In July 2005, India skipper Saurav Ganguly had his international ban for slow over rates cut from six matches to four. Independent arbitrator, Justice Albie Sachs, upheld the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Code of Conduct and the process used to charge him but decided that the original six-match ban was too severe. Ganguly was penalised by match referee Chris Broad during a one-day series against Pakistan at home in April, a decision upheld by the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) appeals Commissioner Michael Beloff.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is the international governing body of cricket. From its formation the ICC had Lord’s Cricket Ground as its home, and from 1993 had its offices in the “Clock Tower” building at the nursery end of the ground. The option of staying at Lord’s was investigated by the ICC in the 2000s and a request was made, through Sport England, to the British Government to allow the ICC to have all its personnel (including those working on commercial matters) in London - but be given special exemption from paying UK corporation tax on its com
mercial income. The British Government was unwilling to create a precedent and would not agree to this request. As a consequence the ICC examined other locations and eventually settled on the emirate of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. In August 2005 the ICC moved its offices to Dubai, and subsequently closed its offices at Lord’s and Monaco. The move to Dubai was made after an 11-1 vote by the ICC’s Executive Board in favour.

Some of the key terms associated with Golf are: putting, chipping, pitching, sand play, and bunker strategies. The putt is used for putting the ball in the hole or closer to the hole (as in lagging) from the green or the fringe of the green. The putter is used for the putt. The golfer adjusts his/her putt to fit the circumstances of the play such as distance to the hole and slope of the green. The face of the club starts square to the target line. The club goes straight back and straight through along the same path like a pendulum. One strategy is to aim the ball 10% past the hole. Another is to look at the hole for long putts instead of the ball.

In the sport of golf, a penalty or penalty stroke is an additional stroke or strokes added to a player’s score for an infraction of the rules. In match play, rather than adding strokes, the usual penalty is loss of the hole except for penalties assessed for relief from a hazard or a lost ball. The term is also used in field hockey where fully protected goalkeepers are prohibited from passing their side’s defensive 23 m line during play, unless they are taking a penalty stroke. A goalkeeper who is wearing only a helmet and different coloured shirt may remove the helmet and play anywhere on the field and retains goalkeeping privileges even if they do not have chance to replace the helmet when play returns to their defensive circle. They must however wear a helmet to defend penalty corners and penalty strokes.
