A few days ago, I read in an article that cricket has reached the front pages of US newspapers and media world wide after the Darrel Hair - Pakistan controversy emerged. This, when the football world cup didn’t manage to get the front page spot lights.

Now, we have the revealing news of Darrel Hair asking the ICC for money for which he would resign.

I had titled my comment immediately after the Hair-Pakistan controversy first broke out as cricket suffers. I did not imagine back then the extent could be so big though. Expect more coverage of cricket in media all around the world now.

Earlier, cricket was this game which people outside the traditional cricket playing countries found to have a set of very complicated rules. Now, it is a joke and not much else.
