I agree with you about the complexity of the issue at hand. I think too many boards are looking after their own interests as oppose to the interests of cricket as a whole. Then you have the ICC who are being pushed around and are trying not to step on any ones toes which doesn't really fill me with confidence about the future. Thanks again for your comments and do come back to contribute some more as this site was made for us - the fans. Thank you Andy!

I’m an England fan and a keen follower of the Barmy Army. Welcome to the online world of cricket! It’s fantastic to see that with the current climate in the cricketing world that fans out there are still backing the sport and being great ambassadors for cricket. I generally agree with your opinion but I do believe that there is a deeper more complex global issue that can only be addressed by the governing bodies, and we shouldn't just marginalize the Australian team. Cricket in general has been tarnished with notorious incidents dating back till the late 80’s and it seems nothing has changed (what is the ICC doing about it?!) - Your argument is valid, however there is little we the average spectator can do to change the decisions of the "authorities" that "govern" cricket. It worries me how the game of cricket has immersed into the world of politics, I mean how many other national/international sports do you see so closely linked to politics, who is to be blamed, if anyone? Is it the media? the governments of individual countries? Or dare I say it the ICC and other cricketing authorities? It seems that cricket cannot free itself from controversy, be it on the pitch or off the pitch - In my humble opinion I think it’s now up to the ICC to get a grip of the situation. The genuine loving fans of cricket have been patient enough - it’s now up to all involved at the higher level to take action and restore the sport to its glory. Look forward to seeing great things on Stani Army! Great site Stani Army! I’m an England fan and a keen follower of the Barmy Army. Welcome to the online world of cricket!
