on my ranting

The Ashes

Never mind that. What about the Ashes! Now I want your honest opinion. Don’t you think that if a team wins a trophy they should at least keep it for the period of time until it is played for again. Do you know any other trophy where this is refused other than the bloody ashes? No, you probably couldn’t be honest about such an emotive issue. Everyone is on about the Cricket and the Barmy Army.
