Former Pakistan cricket captain Salmon Butt and fellow Pakistani quick Mohammad Asif have been found guilty over night in the Southwark Crown Court of match fixing. I believe any player caught deliberately conspiring to change the outcome of a match, whether they succeed at changing the match or not, should not pass go, should not collect $200 and be sent directly to jail. Congratulations Southwark Crown Court!!
I'm not convinced that having the captain of a team included on the selection panel is an improvement. However, some of the other outcomes of the massive Argus Report commissioned by Cricket Australia are spot on. Having a new captain like Michael Clarke take on extra responsibility as one of the five selectors is dangerous and will no doubt cause dramas down the track.
The big wigs of world cricket are currently meeting in Hong Kong at their annual conference. The International Cricket Council (ICC) Chief Executives' Committee (CEC) meeting kicked off the ICC Annual Conference week and there have been some big decisions made that will affect the future of cricket. We haven't heard much about these decisions in the media for some reason....
