CRICKET MATES BECOME RARER

IAN Healy lamented the lack of camaraderie in the game these days because players are constantly shuffled in and out of sides to suit the various formats. “I’m a paid commentator and I have difficulty following who is in and out, so the public has no chance. There also needs to be a time limit on the length of tournaments such as the Big Bash.” And the cheating scandal? “They hadn’t even really started using the sandpaper and they got caught so they weren’t very good at it,” he laughed.
