The "Integrity Manager" won a trip to South Africa?
Doh!
Why was he not sacked for under performance?

ban the whole team - not just a handful of patsy fall guys - the whole lock stock and barrel - coaches, the lot

and, its Turnbull's fault
Just when I was taking your post seriously heh heh!
We don't play cricket anymore Peter.

Quote:The Poms said that Smith made the difference!
Well someone always makes a difference!
Otherwise no one would win.
