It’s wrong that for 100 years cricket playing countries have been robbed of the chance to win Olympic Medals in a sport they are good at…..cricket.

Reintroducing Cricket to the Olympics at the 2012 London Games would be
perfect, as England has the Infrastructure,cricket stadiums & fans.

The exciting Twenty 20 format is ideal for the Olympics and could spur the
development of a professional league in the US and Canada ,motivate athletes
everywhere, and make cricket even more popular worldwide.

Why shouldn’t the top cricket countries get the chance to win Olympic Glory ?

Oi Neelakantha! Not a basketball site, sports.
Yup, a lot of basketball - I like basketball… but this is a ‘general sports site’ (and a lot of cricket here, generally!)…

Thanks Neelakantha.

The article you pointed out was certainly very interesting reading but also quite emotive. As I’ve stated, I realise there was some controversy surrounding the match and later developments since. Not wishing to be drawn directly into an argument on the particular issue raised in your link, I will just suggest a link of my own which outlines some of the history of the relations between the players in question.

An excellent summation indeed. Makes me feel like I watched it… wait a sec… I did!

But in all seriousness Brad, good work - and well done on staying above the fray.

Nicely chronicled report.

Just a couple of things though…

“Australia past 400″ should be “Australia passed 400″, and “the second time in this innings” should be “the second time in this match”.

Excellent article. I know you are not interested in discussing any details of the sordid affair, but if you want to know what really transpired on the field:
