    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    If India are to run through Australia on this pitch, it wouldn't be because of some incredible spell. It would be because the Aussies threw away wickets in an effort to put quick runs on the board. It has happened before - 2003 Adelaide.

    **Official** 2nd Test @Adelaide, 6th-10th December

    Reddy is in the side purely because they want some more batting depth. To some extent true of Rana also. The team management is terrified of another top 6 gone for zilch situation, so they pad the list with guys who can hold a bat. To be fair this worked in the first game, if india folded for...

    ***Official*** South Africa in India

    The fielding was so horrible that after one paticularly bad miss, the commentator just said "Thats just better not talked about". RP Singh the main culprit. The pitch is very, very flat and there was almost no swing for the pace men. To be honest, I think it wouldn't make a difference whether...

    Why Test Cricket is the Greatest Game of All

    They love the game so they play it. While watching they will support their home country but if someone actually goes on to play for the USA, obviously that player's backers will support the USA. Just like the Indian-heritage players in England.

    Gilchrist Pads Up For Channel Nine

    Chappelli can be annoying but at least he says some good points. Lawry is exciting and has become part of the aussie summer, really. Taylor is not bad but Healy and O'Donnel are both poor. And the legend must leave on his own terms.

    It will be Murali's last game in Australia most likely, hence the guard of honour.

    That's surprising, the sydney game is sold out, maybe if india wins the first final ticket sales in brisbane will pick up. Anyway, should be a cracker of a game. It will be the one last game before uni begins though :(

    I'm pretty sure he was injured - he was struggling in the game against Australia. Side strain or something, I think.

    Oh dear, that wasnt a great shot. Good tight bowling by Pathan though.

    Any system will be criticised by fans when their own team loses. I think D/L is a quite valid system and while it has some flaws, so does the other system you mention. Personally, I don't really care - its just an ODI. In important games like WC just have reserve days to avoid controversy...

    Sri Lanka deserved to win Was at the game yesterday, it was a lot of fun despite the rain. I was in a predominantly Indian section that made a lot of noise (as usual). Hats off to Sri Lanka, they played well and got off to a flyer and never looked back. They deserved to win. Was awesome seeing...
