Cricket journalism has been the realm of amateurs. It consists of retired players giving their opinions, talks with current and past performers, opinion peices on players, blogs and that useless giant called Wisden logging all those pages of trivia (admittedly sometimes fun). With topics like match fixing, ball tampering, doping, and cricket itself there are real possibilities here for real journalism.
Cricket journalism has really lagged behind in the current doping controversy. It has not educated the cricket watching public about WADA or ICAS and their processes nor has it followed the steps each body has taken ( what documents have been filed? under what laws? If documents are not publicly available why not? etc.). Inquiring minds want to know.
