This is ridiculous, was looking forward to seeing test match cricket this weekend but the match is already over.
WI aren't upto test match standards. Time to create 2 divisions, so we don't have to play against these minnow teams.
I am not familiar with that incident as it was before my time, so I can't make any valued comment at this time.
What was the general public's view at the time?
All I am saying that we should be raising the standards and not dropping it to make a quick buck. During my time following cricket, did Border, Taylor, Waugh, Ponting or Clarke ever stooped this low in achieving their successes?

Best Australian Cricket event of all time. 2 losses early, then the recovery, then the dominate finals series beating the home side in a hostile environment with all the corruption in their favour and the Aussie's beat it all convincingly!
Just a pity that the 50 over game is pretty much a...
Great recovery last night. Swore we would be all out and behind. So far the English pitches seem to bat better in the final days. It's up to England how many runs they want us to chase to make a game of this.
