Corruption probe

Cricinfo has reported that two ICC anti-corruption officials are investigating India's poor performances in the Videocon cup and New Zealand's decision to rest Shane Bond and Daniel Vettori in the penultimate match. In a way I am glad to see the ICC doing something proactive for a change, but I also have my regrets. Once it appears the whiff of corruption does not easily go away, and the mere mention of it leaves the matches with a hollowed out and slightly grubby feeling.

I think the decision to rest Bond and Vettori will be seen to be sound - NZs two best bowlers, who have suffered from injury, both in their comeback series, rested for a 'dead' rubber.
