The joke is on Haddin

The story about the ICC looking at Australia's scoring patterns against Zimbabwe might have been a whole lot of nothing but, in the Sydney Morning Herald, Martin Blake says that Brad Haddin "went too far" in lambasting the notion to the media.
Players these days are well-trained in handling media, and Haddin has been around a while. He ought to have said that the ICC had a job to do and if there was an investigation, it was no issue to him. That he'd done nothing wrong and his biggest problem was trying to hit the Zimbabwean spinners off the square at the start of that game; that Ray Price, Zimbabwe's dart-thrower, cannot even spell the word loop, and is actually one of the better bowlers going around in one-day cricket. That would have done.
