The Cricket Thread

I think it's meant to not take a heat mark, so it looks on hotspot like you've not edged it when you have.

KPs denying it all anyway, sounds a bit unlikely to me.
 
And to be fair, they are accusing both sides of doing it, but KP's dismissal is the one that has raised the queries on it.

Maybe, but it would still deflect (or at least spin) the ball - didn't seem to happen in KP's case.
 
What a load of gonads.

A batsman is going to put something on his bat to hide hotspot marks, so what happens when he gets given out LBW and he has gone bat before pad?
 
Obv been out of the loop past few days with this tape story, was it published by an Aussie or an English journo ??
 
How does this Carberry bloke from Hampshire not play for England in 1 day / 20/20 cricket, he is an awesome player
 
Bit rich coming from this womanising mouthpiece prick really, yet more sour grapes for me, 3 series in a row to England gutted !!!!

Shane Warne has criticised England's attitude and behaviour during the third Ashes Test, accusing Matt Prior of being "smug" and questioning whether they are being deliberately "arrogant and dismissive".

England retained the urn on Monday when the Old Trafford Test – which they were on course to lose – was washed out by rain, meaning their 2-0 lead was preserved heading into the final two matches of the series.

Andy Flower's men came in for some criticism throughout the game for alleged time-wasting, and Warne has gone one step further.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Australia's all-time leading wicket-taker singled out the wicketkeeper Prior and spinner Graeme Swann, as well as querying whether Flower was instructing his players to act in a certain way.

"A lot of us reporting and commentating on the game were really taken aback by the way the England players were interviewing and behaving in press conferences and after-match interviews," he said. "It has caught the attention of those who report on the game, especially mine.

"Yes, England are a very good cricket team and it is their choice how they convey messages to the press and act on and off the field, and also how they want to represent themselves individually and collectively as a team.

"But to me there were a few moments at Old Trafford when I thought, 'Hang on, who do you think you are?'

He said that he had been unimpressed by an interview Swann had given to Sky Sports in which he had apparently been dismissive of suggestions that England had had a tough couple of days.

"Matt Prior was also very smug in his comments, which leads me to think perhaps it is a conscious effort or direction from Andy Flower to be arrogant and dismissive of the opposition. Let me tell you this, if you lose respect for the game and the opposition, cricket has a funny way of biting you on the backside."

Warne's comments come on a morning when a number of England's players were photographed in national newspapers smoking in the street in the wake of the Old Trafford draw

Just finished reading his book, he doesnt come across as much of one, I think this new attittude is very much Flowers doing, win, then grind your opponents mentally down too
