Exactly. Why do you think Richie Burnett was done for cocaine yet MVG was never!
Has there ever been any proof MVG ever tested or has taken it?
No I'm just talking crap

I didn't even watch the rest of the match. I agree that's not conclusive evidence, but it doesn't look good considering the circumstances.

He was banned only for failing to report the approach, as it was a newspaper sting and the matches being discussed never happened.

As opposed to Lee who fixed actual matches that took place.

Speaking of which, what is the cricket delivery 'Chinaman' called nowadays? I assume it was racist seeing as everything is.

It's not a delivery, it's a style of bowling. The left arm equivalent of leg spin.

There's info on the use of the word Chinaman on the Wikipedia page, the formal term is now Left-Arm Unorthodox Spin.

Been looking at going to the World Snooker qualifiers again.

Its tremendous value, a tenner gets you in for the whole day

Sit in the right place and you can follow 3 tables very easily, I went to the final session of the "Last 48" last year and will probably do the same again.
