Never though I'd live to see a West Indian team cheat but such is the state of cricket. With Pakis on the ropes (ironic because they are they ones usually the butt of nasty aspersions) at 3 fer less than 20 against the Windies tonight (switched from Carlton-Essendon game just in time to see this) keeper Ramdin, backed by his cohorts in the slips and the bowler (least blame because he was furthest away), claimed a catch that clearly hadn't been completed. Paki skipper started to trudge off but eagle eyed Pommie ump Nigel Long at square leg told him to stop, consulted Aussie ump at bowlers end and called for replay which showed the celebrating islanders clearly caught out. Not surprisingly booing erupted -- something this team of islanders will have to live with for a while.

Nice to read this:

West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin has been charged with breaching the ICC Code of Conduct for claiming a catch off Misbah-ul-Haq during the Champions Trophy match against Pakistan at The Oval. Ramdin has pleaded not guilty and will attend a hearing on Monday.

Ramdin was charged with breaching article 2.2.11 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to "conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game". The range of penalties for all first Level 2 breaches are fines of between 50-100% of a player's match fees and/or suspension for up to two ODIs.

meanwhile, I hear all supporters from a large antipodean island (and a little one to the south) entering English and a Welsh cricket ground in the foreseeable future are being handed music sheets with the words to It's a heartache .... nothing but a heartache.

Lessons here for all, including across the DDCA

Ramdin was suspended for two suspended for two ODIs, and fined 100% of his match fees, for breaching the Code of Conduct when he claimed a catch off Misbah-ul-Haq during the Champions Trophy game against Pakistan at The Oval.

Trust an Aussie!

Common to see players mouth the word "f--- me" on TV when they F-up on the field but for the first time saw an umpire say it last night watching the rain-shortened one-dayer between the Pakis and Indies. A scorching drive burst through the fingers of bowler Bravo and struck ump Steve Davies flush on his ample arse as he turned away. As he turned back the cameras closed in to catch him clearly mouth the words, which drew light-hearted comments from the commentators. (Beware Steve: careful in this day of mass exits from the closet, you might get what you wish for.)
