Bunnies

As I am boycotting Cricinfo after Andrew Miller's hysterical denunciation of England fans last week (see below, last Monday), I haven't been on it to see what he has written since. Has he written the following, perhaps?


So Pakistan have effectively avoided the charges of ball-tampering and bringing the game into disrepute because of the well timed public release of Hair's supposedly confidential emails to the ICC. These emails allow Pakistan to claim that he was bent all along, has poor judgement and is unsuited to any umpiring at all, while making a case against them nearly impossible. Given that he wrote these emails after two solid days of being libelled as a racist by various media, and was only trying to get himself bought out of his contract (Sven Goran Eriksson is still being paid by England - there's a payoff for you), this is an impressive result. No-one will now be so foolish to accuse Pakistan of ball tampering, if, indeed, the rule is not changed anyway. How curious.


Has he bunnies.
