Paul Kelso from the Gaurdian mentioned Cricket World in his weekly blog site titled the 'Digger'. Published; 25th January 2007.
"Broad brushed aside
The outspoken match referee Chris Broad has been gagged by the International Cricket Council after he used his column for the Cricket World website to explain his decision to ban South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs for two matches after he racially abused Pakistani supporters. The former England opener has contributed to Cricket World for three months with the knowledge of the ICC, but his views on Gibbs' outburst at Centurion earlier this month - the opener called Pakistani spectators "animals" - were too much for the ICC. Broad's gag comes as ICC chief executives meet to discuss the role of match referees after last summer's abandoned Test at The Oval. It is likely they will enhance the power of referees, and undermine that of umpires, by giving them the final decision on whether matches should be abandoned."
