That’s the sh¡t.
What a time to be alive. The simple life.
Probably had Mark Higgs waddling in for the Canberra Comets.

Lol I wonder what that Fazal Farooqi did to have his contract terminated immediately??
That’s actually quite sad because he was a serious bowler in this format. I really enjoyed watching him. Another body blow for the Thunder.

Interesting wording. Hmm.
Sydney Thunder have terminated the contract of Fazalhaq Farooqi, following a hearing held by Cricket Australia’s Conduct Commissioner.
Following the Commissioner’s ruling, Sydney Thunder took the extra step of terminating the contract.
The club received a complaint about the behaviour of Farooqi following an incident last Thursday and referred the matter to Cricket Australia’s Integrity Unit for investigation.
All impacted parties have been offered support.
Cricket NSW CEO Lee Germon said Cricket NSW and Sydney Thunder hold all employees to a high standard of behaviour and accountability.
“The behaviours displayed by Fazalhaq Farooqi sit outside our values and it was determined that his contract be terminated,” Germon said.
“Our focus now is providing the necessary support to those affected by this incident.”
In accordance with the terms of the Integrity Unit investigation, no further comment will be made.
No decision has yet been made about a replacement player.
“Integrity Unit investigation” … hmm.
“All impacted parties have been offered support” 
Ya Mum? & I’m not being cheeky.

Look, to be honest, the first thing that I thought about was betting - especially considering the part of the world he originates from.
But that line about “all impacted parties” has muddied the waters.

15 overall ain’t enough.
We are going to be chasing 200+ here
Yeah it sounds more like he’s lost his sh¡t and made some inappropriate comments or done something indecent to someone.

That’s how it sounds.
If a ground is ever going to host a successful 200 chase, then it’s going to be this one.
Then again… it is the Melbourne Stars.

Unless he was engaging in haram activity, he wouldn’t have been drinking either.
What’s the latest on the Sri Lankan player that was charged in sydney during the World Cup ?

Inglis 70 off 29 
He’s a heck of a player. I hope he gets an extended run as our international T20 keeper now post Wade.
