... a well considered letter about the cricketing fiasco read something like ...
| Quote: |
"It's a disgrace ... if they (the authorities) have the evidence then let them show it ... if the Pakistani team have cheated then let them be punished ...

... is this cricket or another Israeli war against Lebanon " |
