Over the past week, I have looked on with increasing amusement as English cricket's authorities have tied themselves in knots over the unruly behaviour which plagued last weekend's Edgbaston Test and which will surely raise its head again at Headingley over the next few days.
Honestly, I know the England & Wales Cricket Board were the only people who didn't smell a rat over Allan Stanford (and didn't care as long as he was carrying wads of cash) but it's not that difficult, is it?

Actually, it wasn't Jimmy Anderson who did it. It wasn't Paul Collingwood and it certainly wasn't Monty (if in doubt, don't touch it) Panesar.
It was me.

Of all the sports to have sold their souls to television and money, I think cricket has suffered the worst.
Did you know there is still one match to go in England's interminable tour of the West Indies? Actually, if the dispute between the West Indies players and authorities over (guess what?), money, is not resolved, it may have finished already.
