BCCI Ethics Officer Dismisses Conflict Of Interest Charge Against Sachin Tendulkar

Image
BCCI Ethics Officer Justice DK Jain Monday dismissed the 'conflict of interest' allegations against Sachin Tendulkar after the cricket icon refused to be part of the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) unless he is provided with agreeable 'terms of reference'. Jain in a two-page verdict described the allegations as "infructuous" (pointless), ruling that the matter had to be disposed off after Tendulkar made his position clear that he will not "act as such" a member of the CAC.

Botham, Richards and Garner’s dramatic Somerset exit: the inside story | Vic Marks

In an exclusive extract from his new book Original Spin, Vic Marks talks about the tensions that tore his county team apart in 1986 Shockwaves were felt across Somerset at the end of the 1986 season when the club announced that their overseas players, Viv Richards and Joel Garner, would be replaced by Martin Crowe, with the inevitable consequence of Ian Botham’s departure. Somerset had finished 16th in the championship and there was a critical loss to Lancashire in the second round of the NatWest Trophy in July.

That was always when the mumbling started in the committee rooms.

Australia have a lot to do if they are to prove English thesis that success is in DNA | Geoff Lemon

This is a happier and better functioning team but to beat the best week after week at the World Cup will be difficult In England as the World Cup’s opening day finally pulls into view, there’s a very strong narrative about Australia “peaking at the right time”. That’s presumably being replicated in Australian media outlets. To English minds, recent history is irrelevant because Australians are born knowing how to win. Australian minds don’t tend to disagree. Talking up Australia is understandable to a degree, given they beat England and swept aside Sri Lanka in two World Cup warm-ups, after winning their last eight one-day internationals on the trot. But flip the viewpoint and the warm-ups have raised more questions than provided answers.
