FOR ENGLAND FANS (LIKE ME): England are dominating Australia at the moment. Nothing summed it up better than Stuart Broad working over Michael Clarke, resulting a short ball fending off to a close in fielder. Perfect planning, perfect field placement, perfect execution. I’m hoping for a 5-0 series result to make up for last years 6-1.
FOR TEST MATCH CRICKET FANS: Who would have thought that the BCCI would be at the forefront of protecting Test Cricket? The BCCI and Cricket Australia have agreed to turn a meaningless 7 ODI series into two Tests and three ODIs. I don’t like two test series, but it is certainly better than nothing. The BCCI are doing their part to protect India’s Test ranking and help Sachin Tendulkar extend his career aggregate, they have gone from having no scheduled tests in the short term to four coming up, and good on them. India’s Test suuccess will be the biggets factor in protecing the preeminence of Test cricket so long may it continue!
