yeah it is, pretty bad news if Giles clarke becomes president.
guessing manohar got no choice but to stay considering with the rules they got in place in the icc it would only really be Manohar, the UAE guy and giles clarke running.
giles clarke hasn't really got many fans apart from pakistan and the UAE guy is very inexperienced to run a big job like this.

so crazy how this guy survives everything.


Giles comes with a line of the pockets, so of course he will be popular. Hes a chameleon with no principles. But is he any worse than the rest? The Aussies and Indians lapped up the big three, the Windies board is chaotic, the Pakistan board has always been run by mentalists, and I doubt the others are any better.

The most astonishing thing about Clarke is, as the article says, he has a World XI going to Pakistan to play in Lahore, no doubt some corrupt exchange of money or favours being given there. A bit of a cricketing Sepp Blatter.

Of course, Lahore is perfectly safe at the moment..... its been, what, 2 months since someone tried to blow up the local assembly building in Lahore? And wasnt there another bomb attack in Lahore 2-3 weeks after, targeting foreigners?

Lahore... safe as houses.

True TBH my point was he seems to be able to survive Stanford, Big 3 and other disasters it is quite unreal really.

not sure how he still working for the ECB/ICC when he wasn't even getting enough votes for the ECB job and had to create an special job for him to represent ECB in ICC circles and even then he was an architect in the big 3 deal and some how survived the fall of that and now in the other side when the likes of Srinavasan and the CA chief left their jobs.
Really the point was can you actually trust a guy to run cricket when he made so many blunders in his career and still somehow survives to run another day.


TBH he isn't that popular in the ICC circles only really pakistan like him and that only because he allowing cricket to return in pakistan.

It seems even COA are against the new ICC governance model.

yeah but difference between domestic competion..and one purposely being set up as a franchise league meaning more congestion on calendar.

I don't see how a flagship domestic Twenty20 competition lasting just 10 days puts congestion on the ICC calendar

Looks like Scotland are going to win the first ODI against Zimbabwe. They're probably a better side than Ireland now.

6, most seeming to come from Aberdeen which i understand has the strongest cricket following in Scotland.

3 from South Africa

2 from England.


From the team that played today.

Has England had more than 3 SA born players in its team at any given time?
