It would of spoiled the joke.

hmmmmmmm questionable decision by the Aussie selectors for our ICC Champions Trophy Squad.

6 pacemen selected and yet only 1 spinner, and the series is being played in India . Mitchell Johnson definetly does not deserve a place ahead of Dan Cullen anyway!!!

I'm also dissapointed that Jaques & Cosgrove have also been cut, i sure hope (no disrepect marto) that martyn has a horror series in Malaysia & ICC trophy, Cosgrove & Jaques have a lot more to offer Australian cricket than he does!!!

Common sense prevailed thankfully as Hayden was also cut!

Nobody. Its the same line up of Katich and the Belligerent Gilchrist.

I'm also disappointed as well. I wanted to see casgrove in action too. I don't know much about jacques but I hear he's an exciting player.

Well , I've just heard the news that the 20-20 match between the Stanford super star side against the proteas have been called off. The date that it was supposed to be played clashed with the dates of the PAK vs WI tour and they stated that the match will not be played again.

However , there is great news for the Caribbean folks. The stanford 20-20 will be back again next year from DEC 2007 - FEB 2008 and after that the 5 million dallars winner takes all match will be played. There will be more teams as well like Aruba and the French Islands and some others - I am positive you all ain't know a thing about these islands.

There are more shocking news as well that the Windies Legend Holding has quit from the WICB. He said that as long as Ken Gordon is there he don't want a thing to do with West Indies Cricket. He also said that since Ken took over , questions were being asked all the time - that can mean 2 things as far as I'm concern but am not sure which it is.

true.... from an english perspective... from an australian perspective though you may have seen me on the international news if he'd been chosen ahead of Jaques & Cosgrove... and it wouldn't have been for anything charitable for the ACB either!!!

John Lewis is playing great in the one dayers, definitely putting up a claim for a permanent place.

not able to go clobbs???? i'd love to... but i don't think i'd be stuggling to book me plane ticket

that would have been good. You have to visit the old country some time, so we can arrange a cricket meet up then!

*hops on plane* on my way.... be there in a day or so

just make sure akhtar comes in off his long run for the 1st 10 and i should make it in time

RANDOM FACTS

Did you know that before each test match at the Bellerive Oval in Perth, Steve Waugh, Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer would go down to a local resturant and eat a lobster! The last time they did this Hayden and Langer played New Zealand and they made an opening partnership of 223.

Did you know that on the 29/9/69 John Inverarity was bowled for a duck after the ball deflected of a fying sparrow and on to the stumps! However the umpire called it a no ball. He went on to make 89.

Bradman won the South Australian amatuer squash championship in 1935.

The longest name in to play cricket played in the 1950-60s. His name was Fijian Talebulamaineiillikenamainavaleniveivakabulaimainakulalakeba lau (i think thats how u spell it)   

I'm good at usless cricket trivia questions but i had to look up that last name.     

Were you aware that there are 29 cricket leagues in the US , I wasn't!! In those leagues there are 50,000 active players and still growing.

So can cricket really take off in the States , apparently not , a student said,"It's way too complicated for Americans , and too slow."

That supports my general thinking of Americans - go read the article on the BBC web site.

First it was Darren Gough now it is Ajay Jadeja's turn to take up dancing ,yes he is taking part in a dance cerial known as "Jhalak Dikh Laa Ja " on SONY .His first performance was yesterday and he was not too bad .Guess who is next ?
