How will the Premier League unfold? 09:27am on 11 Aug 2009 I think there should be no criticsm at Phil (there hasn't been yet)for suggesting Liverpool as Champions. It is his opinions. Being a LFC fan, I honestly beleive Liverpool should have been champions last season as they were the best team. But ManU grinded out last minute winners in the late season and it made the difference.

I think it was a missed chance last season. This time, I don't think we can do the double over ManU or Chelsea, but atleast if we don't drop points over the lower teams then these doubles won't matter.

I don't think Alonso will be missed but what effect that has on the team, I don't know. I still have hopes but losing faith in Rafa.
How England can win the Ashes 4:32pm on 10 Aug 2009 No.65, I agree. Colly/Cook/Bell should take more of the blame than Bopara.
How England can win the Ashes 3:46pm on 10 Aug 2009 There is no need for knee-jerk reaction here. After all, this was the team which won the lord's test. Losing one, albeit pathetically doesn't need wholesale changes.
How England can win the Ashes 3:45pm on 10 Aug 2009 I agree with "excellentcatblogger", get broad at no.3. And for people saying Key/Ram, this is not county cricket, ashes. Freddie in, Harmy out, keep the rest, just change the batting order. I think that will be enough to win.
Indian cricket resists drug code 10:43am on 06 Aug 2009 Some people think BCCI is at fault and some people don't. Fair to all, you are entitled to your own opinions.

The same way, Indian cricketers are entitled to their own opinions and decisions. Vast majority of the sportspersons are against this "whereabout" clause but did not offer enough resistance because they know they can't win their case. With BCCI having the power, the so-called pampered elite know they can fight which is why they are flexing their muscles. Don't need to appreciate them for this but atleast not be dis-respectful.
Indian cricket resists drug code 12:08pm on 05 Aug 2009 markyrobs, I never said (don't recognise anyone else did either) that Sachin is globally famous than Federer or Woods. But what I said is that as much as those 2 are international icons, Sachin is in India. He may not be globally poplular that's just because Cricket is not a widespread sport as Football or Tennis.

Why is all the fuss, specially this article villianising BCCI & Indian players, when nearly 6 circketing associations have endorsed BCCI views. (They however had to accept WADA because of their own government commitments.)
Indian cricket resists drug code 11:43am on 05 Aug 2009 How on earth can you plan your next 6 months schedule, specially when you are not playing cricket, and provide your whereabouts? When FIFA itself hasn't agreed to WADA, why shouldn't BCCI oppose? Let's accept the fact that BCCI is the spine of ICC, without which there won't be revenue. And when they take a stance, it is bound for criticism from people who don't want to accept that change of power center.
Indian cricket resists drug code 11:24am on 05 Aug 2009 StaniArmy, I missed your last line. If you really think that Federer & Tiger are the greatest sports personalities of this generation, and Sachin doesn't fit in this category, then I am afraid you are in the wrong forum dude. You ain't got a clue on Cricket. Sachin & Lara, greatest of this generation.
Indian cricket resists drug code 11:13am on 05 Aug 2009 StaniArmy, I am proud that I live and watch Federer, the greatest ever tennis player. No doubt. It is true that Roger Federer and Tiger Woods are not as well known as the Indian players, but this only applies in India. For majority of Indians, where cricket is a religion, Sachin is a god. He commands a mass following. I am only replying to your comments, not that I worship any Indian cricketer.

If I was a sportsperson, I would be angry that I have to inform the authorities, in prior, my whereabouts for an hour every day for the next 6 months. Ridiculous. Why not the drug testing authorities have your personal number, call you 24 hours in advance and request a test.

For your info, this was taken from Cricinfo.

======
* Player associations share BCCI's concerns about WADA's whereabouts clause:

* The level of information required to be provided to comply with the whereabouts requirements was our main issue and we found that impractical -- Paul Marsh, Australian Cricketers' Association

* The issue is the whereabouts clause and England players are concerned about security and privacy -- Sean Morris, Professional Cricketers' Association

* Practical and privacy concerns persist for our players and we want the ICC to address them -- Tony Irish, South Africa Cricketers' Association

* The whereabouts clause administration is cumbersome and very difficult for those in team sports to manage -- Heath Mills, New Zealand Cricket Players' Association.

* Our concerns are similar with regards to the whereabouts clause -- Graeme Labrooy, Sri Lanka Cricketers' Association.

Indian cricket resists drug code 00:02am on 05 Aug 2009 Truth is, majority of the sportpersons, including Federer have opposed this system but have reluctantly agreed. When Indians oppose, it is crime??
