Yep, finally something interesting happened in cricket, what happened? nothing. The pakistan team locked them selves in thier dressing room in protest against ball tampering alligations. Ball tampering? always knew there was something dodgy about that sport.

I really don't know what they're trying to achieve

The match has now been abandoned. Looks like a big confusion. Apparently Inzaman (The Pakistani Captain) asked his team if they had altered the Seam (the strings that go across the ball) during the Tea break and they said they hadnt. So thats why they never came out.

Major accusation on the umpires part.

But the thing is to afford the team five runs AND to offer the new ball to the batsman would both insinuate that the Umpire was certain that they did. There was no calls from enlgand that they were.

And I only thought the corruption was in football with the Italians, just goes to prove that I was wrong.

Maybe they had laced the tea with something? If I had the option of good tea or playing cricket I know which one I would choose.

But you all know my feelings on cricket.
