England lost the one-day, actually they got thrashed

The three day game was a draw, some hope for England, as batting problems were sorted out upto a certain extent

WI are going strong, however, pakistan have this unique and great ability to fight back, especially in their own backyard and the way Younis Khan is going, what an amazing run he has had this year...

I really think he is a wonderful batsman, I have watched some of his long innings, and the more watch I know that he keeps it simple and has a plan...his batting displays his resolve and his convictions..his most wonderful performances have always come when the 'chips' are down, his application his diligent...his drives fluent as a whistle, and footwork hardly wrong...

SA/Ind game got washed out, perhaps one of the many...

Everyone is waiting for Aus/Eng game, the fans have arrived, the media debate has circled around racist slurs, Panesar, Shane (actually), Jones, and ofcourse Trescothick

I wonder is this shows the lack of competetion in cricket in England..in India no one would think of backing out, every oppurtunity, however sick, however abused you are...this becomes a once-in-a-lifetime-oppurtunity...

Of course there is too much cricket, the concept of 'cricketer' has changed over the years, and this not only includes the way the game is played or perceived but also the social setting around it, the demands of family, team-mates, county or clubs, $$ from advt, image management company...and of course the immense media scrutiny, which more that over must lead cricketers to be more self-reflective, inquisitive, self-analytic and that could affect the game and many aspects of the game
