With all the talk about fair and unfair advantages sooner or later a case like this is going to come to cricket

Would cricket consider a bowler with a similar "disability" legal. What if the "disability" is in the arm or hand of a bowler or batsman?
If I remember correctly there was a batsman in Australia (not yet at first class level) in the eighties with either one arm missing below elbow or both? But he was not using any enhancements. Also interesting: Laser surgery used by baseball sluggers to have better than normal vision. Any batsmen following in their footsteps?

Looking for WMDs
Finding Woolmer murder details (WMDs) has been as hard as finding those other WMDs in Iraq. The reason may turn out to be the same: There aren't any. I suspect the police went for too-much-of-a-coincidence theory: Sensational loss to a minnow leading to exit from the World Cup coupled with a dead coach with a broken bone in his neck. It reminded me of the ridiculous Meadow's Law: One child's death in the same family is a tragedy, two is suspicious and three is murder.
The police can release the actual reports (if not detrimental to the investigation) and at least bring down the level of speculation.

Now What?
The insurgents seem to have implemented two strategies to counter the surge. The first was the capture of the soldiers. Now there are four thousand soldiers involved in the search and obviously removed from whatever they were supposed to be doing. The second is the expansion of the theatre into Kurd areas thus concentrating on areas where the military was not focused bringing havoc to a relatively peaceful area.
