Ponting was reviewed by Cricket Australia (CA) medical staff in consultation with Dr Greg Hoy, a wrist specialist. “Ricky has sustained a tendon injury that requires repair of tissues that hold

As if facing the best team in the recent history of the NFL on their home turf in a prime-time matchup is not bad enough, the Eagles look like they will be without their regular starting quarterback Sunday night. Donovan McNabb missed his third practice Friday due to a sprained ankle and hurt thumb, and he is doubtful to start against the undefeated New England Patriots. “He’s gotten a little better each day, so that’s a positive,” coach Andy Reid said.
The injury to McNabb took place during Sunday’s 17-7 win in Philly over the Dolphins last Sunday. The injury came on a tackle when Dolphins corner Michael Lehan pulled him down. McNabb has started every game this season after coming back from a torn knee ligament that took place last season during a loss to the Titans.
A.J. Feeley is expected to start the game vs the Pats when and if it becomes official that McNabb can’t go. He led the Eagles to a pair of TD’s in the win over the Fins last
Hoggard is almost certainly out of the Lord's Test match
Seamer Matthew Hoggard is rated as "extremely doubtful" for England's first Test against India tomorrow after suffering back spasms in training.The Yorkshireman was expected to lead the bowling attack for his side at Lord's, following the news that fellow paceman Stephen Harmison would miss the entire series because of a hernia operation.But Hoggard broke down during a practice session today and was taken to hospital for scans on his back – almost certainly ruling him out for selection on Thursday morning.England's pace attack will now be severely inexperienced, with star all-rounder Andrew Flintoff also on the sidelines because of ankle surgery.With Stuart Broad already deemed a likely name on the teamsheet, alongside spinner Monty Panesar and left-armer Ryan Sidebottom, it will be a straight choice between James Anderson and Chris Tremlett for the final spot in the England XI.Peter Moores chose to praise Bro
UNCAPPED pace bowler Stuart Broad was called up today into England's 13-man squad for the first Test against India starting at Lord's on Thursday. Broad, 21, was included after fast bowler Stephen Harmison was rated "extremely doubtful" on Saturday for the opening match of a three-Test series after suffering a recurrence of his hernia injury while playing for Durham. Leicestershire's Broad, the son of former England opening batsman Chris, has played nine limited overs internationals but has yet to play in a Test. He was included along with Lancashire quick James Anderson, the pair set to compete for the final place in England's starting side if, as expected, Harmison is unfit. Harmison bowled just five overs on Friday in Durham's ongoing match away to county champion Sussex before being ruled out of the remainder of the game. The 28-year-old originally sustained the injury at his Riverside home ground nearly a month ago during England's fourth Test win over the West I
England could be without Harmison for the rest of the summer
Steve Harmison is a doubt for England's first Test against India next week after aggravating his hernia problem in Durham's latest County Championship game.The fast bowler was diagnosed with the injury earlier this summer but the England medical team felt that it was not too serious and hoped to delay surgery until after the series with India.But the problem appears to have worsened after he was forced to leave the field in Durham's game against Sussex yesterday evening.Harmison bowled an opening spell of four overs but when he came back for a second salvo he struggled to complete his next six balls and limped off.The Dynamo's coach Jeff Cook said yesterday: "Steve has aggravated the injury and is pretty sore. We will see how it is in the morning. England have been informed."There is no reason to suggest at the moment that surgery will need to be brought forward, but all we can say tonight is that we have to se
YouTube's co-founders on Thursday challenged the Pentagon's assertion that soldiers overseas were sapping too much bandwidth by watching online videos, the military's principal rationale for blocking popular Web sites from Defense Department computers."They said it might be a bandwidth issue, but they created the Internet, so I don't know what the problem is," CEO Chad Hurley said with a hearty laugh during an interview with The Associated Press.Hurley, Chief Technology Officer Steve Chen and YouTube spokeswoman Julie Supan emphasized that the online video company is trying to work with the Pentagon in hopes the military will reverse course or at least partially repeal the ban.
I have posted several comments in Agloco Blog yesterday and today as well. Other commentators are also doing the same things. It's March now, the month that we, AGLOCOians (refer to Agloco Members) been waiting for since November 2006. Agloco did stated that on last month, the release date for viewbar is on March or early Spring. That's this month. Everybody is so excited and keep asking about Viewbar whether it has been released or else. Its the right of the members to know EXACTLY when they’ll get the viewbar. Viewbar can be released in any date on March, and not necessary on the March the first. So just because today is March 1st, I don’t think that means the viewbar is going to suddenly appear. It's because people are waiting too long for about 4 months, waiting for Viewbar to release, so some get very excited like me! The Sooner The Better.We're basically selling "air" for the past few months. And this kind of selling should be put a stopping line now. AGLOCOians want to s
