    Isn't sports betting slightly off topic? The ICC has enough on its plate.

    This, in my mind, raises another issue. Which sport is the most expensive? My vote is for American Gridiron (the Yanks call it Football). Salaries and equipment for 51 players per team, plus coaches and support staff.

    Hmm...(Australian Rules is a billion dollar sport these days)...but i would say Soccer (Gay-ball...nothing wrong with that mind)...probably takes the cake...some salaries run into the hundreds of millions...
    My too much money comment was in reference to players playing in the IPL leagues in India...most shield players dont even have to play for Australia these days...go straight from Sheffield shield to IPL and make a killing...its a business now, no thought for what team one is playing for...

    Tigers had some sweet dates. That's enough for me to play golf...And what does anyone think about Tiger dropping the ball illegally. A viewer had to tweet an official to inform him of the error. Some of the players think he should have dq'd himself.
