This was very hilarious! Some of my favorites nuggets:

``Rule 17-z (Section CVII) explicitly requires that batsmen hit all quadrants of the ball with equal probability..…``
:-) :-)
``Speaking from behind a stall door in the men`s room at Headingley``
``the English team and other old ladies` groups``

Is another `report` forthcoming?

``English team and other old ladies` groups``....

Hysterical!

The Australians are such cry-babies!

By the way I heard the odds in the Pak vs. Bangladesh match were 50 to 1 in favor of Pakistan. Someone must have made a killing....

Re. ShahbazC

Yes, I have read that article somewhere too. In fact, I think I have even written that article before:-). Check out rec.sports.cricket around May 22.

BTW, I do not write from London...

Poor Australian, I think their butt should be kicked more often by Pakiz to realized that their was no BETTING in the game.

Loser alwasys cried for foul play. There is no stopping to Pakiz to go all the way.

Pakistan will win the cup.

Very funny article! Read this earlier somewhere else. Does someone know where it came from? I`d like to read more `commentaries` such as this one.
