Re: ESPNCRICINFO reports that Gary Ballance has retired from all cricket - does anybody know details, what happened ?

So why quit You clearly do not understand the magnitude and ramifications for this right? The results of the matches which Ballance played will/can be nullified. Meaning it will be a major setback for ZC as that series was part of the WC qualification cycle. Even if he had not quit he was facing a ...

Re: ESPNCRICINFO reports that Gary Ballance has retired from all cricket - does anybody know details, what happened ?

Most of the squad are regular recreational drug users and it's no secret. Ballance's crime was he did it during a series, which is idiotic. This not a secret and not even a lie i will fall short of dropping names since some may say i have an 'agenda'. But in all honesty, I blame ZC they need to put...

Jonty you sound like this is good news? Are you saying this is not his first strike? Are you saying it was cocaine? Yes this is good news, he can be rehabilitated before it has got out of control. A toxic element been removed (voluntarily remed itself) from a cricket environment. Also sends a stron...

https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/integrity/anti-doping/decisions-and-integrity BT got a 1-month ban for drugs. Why you so ignorant to the fact that BT managed to prove to ICC that the use of the substance occurred Out-of-Competition and was unrelated to sport performance unlike in the case we have...

Re: ESPNCRICINFO reports that Gary Ballance has retired from all cricket - does anybody know details, what happened ?

Is there not a distinction between performance enhancing drugs and recreational drugs? Plus there's a likelihood of him having been on an anti-depressant that may have been on the banned list. Hales was caught and first offence was a warning and second offence was a 21 day ban, but that may be at F...

Re: ESPNCRICINFO reports that Gary Ballance has retired from all cricket - does anybody know details, what happened ?

I’m not saying he should have played a year of Logan cup. But leading up to the 1st Test against Windies Logan Cup was happening. There were 3 rounds of matches played when it was announced that he has signed a contract. The least that could have been done is play a single game. Mind you he had not...
