Mountain Ash (Welsh: Aberpennar) is a town and community in the Cynon Valley, in the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales.
At the 2001 census, Mountain Ash had a population of 7,039.[1] The Mountain Ash geographical area incorperates and includes the districts and villages of Penrhiwceiber, Cefnpennar, Cwmpennar, Caegarw, Darranlas, Fernhill, Glenboi and Newtown and Miskin. Mountain Ash lies within the historic county boundaries of Glamorgan.
Unlike other villages in the South Wales Valleys, it remained quiet, being only disturbed in 1818 by the construction of the Aberdare Canal. It became disused in the early 19th century, filled in to form the New Cardiff Road in 1933.[2]
The population of the village was 1,614 in 1841, rising to 11,463 in 1871 with the opening of local collieries. The 1851 census shows the construction of Duffryn Street and Navigation Street. By 1859 there were 12 public houses, some of the earliest being the Bruce Arms, the Junction Inn and the New Inn. By 1920, Kelly's Directory lists over 200 businesses within the village.[2]
The coal industry had started to decline post the First World War, but after the Second World War factory industries were introduced to offset the serious fall in local mining employment. By the end of the 20th century the last coal mines had closed, and many of the town's factories had ceased operation as well. New light industries and service activities only partly mitigated the resulting economic hardship.
Mountain Ash along with the rest of the Cynon Valley and all the other South Wales Valleys was predominantly a Welsh speaking Valley up until the 19th century.
The town is served by Mountain Ash railway station on the Aberdare branch of the Merthyr Line of the Arriva Trains Wales rail network. Further to Mountain Ash railway station, the village of Fernhill and Penrhiwceiber is also served by the Merthyr Line.
Bus services are operated by Stagecoach in South Wales and Glamorgan Bus (Bws Morgannwg) Services.
Mountain Ash is served by Mountain Ash Comprehensive School (formerly Mountain Ash Grammar School) (Welsh: Ysgol Ramadeg Aberpennar) for students aged 11–18. The comprehensive school is situated on the site of the former estate of Lord Aberdare, the main house, Dyffryn House, was still used by the school until its demolition in the 1990s. Opposite the site of the secondary school is the hospital Ysbyty Cwm Cynon which opened in 2012 replacing the old Mountain Ash General Hospital.
Local primary schools include:Our lady's R.C Primary School, Caegarw Primary School (Ysgol Gynradd Caegarw), Glenboi Primary School (Ysgol Gynradd Glen-boi), Darranlas Primary School (Ysgol Gynradd Darren-las), Miskin Primary School (Ysgol Gynradd Meisgyn), Penguelan Primary School (Ysgol Gynradd Pengeulan) and Penrhiwceiber Primary School (Ysgol Gynradd Penrhiwceibr).
Sport and culture[edit]
Mountain Ash has a football and a rugby team called Mountain Ash RFC.
Nos Galan (Welsh: Rasys Enwog Nos Galen), is an annual 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) running road race, run on New Year's Eve to commemorate the first race of Guto Nyth Bran. Started in 1958, it now attracts 800+ runners and 10,000 people to the associated street entertainment.[3]
In 1974, Mountain Ash RFC Singers Male voice choir were formed from a group of ex-players.
Mountain Ash hosted the National Eisteddfod in both 1905 and 1946.
In Literature[edit]
Mountain Ash served as the inspiration for the fictional town of Aberowen in Fall of Giants and the rest of the Century Trilogy written by Ken Follett.[4]

Mancini safe despite 'nationalist' criticism
Saturday 06 November 2010
Roberto Mancini is taken aback by the levels at which his management has come under question in England, but he is nowhere near quitting Manchester City despite past evidence that he is an emotional individual prepared to walk in the face of criticism.
Mancini dramatically announced his intention to resign from Internazionale in March 2008 after a home defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League, only to reverse his decision the following day. He certainly feels he is being given a rougher ride here than in Italy and is indignant that City's fourth place in the Premier League counts for little.
Mancini has told the Italian newspaper Il Secolo XIX that "the tabloids rage on us because City are headed by an Italian; I'm sorry to say, but the English are nationalists in football".
The intensity may be about to get worse with the prospect of tomorrow's visit to West Bromwich Albion – a bogey team in the Premier League era – followed by Wednesday's Manchester derby and, arguably tougher still, the 4pm televised match-up with Mark Hughes' Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, 21 November. The media scrutiny for that weekend will be huge. Hughes' City had taken two more points from the first 10 games of last season than Mancini's have in this.
Mancini also finds the situation unusual in that at Inter he became accustomed to the president, Massimo Moratti, taking some element of criticism. At City, his owners remain in the background.
Support at the highest level of the club remained firm yesterday, with the view from Abu Dhabi being that the manager and senior management should stay positive. Even defeat tomorrow, and again to Manchester United on Wednesday, would not affect that perspective. Removing Mancini would, indeed, be grossly premature and would send the club into yet another period of rebuilding.
Mancini is still in the process of shedding those elements of the Hughes era who are not delivering. Shaun Wright-Phillips, who may be offloaded in January, was particularly poor during the 3-1 defeat to Lech Poznan in the Europa League on Thursday. Many of Mancini's own acquisitions are yet to bed in. Aleksandar Kolarov looked a great defensive addition before his first-half injury against Tottenham on the opening day of the season ruled him out until Thursday, when he returned as a substitute. David Silva is also starting to look like the asset City expected. The only major question mark is Yaya Touré, whose substantial playing time has yet to reveal exactly why his weekly pay deal comes to nearly £200,000.
City still find themselves deeply dependent upon Carlos Tevez, though. Not since January have they won a Premier League game when his name has not been on the scoresheet. Mancini has said he expects the captain, who returned from Argentina on Thursday, to be fit to play at The Hawthorns.
West Bromwich have won more points against City than against any other opposition during their various spells in the top flight. In their eight Premier League meetings, Sunday's hosts have won four, drawn two and lost two. West Bromwich have won the last three home meetings in the Premier League: 2-1 in 2008-9, 2-0 in 2005-6 and 2-0 in 2004-5.
Mancini's assistant, David Platt, insisted yesterday that the players would have to live with the pressure. "We have been catapulted into a goldfish bowl," he said. "All of a sudden we are at the forefront of things."

Is the Department of Justice bipolar?
Eight months and a week after raining hellfire and damnation on the online poker community with its Black Friday indictments that shuttered several of the top-grossing sites, some believe that a DoJ memo unwrapped at the start of the holiday weekend clarifying its interpretation of the 1961 Wire Act might open the door to the return of legalized online poker.
Granted, the April 15 indictments that nailed Poker Stars, Absolute Poker and Full Tilt Poker had to do more with money laundering and fraud, but Friday's announcement by the DoJ just might be the first major step in a process that hopefully will lead to unfettered play and less government interference.
Why now?
It's possible that the DoJ was just getting tired of being nagged. Several states had petitioned the government for an advisory opinion on whether it was legal to sell lottery tickets online to players from other states. And, in an example of bipartisanship rarely seen in D.C. these days, Senators Harry Reid (Nevada) and Jon Kyl (Arizona) had co-written a letter asking the DoJ just what it was thinking when it brought the hammer down on Black Friday.
Maybe the tone-deaf bureaucrats got the message that they had overreached back on April 15, bringing both a firestorm of criticism and a dramatic spike in Congressional activity aimed at either amending or outright overturning the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.
Whatever the reason, as the dust settles on the DoJ's move, many – but not all – observers see the Christmas Eve announcement as an about-face on the issue of Internet poker, and areas that have started to make inroads (Nevada, Washington D.C.) will no doubt move more aggressively in the hope that will not be tacked down by packs of federal regulators accompanied by Dobermans.
The decision – which did not relax the prohibition against sports betting -- most certainly got the attention of legislators in states which have kicked around the issue of Internet gambling.
This past Thursday, Nevada made a move that is expected to enable it to become the first state in the country to allow Internet gambling within its border, as the Gaming Control Board voted to allow licensed online poker sites to do business. While the state has a small population, some analysts say that under the DoJ decision Nevada could legally draw players from other states which also approve play.
Proponents of online legalization in California, D.C., Massachusetts, Iowa and New Jersey will no doubt be energized by the developments.
In anticipation of the government taking off the locks and chains, six online companies have already applied for licenses to operate in Nevada – International Game Technology, Bally Technologies, Shuffle Master, Cantor, South Point Poker and 888 Holdings. Caesars and 888 Holdings already have an agreement in place.
But while some see the DoJ decision as a signal to re-emerge from their bunkers, not everyone is convinced that there will be an immediate sea change in the way the government views gambling over the Internet.
"I really can't see what all the fuss is about," Joe Brennan Jr, president of the Washington D.C.-based Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association told Covers.com. "Nothing much has changed. The memo referred to the purchase of lottery tickets online and didn't mention poker."
Brennan believes that companies that leap into action without the backing of enabling legislation are leaving themselves exposed by legally and financially.
"The bigger companies have a lot to lose if they read this wrong. Smaller firms might jump in, though."
Brennan also points out that the DoJ's Black Friday indictments were all about money laundering and bank fraud, not Internet poker.
"When you read what the Justice Dept. actually says and not just what the headlines say," said Brennan, "we're pretty much where we were."
Brennan may be right and the DoJ's move may not be a 180-degree game changer, but it has succeeded in stirring the pot during the holiday season and, at minimum, given hope that advocates of online gambling have some momentum as 2012 gets under way.
A spokesman for Texas Rep. Joe Barton, who has sponsored legislation to legalize online poker, told Covers.com by email that Barton's legislative staff is analyzing the DoJ memo and will have a response in the near future.

Johnston out to "smash" Fiji

Samoa prop Census Johnston has lit the blue touch paper ahead of Sunday's clash against Fiji calling on his side to "smash" their Islander neighbours.
Johnston's Samoa need to beat their fellow South Sea Islanders or be left facing an early exit from the tournament after last weekend's loss to Wales in Hamilton. Fiji are in an identical position - they play Wales on Sunday week - knowing victory would keep them in quarter-final contention.
"With the backs that the Fijians have you have to smash them up front," former Saracens prop Johnston said. "For me, that is my job, that's what I need to do. The Fijians are not a small pack."
Fly-half Tusi Pisi, who returns to the Samoan line-up after a hamstring injury that ruled him out of the Wales game, backed Johnston's sentiments. "For us, it's going to be won up front," he said. "If we can get good go-forward ball and our backs can look after their ball, then we will come out on top.
"We can definitely learn a lot from our previous game against Fiji (in the Pacific Nations Cup) when we lost. It's just about us sticking to our gameplan."
Fiji need to recover from a 49-3 drubbing against world champions South Africa, but their task has not been helped by the loss through suspension of flanker Dominiko Waqaniburotu. Waqaniburotu landed a three-week ban after being cited for a dangerous tackle on Springboks full-back Pat Lambie and will not play again in the tournament unless Fiji make the semi-finals.
"He's a fantastic player," Fiji skipper Deacon Manu said. "He's got a huge future in front of him, and to lose him at a crucial stage it's probably not ideal.
"I feel for him. He has trained with us, he's put his heart and soul into the jersey, but the guys taking his place, they are more than capable of performing to that level. We need to match Samoa physically. We are certainly aware of all their threats, and we just need to contain them and make sure we focus on what we need to do.
"They are littered with key threats, really. They've got strong, hard-running backs with a lot of experience, a lot more experience than our guys in terms of playing at the higher level. Both teams will obviously be going for the win, but expressing yourselves as Pacific Islanders is the free-flowing game that everyone is accustomed to, so we are certainly not going away from that."

Scouting Strasburg: No. 1? No question
Dwindling scouts sum up star pitcher in two words: 'Fil-thy'
On Thursday night, top MLB draft prospect Stephen Strasburg took the mound for his last regular-season game with San Diego State, against Utah, the only team that has beat him twice in his college career. During warm-ups, a cool breeze hinted at light rain, but that didn't slow down the crowd of Utes fans and baseball junkies who filled Lindquist Field in Ogden, Utah. Almost 1,700 filled the stands -- more than four times the Utes' average home attendance. Among them, a handful of pro scouts kept watch from the seats behind home plate.
One sat near me in the fifth row, sporting a baby blue polo, a salt-and-pepper goatee and blade shades. I introduced myself, but he just pocketed my ESPN business card, nodded, then leaned forward to drop a bulging glob of tobacco spit behind the seat in front of him. I told him I was here to find out what it's like to scout the universal top prospect, from the scouts themselves. "There's not many left," he said, glowering, and yanked a thumb to the gray-haired man beside him. "Only one club."
Earlier this season, I'm told, a crowd of scouts followed Strasburg's every pitch, making the seats behind home plate a forest of radar guns. But as his record approached 11-0, with a 1.24 ERA and just 13 total runs -- highlighted by last week's no-hitter against Air Force -- it became clear that no team could pass him up, even with agent Scott Boras' reported $50 million contract demand. When Strasburg started pitching at 6 p.m., there were just six scouts here: two American League part-timers watching other prospects; two from the Washington Nationals; and two from the San Diego Padres, including my cantankerous neighbor. Of course, the Padres pick third. They're just watching their backs in case Strasburg falls. They don't expect that to happen.
The first inning was rough. Strasburg walked the leadoff hitter, who moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Utah treated every baserunner like its one and only shot to score. But right-hander Nick Kuroczko pushed a fastball just fair down the first-base line for an RBI triple, then C.J. Cron pinged a 98 mph burner for an infield RBI single. When SDSU manager Tony Gwynn walked to the mound, the scouts joked in hushed tones about the rare conference. "[Strasburg is] saying, 'Coach, I didn't tell you to come out here,'" one said. Cron moved to second on the next batter's groundout, setting up the most important at-bat of the night, when Strasburg showed off the skills and composure that make him such a rare commodity. Right-handed first baseman Austin Jones played the sacrificial lamb.
Behind the plate, all eyes were on four handheld radar guns. But after an inside slider, Strasburg came back with an 80 mph changeup that nicked the bottom of the strike zone. Jones inched toward the plate, so Strasburg decided to overpower him. He brushed Jones back with a fastball that read only 95 on the guns but made the catcher's mitt crack like a wood bat. The next pitch rode inside again, a 98 mph rocket. "You see him squeeze those legs?" asked one scout out loud. Jones swung at the next pitch, a 95 mph fastball on the outside, setting up a full count. Again, all eyes bounced between the mound and the LED radar readouts. Strasburg's motion didn't seem to change, but the ball came out 15 mph slower. Jones watched it pass, catching the outside bottom corner to end the inning on a strikeout. "The guy is filthy," shouted a guy two rows back. "Fil-thy."
"Everybody talks about his fastball," one of the AL scouts said on condition of anonymity. "But his slider might be his best pitch. He'll throw at 96-98 mph, but his slider is almost as fast as other pitchers' fastballs. Then he's got that changeup."
That at-bat put Strasburg into a groove. He gave up four more hits -- six total in seven innings, with two runs allowed -- but stifled Utah's only real chance in the fourth inning. Cron doubled to the left-field track, then advanced to third on a wild pitch that the catcher should have blocked. The next two batters struck out swinging, and Strasburg got the third to fly out to right field. After Strasburg's 10-pitch fifth put him at 75 for the night, I followed the Nationals' scouts to a new seat down the third-base line.
Insider: MLB Draft
How do you hit Strasburg? We asked the few hitters who touched him up. Story
• Law: Top 100 Players
• MLB Draft Blog
Longtime minor league first baseman Marteese Robinson was the cross-checker. Every team in the majors knows what Strasburg has to offer, but the scouting never ends. But like most of the scouts here tonight, Robinson insisted this was the first time he'd ever seen Strasburg in person. I asked what he thought. He looked at me as if I'd asked what color the sky was. "You were behind the plate," he said.
In fact, the sky was gray and cloudy by the sixth inning. The flag was horizontal. Strasburg never slowed down. His performance never felt epic. He was just a machine, a factory that kept producing outs and varied little according to circumstance. I asked the gray-haired scout how it felt to win the Strasburg lottery. "We didn't win," he said. "We earned it. A lot of pain came with that." He introduced himself as Bob, who scouted "a little bit of everything." I later found out he was Bob Boone.
By the seventh inning, we were back behind home plate, when Strasburg showed another rare talent: overdrive. Approaching the 100-pitch mark, he caught the first batter looking with nothing but fastballs: 94, 95, 96, 96 and 96 mph. The second struck out swinging: 97, 96, 95, 97, 97 mph. Beside me, former Royals shortstop Kurt Stillwell was on the phone. "He just turned on overdrive," he raved, while Strasburg caught the third batter looking with an 82 mph changeup.
I asked Stillwell whom he was working for, and he just pointed at his notebook. The letterhead said "Scott Boras Corporation." The scouts were tight-lipped. Maybe he could comment? "I can be a fan," he said, acknowledging the strictures of NCAA rules. "But he's the best I've ever seen, let's put it that way." As Strasburg moved to the bench, after clinching a 12-0 regular-season record, I couldn't disagree.

Canadian Forces in Haiti 'until we are ordered to leave'
Despite adding further strain to an already stretched military, Canada's ever-expanding mission in this earthquake-ravaged Caribbean country could go on indefinitely.
Share via Email
JACMEL, HAITI–Despite adding further strain to an already stretched military, Canada's ever-expanding mission in this earthquake-ravaged Caribbean country could go on indefinitely.
"We'll be here until we are ordered to leave," says Col. Bruce Ewing, commanding officer of Canada's elite Disaster Assistance Response Team.
A normal DART mission lasts 40 days. But as Ewing points out, for the past three weeks the Canadian government has increased the number of troops being deployed here, and now says it will add a further 500 troops, leaving him unsure how long he will be here.
Based in Jacmel, a port city on Haiti's south shore, and in Léogâne, epicentre of the earthquake, the Canadians say they are having an easier time doling out food rations – 2,500 meals a day – to the masses than their UN counterparts, who continue to struggle to feed riotous Haitians in the capital.
In Jacmel, the hometown of Governor General Michaëlle Jean, DART is treating more than 300 patients a day.
The team is also purifying 26,000 litres of water per day from seawater obtained from Jacmel's port, which DART members say is not even safe to swim in, let alone drink from.
Unlike in Port-au-Prince, where there exists a sense of disdain among Haitians who feel the UN has done little to better their lives, the people of Jacmel seem genuinely happy to have the Canadians in town.
On Thursday, the team delivered a baby girl, Monique-Lucie Marie, in a canvas tent in their seaside hospital.
The girl's parents named her after the two Canadian medical technicians who helped deliver her.
The DART also sent a mobile medical team into the field Sunday for the first time in Haiti and received as much gratitude from their patients as they gave in medicine and bandages.
"I never saw so many smiles on the med techs' faces as there was at the end of the day," said Capt. Rob Ennis, a Canadian Forces doctor based at CFB Gagetown, N.B. "It was a fantastic day for all of us."
The team spent the day in a small community called Tom Gato, about 15 kilometres from the village of Léogâne.
Canadian Forces here have also managed to get Jacmel's airstrip (the second-largest airport in Haiti) back in operation and are assisting with air traffic control operations that have seen as many as 180 planes and helicopters go through the airport in a 24-hour span.
In Léogâne, meanwhile, HMCS Athabaskan has been anchored offshore for nearly two weeks, lending water and other logistical support to a Canadian ground force here that has grown to 410 personnel.
On Friday, the Canadian Forces set up a field hospital on the ground near the centre of Léogâne. The hospital, currently outfitted with 61 beds, was last deployed during the Gulf War.
By Saturday, only a few of the hospital beds were filled by Haitians in need, but the Canadians suspect that the hospital will see increased demand in the days to come.

text: This is an eruption and lava flow Information Update for Friday November 21st at 9:00AM. This morning's assessment was delayed due to weather conditions which continue to limit the access to the upslope areas. The assessment continues to show very little activity along the down slope breakouts and no advancement has been noted since Saturday. Numerous surface breakouts and flows continue in the areas from the vent to the crack system indicating lava remains in the system. The nearest surface flow activity and surface breakouts are approximately 3.6 miles upslope of Apa'a Street in the area just below and to the north of the former geothermal well pad site. The evacuation advisory for those residents down slope of the flow will continue and residents will be kept informed of the flow status and advancement. The Pahoa Village Road between Apa'a Street and the Post Office Road will remain closed and limited to area residents only. Access to the businesses and commercial areas of the Pahoa town can be made through the Pahoa Village Road at the intersection of Highways 130 and 132 and the Post Office Road. We apologize for any inconvenience the road closure may be presenting with and remind everyone that the Pahoa town center and businesses are open and accessible. Every consideration is being given to the reopening of the road as soon as it is safe to do so. Civil Defense and public safety personnel will be operating in the area round the clock to maintain close observations of flow activity. Civil Defense and Hawaiian Volcano Observatory personnel will be monitoring the flow activity closely for any possible changes. Additional updates will be posted as conditions change.

Johnstone out to make amends
February 4, 2000
Italy coach Brad Johnstone warned Scotland on Friday that his team were determined to make up for their World Cup flop when the two sides meet here in the Six Nations.
The two sides meet on Saturday for the new tournament opener, with Scotland walking out as winners of the final Five Nations Championship and Italy coming off three bad defeats at the World Cup.
Johnstone, who took over his ailing squad last December after a splendid World Cup as Fiji coach, claimed to have achieved all that could be done in the time.
"I've only had a short time with the team, I would have liked a further month, but as much has been done as could be expected," he said.
"I believe the players have great ability and want to do very well - to prove that what happened at the World Cup is not going to happen again.
"The mental attitude is far more positive now than it was when I first arrived. The players have trained very hard, become friends again and we can only go on from there."
Johnstone's aim is for at least one win and preferably two over the course of the tournament. And it is something he has also been drilling into his men in recent weeks.
"I believe strongly that every rugby team must believe in their abilities to be able to win," the former All Black prop said.
"It's impossible to take the field thinking you haven't a chance.
"I also believe that the ability is in the national team to win two games. But for that to happen, we obviously have to play at 100 percent of our ability."
If team spirit is something Johnstone wants to build up in the Italian side - it's something he already recognises in the opposition.
"I believe Scotland are a well-balanced side, they're very strong and they're the current Five Nations champions," he said.
"They're a side who don't have many star players but play very well for each other."
Johnstone has clearly been preparing his men for the impact of appearing in such a top-level, and high-pressure, competition.
"It's something we have discussed," he told a press conference here.
"I think we're fortunate that we're playing our first game in Rome, so that we can ease ourselves into the competition.
"But we're turning it into a positive thing, a marvellous opportunity for Italian rugby and we're looking forward to playing in those stadiums with that passion."
Alessandro Troncon, who has replaced Massimo Giovanelli as Italy's captain, made clear his own feelings but also those of the squad.
"Walking out there tomorrow for me will be a mixture of excitement and also pride - that I am the captain in Italy's first match in the first Six Nations," he said.
But he added: "The big thing for us is to show that Italy deserves to be playing at this level."

The three players, whose names were inadvertently cropped up in the Indian Premier League spot fixing and betting case on Friday, have been cleared by the Mudgal committee, according to reports.
Justice Mukul Mudgal committee's final report, which had been submitted to the Supreme Court on Monday, has reportedly named a key member of India's World Cup-winning team and mentioned his links with illegal bookies and match fixers.
Acting on the Supreme Court directive, Justice (Retired) Mukul Mudgal committee has submitted its Indian Premier League (IPL) fixing probe report to the apex court on Friday. However, the case will be heard on September 1. The Supreme Court had set a deadline of August-end for submitting the report.
Former Indian pacer Sreesanth said his outburst on `Jhalak Dikhla Jaa` was due to a back injury and a bad performance during the face-off which saw him being eliminated from the dance reality show.
Despite "six surgeries both in left and right toes", banned Indian cricketer S. Sreesanth has put on his dancing shoes to rock the dance floor of "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7". He says that the show was like a therapy for him.
Despite "six surgeries both in left and right toes", banned Indian cricketer S. Sreesanth has put on his dancing shoes to rock the dance floor of `Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7`. He says that the show was like a therapy for him.
After months of negotiation and dilly-dallying, former India cricketer S. Sreesanth has agreed to participate in the seventh edition of dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa'.
Almost a year after three Rajasthan Royals players were arrested for spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League, franchise CEO Raghu Iyer has admitted that the brand image is yet to be fully restored following one of the biggest cricketing scandals in the country.
Mudgal's report may have helped turn a page for Indian law and sports.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly today felt "sorry" for pace bowler S Sreesanth, who was handed a life ban on charges of spot-fixing in IPL.
He might be controversial, he might be aggressive. But When Sreesanth bowls, you can see the effort he puts into every delivery.
Suspended cricketers S Sreesanth and Ankit Chavan of Rajasthan Royals and 19 others were on Wednesday asked by a court here to respond to the plea of Delhi police seeking cancellation of bail granted to them in the IPL spot fixing case citing "evidence" against them under MCOCA.
Delhi Police will apply for cancelling the bail of cricketer Sreesanth and 20 others who are allegedly involved in the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing scandal.
A bookie arrested in connection with the IPL spot-fixing case tried to rope in Rajasthan Royals player Harmeet Singh but did not strike a deal as he felt he was "young" and could not do much for them, Delhi Police claimed on Saturday.
A Delhi court on Tuesday granted bail to two more accused in the IPL spot-fixing scandal case on the grounds of "parity" with cricketers S Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan of Rajasthan Royals and 16 others, who were given the identical relief on Monday.
Delhi Police has invoked stringent provisions of MCOCA against cricketer Sreesanth and 25 others arrested in the IPL spot-fixing scandal.
A Delhi court Thursday questioned police about the role of cricket batsmen in the IPL spot fixing case and asked "if the bowler was fixed, what was the batsman doing?"
A Delhi court Thursday granted bail to Abhishek Shukla, friend of cricketer S. Sreesanth, arrested by Delhi Police for his role in the IPL spot fixing case.
Former international umpire John Holder has said he was offered 10,000 pounds to change the course of a One-day International between Sri Lanka and Pakistan in Sharjah in 1993.
Teenage sensation Sanju V. Samson appears to have saved the day for Kerala after he bagged the best young cricketer award at the sixth edition of the IPL. The better known cricketer from the state, Sreesanth, meanwhile, cools his heels in jail.
