When you see people like Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Mick Jagger receiving knighthood's fuck all is mentioned all the drugs they experienced with and young kids getting influenced in copying them in their drug relates antics, I would rather see a young kid growing up playing Cricket as a sport than a young kid growing up blowing his/her mind out with LSD etc. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49639222 What about a young kid that grows up to domestically abuse their partner?

Might have read that ages ago but as I said I only treat Cricket as a sport and then you could say the same as Stan Collymore playing football in his days yet he beat up Ulrika Jonsson, I only treat football as a sport, I am not for the beating up of women anytime, bloody hell, if I tried beating the wife up she would kick the shite out of me then her big sis would come around and finish the job off. It's all the drug-related bits I am on about years ago with all the media and government condemning drugs and yet the likes of Jagger going around sniffing, popping and smoking whatever years back and they were condemned then but now they are good old men and made Sir's, and pound to a penny about they still do the naughty drug bit nowadays behind closed doors...it's a funny old world we live in. P.S. I bet Prince Charles has had a sly puff of the funny stuff in his time in the Royal Loo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a very compelling counter argument.

'She owed me a lot of money and I had ended up taking her to court which was not ideal but all I could do. Lawyer Sue Sims-Steward said her former friend and business partner Miss Moore said she slipped and hit her head 'She turned up for the judgment at the Royal Courts in London and I was told by her secretary and by my counsel that she had black eyes and she'd suffered an accident while on holiday. 'What I remember clearly is her ringing me at the time to ask me to back off and give her more time to pay. 'In the course of that conversation, she told me what had happened with Geoffrey. She had been to France with him. They stayed at the Hotel du Cap, they'd had a row over them getting married. 'He said, 'I'm not marrying you', the row took off, she started throwing his things out of the window. She grabbed one of his suits, there was a tussle over it and she slipped and hit her head and that's how the whole thing happened. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7456251/Geoffrey-Boycott-NEVER-hit-former-girlfriend-south-France-insists-former-friend.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Boycott is a fucking bellend and it sums up that cunt May that she makes out she's a feminist and then Knights a convicted woman beater. He was found guilty on 3 occasions by the way, the first when he didn't bother to turn up, the second he did and then an appeal. The Tories 'law and order' except when it's their mates. Absolutely mad comparing Mccartney having a joint to battering a woman. Jesus. That's the sad thing about Cricket, it's infested with Tories!

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted October 29, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 29, 2019 Shakib al Hasan: Bangladesh captain banned for corruption Bangladesh Test captain Shakib al Hasan has been given a two-year ban for "failing to report corrupt approaches". The 32-year-old accepted three charges relating to requests for "inside information for betting purposes". The approaches came during an international tri-series also involving Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in January 2018 and that year's Indian Premier League. Shakib is the top all-rounder in the one-day international rankings and has played 338 matches for Bangladesh. He was the third-highest run-scorer in the 2019 Cricket World Cup and hit two hundreds, including against England in Cardiff in the group stage. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/50222349 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted December 4, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) One of the best for England, R.I.P. Bob Bob Willis: Former England cricket captain dies aged 70 Only James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Ian Botham have taken more Test wickets for England than Willis' 325 The fast bowler took 325 wickets in 90 Tests from 1971 to 1984, claiming a career-best 8-43 to help England to a famous win over Australia at Headingley in the 1981 Ashes. He captained England in 18 Tests and 29 one-day internationals before his retirement from all forms of cricket in 1984. In a statement, Willis' family said he had died "after a long illness". "We are heartbroken to lose our beloved Bob, who was an incredible husband, father, brother and grandfather," the statement continued. "He made a huge impact on everybody he knew and we will miss him terribly." FULL REPORT Edited December 4, 2019 by CaaC (John) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnisExcubitor 678 Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Shocking but unsurprising revelations from Shoaib Akhtar. I think the captain who discriminated against Kaneria is probably Inzamam ul Haq. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) This needs to be investigated and the individuals involved should be named although Kaneria just told in a video that despite people calling out Inzamam he never treated him that way, in fact if you followed his career it was during Inzamam's time he hit his peak which he mentioned in the video. He was picked over Imran Tahir and Saeed Ajmal at that time at Inzamam's request. Quite shameful for me that this happened in our team. I personally don't like Kaneria for how he kept lying about his role in spot fixing until he accepted and got a life ban from ECB, which tarnished his reputation and career.
