Out: wild dogs. In: boofheads.
All we want now is a cracking contest
AS BOMBS explode in Delhi, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, as terrorists are arrested in Mumbai, as religious conflicts break out in Orissa, as banks go belly up, as Mugabe continues his wicked ways, so cricket has an even greater responsibility to provide entertainment and enlightenment.
Not the least disturbing aspect of last summer's contentious series was the sight of the game's two main powers indulging in bitter recriminations.
Some thought the Australians behaved like boofheads. Others were convinced the visitors had stirred the possum. Regardless, it cannot be repeated. Nor can the rude catcalls heard last time in India.
It's another couple of steps back from 'I just wanted to stir up some debate'. I wonder just how more rearward pedaling he has in him.

We'll see in his next column, 'Why Sehwag is not fit to play for India'.
'Sehwag, in another childish and petulant display, has failed to concede victory to a team of battlers from a far off land...'
