    Default Cricket a hot topic at UN summit

    Cricket a hot topic at UN summit

    "Just about every Prime Minister from cricket-playing nations had something to say about it," Mr Howard said.

    "It was a principal area of discussion."

    Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf meanwhile promised to make amends.

    "President Musharraf last night said Pakistan was playing England soon, and he would see that his team avenged Australia," Mr Howard said of the man who came to power in a military coup.

    "It was all very good humoured and underlines the fact that it's been a wonderful series for the game, which is very important for all of us who love it so much."
    So Pakistan might avenge the Ashes defeat... ah the joys of having all these former British colonies.

    Well Inzaman is still class, but after Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis retired the bowling attack's not that great.

    Wow! And I was beginning to despair about the efficacy of the UN.

    Yes, finally a topic that the UN is competent to take on.

    Speaking of the UN, I'm surprised none posted something about the total failure of the meeting (which was supposed to be the first step toward a total reform of the institution).

    Ha! So now the important discussions are left aside to give space to this? This UN is the antonomacy of corruption at international level.

    Genocide in Sudan no in the Balkans no the AIDS epidimic no The middle east no CRICKET YES
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
