Either I'm too cynical or you're too gullible AC. By the way, would you be interested in buying the Brooklyn Bridge,
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

Is it a joke then? Like a late April fool?

I am quite gullible by the way.

Got out to lazy shots
Didn't agree with some of England's methods ultimately leading to his demise
Reprimanded for off-field misdemeanours
Played over 100 tests
Scored over 8000 runs.

David Gower's autobiography is also an interesting read.

Surely someone has to be pulling Cricinfo's leg?

That said, if there was a major issue that happened the ECB would have just come out and said it.

ECB have said it's real!

Is this the worst yet. An employee file is in the hands of the press!

This is a new low...

The five-page document, marked STRICTLY PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL


Even with all the cards in their hands, the ECB still monuentally balls it up.

I remember during the Text issue, many refused to believe that the ECB were the ones passing on information to the press, yet here we have a confidential ECB file in the hands of the press.

Whoever has the one brain cell the ECB holds, clearly must be on holiday. Leaking things to the press instead of simply having a press conference, even if it was just to say, "It's in the past, move on."

Better than the ECB, who might as well be designing the Vasa.

Heard that Ajmal Shahzad on the radio said Trott was asked to apologise in a team, meeting for giving away an overthrow in Bangladesh!

No wonder Monty was dropped. If true, that really is pathetic.

The ECB is an absolute joke if this document proves to be true. Regardless of what KP does, surely the ECB has to be above mud slinging.

We know they are not, and their management of many things have been poor at best. If this document is real then it also probaby means that the ECB has been responsible for leaking alot more documents.

How are these people incharge of the England cricket set up? Its a disgrace.
