Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ka whakawhirinaki a UKIP ki te kaitohutohu patu patu o Ingarangi a Graham Thorpe ki te pooti mo ratou i te Pōti Whānui o te marama e whai ake nei. I whakapuakina e Thorpe i te haerenga a Ingarangi Lions ki Awherika ki te Tonga i hainatia e ia he puka tautoko i te roopu matau i te tau kua hipa. Engari e whakaae ana ia i riro tana tautoko UKIP i a ia e haurangi ana, a, e hiahia ana te maui o mua o Surrey inaianei ki te mohio atu mo o raatau kaupapa here, ka whakaputaina i tenei wiki. Ka whakawhirinaki a UKIP ki te kaitohutohu patu patu o Ingarangi a Graham Thorpe ki te pōti mō rātou i te Pōti Whānui. I whakapuakina e Thorpe kua hainatia e ia he puka tautoko i te rōpū matau, e arahina ana e Nigel Farage, i te tau kua hipa. Ka mea a Thorpe mo te huarahi UKIP: "I te wa i inu noa ahau i etahi inu. Na ka pānui ahau i ngā whakaaturanga katoa i mua i te whakatau.<unk> Ko etahi atu kaitakaro kirikiti rongonui e hono ana ki te UKIP ko Sir Ian Botham me Geoffrey Boycott engari ka whakakahore te tokorua ki tetahi hononga. I kī a Botham ko te whakapae e hiahia ana a UKIP kia tū ia ki te Kōwhiringa Pōti ki a Ed Miliband he "kōhore noa iho". I kii a Boycott ko tana hononga UKIP anake na te mea he hoa roa ia mo te kaitautoko nui rawa atu o te roopu, te rangatira pakihi o Yorkshire a Paul Sykes. I kī a Sir Ian Botham ko te whakapae e hiahia ana te UKIP kia tu ia ki te aroaro o Ed Miliband <unk>total rubbish<unk> I tēnei wā, ko te kaitono o Ingarangi a Mick Newell e tautoko ana i te mahi mahi, engari kaore e pooti i te mea ko te kaiwhaiwhai o te kirikiti a Ken Clarke e tino nui ana i tana rohe pōti o Rushcliffe, kei roto hoki ko Trent Bridge. Kāore hoki a Adam Lyth, he mema o te kapa Ingarangi i West Indies, nāna i kī: "Kāore au i pōti, kāore taku whānau i pōti, ā, kāore au e pōti". Ko tētahi atu kaitirotiro, ko Gus Fraser, e whakapohehe ana hoki ki te tōrangapū, e kī ana ki te maheni Cricketer mō tōna putanga e whai ake nei: "Kua ngaro i a au te hiahia nā te mea he tino kino nga kaitōrangapū, ā, ko ngā hapa katoa e mahia ana e rātau, ka tino whaia ki roto i te pāpāho. Engari ko te hunga Conservatives te hunga e tino manakohia ana hei tiki i taku pōti.<unk> Ko Adam Lyth, he mema o te kapa Ingarangi i West Indies, e kii ana kaore ia e...
E tūmanako ana a UKIP ka pōti a Graham Thorpe mō rātou i te Kōwhiringa Pāremata. I hainatia e Thorpe tētahi puka tautoko i tētahi rōpū matau i te tau kua hipa. I pai ki a ia 'he inu iti' i taua wa, a ka mea ia ka panui ia i nga korero. Kua whakatata atu a Derek Pringle ki te noho hei kaitohutohu kirikiti o Oman. E kii ana a BBC kaore a Peter Alliss i te kau i te uiuinga a Masters. Kua whakatūria e te kaitākaro whutupaoro o mua a Louis Saha tētahi kamupene hei tohutohu i ngā kaitākaro. Ko te whakamataku mehemea ka uru a Louis Smith ki nga Whakataetae o Europi. I ngaro a Mark Pougatch i te uiuinga a te BBC ki te toa toa toa a Tony McCoy. Kei roto i te rau o ngā whakamātautau a Jimmy Anderson ko te whutupaoro pōro 10 mai i Antigua.
