I think there are serious 'travel fears' associated with Pakistan that do not exist in India at all. The situations in those 2 countries are vastly different, so I take Symonds' side on that one. As for whether he'll play again, that's up to him I guess. I reckon he will, because if he doesn't, he'll lose out on all the sponsorship deals he would otherwise get.

Geoff Lawson has left Pakistan it was reported on SEN this morning.

Just heard as well. I feel sick. Heartbreaking. Sparing a thought for Sean Abbott as well.

There are no words that can suitably describe that effort from Rhino. If anyone stayed up to watch it, I am extremely jealous.

He shouldn't really need to. He's toughed it out for years with a bad back to become one of the best batsmen and captains in the world. People are going to hate him because he has made them look stu

Howzat - 6 Bangladeshi's have walked out of their nation's side to play in the Indian League! Is it the death of the Bangladeshi's!?

Return of cricket today with the first day of the first test of the Bordar-Gavaskar trophy. This should be a cracking series. I think India will win it too.

Cameron White makes his debut, representing Victoria.

Ponting won the toss, elected to bat. Zaheer Khan bowled the first over, and had Hayden caught behind third ball. Replays suggest the noise was bat on pad, not bat on ball. Currently 1/7 in the 7th over, Ponting on 6, Katich on 1.

Katich out for 66 after a pretty good knock, highest second wicket partnership by a touring team in banglaore, 7 minutes before tea.

Can they get another before the break?

LOL NZ, isn't half the Bangladeshie team banned from International cricket now as well?

What's worse than losing to the Bangladesh Firsts? Losing to their Seconds!

wasn't me :) Cricinfo (hasn't Baggygreen turned into a useless website?) let me know that Punter was out, however i've only got the updates, and i'm sure harbhajan getting pointing will have caused riots!

Now i just have to put up with my indian mate at work tomorrow... he's already SMSing!

Michael Clarke needs his head read. Why scramble for a single with 7 balls remaining for the day to retain the strike. Out in the last over. LBW. Frustrating.

5/314. M.Hussey is a legend.

5/333 at lunch. Hussey 92. He is so damn unflappable.

I think our run rate is going to hurt us, especially if Harbhajan keeps bowling negatively outside leg stump. 1.5 days in, I reckon Ponting would like a few more on the board. With no Gilchrist or Symonds to smash it, maybe White will show us some fireworks.

Unfortunately not.

I thought at the start of the day we'd be looking at 400. That should now be considered a good score from now on for the Australian team IMO.

No middle order, which will become more apparent as Hayden dwindles and there's no Gilly to save the side.

Biggest problem is that i think we'll battle to take 20 wickets. India should build a massive score, but as they say, never judge a pitch (match) until two teams have batted

And if you thought Queensland's first inning score of 4-13 was troublesome, try their current score in the second inning of 6-16!!

New Zealand 7-118

What's worse than losing to the Bangladeshi Firsts? Losing to the Bangladeshi Seconds!

What's worse than losing to the Bangladeshi Seconds? Losing to them twice!

The bad light rule is nothing more than frustrating, especially when the Aussies were putting on the slower bowlers - White and Clarke.

MS Dhoni would be the next Captain in the second test. Is Kumble standing down immediately, Juice?

will be real soon, as he has an injury to his shoulder and his form has been woeful, the rest of the retirement group should be gone in the next year or so as well i imagine,

he is only 29

29? Geez he looks 40!

Incidentally the Vics are 0/29 in their Sheffield Shield campaign in the game against Sth Aust in Adelaide.

Kumble Confident of Shoulder Recovery

This would suggest a different story...

Hodge apparently batted really well the other day for his 100. Took about 20 of the last 22 runs to just get there.

Apparently hit a six bigger than Blizzard's in the 20/20 final

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
