John Buchanan:It’s a shame that ICL players are ostracised 2008-03-12 06:59:42 Call them different efforts to cash in on what looks like a product with infinite potential or simply bitter rivals, the Indian Cricket League (ICL) and Indian Premier League (IPL) are trendsetters. You can also call them cause and effect but John Buchanan
feels these can also be looked at as parallel lines which will converge sometime in the future.Here as part of the gala launch of the Kolkata Knight Riders, the IPL team captained by Sourav Ganguly that he will coach, Buchanan told HT this was not wishful thinking but an assumption based on history. "It was the same with the Kerry Packer series or the tours to South Africa at some point in time. If you look at history, you will find instances of things calming down in course of time."The Australian who never played for his country but ho Read more:shame

I absolutely reject that suggestion," Smith told reporters."What was most concerning for Cricket Australia was the safety, security and welfare of their players on any proposed tour."His comments came amid reports Australia is considering a one-day series to replace its postponed Pakistan tour, even though it would clash with the IPL and Read more:Australian

Cricket streaker fined $1500 2008-03-05 03:57:24 A STREAKER poleaxed by Australian batsman Andrew Symonds could "perhaps charge admission" if he wanted to see how popular he was, a magistrate said today.In Brisbane Magistrates Court today, Magistrate John Costello fined 26-year-old miner Robert Murray David Ogilvie $1500 - but did not record a conviction - for his naked sprint around The Gabba last night.He was charged with interfering with a person engaged in sport and wilful exposure.Mr Costello told Mr Ogilvie, who pleaded guilty: " If you want to see how popular you are perhaps you should charge admission and see who turns up..." .The court was told that Mr Ogilivie, 26, had shown no remorse after his arrest and when asked why he did it, replied: "It was just something I had to do."Mr Ogilvie was at the cricket with friends and his b Read more:Cricket
Andrew Symonds vs streaker 2008-03-05 03:20:03 Australia's AndrewSymonds
turned from all-rounder to security heavy as he decked a streaker during the second one-day final against India in Brisbane.Symonds was at the crease as the man ran onto the pitch. But as the streaker attempted to evade chasing police he instead took a shoulder barge from Symonds at the non-striker's end.Symonds stood his ground and leaned into the streaker in a rugby-style hit, dropping him instantly to the ground in the 10th over of Australia's reply.The streaker was escorted from the field by police. He faces a fine up to 3,000 Australian dollars for the pitch invasion and is expected to be charged with willful exposure by Queensland state police.
Is this cricket? it's shame on you Mr.clark! 2008-03-04 23:55:57 On the verge of losing the Commonwealth Bank series finals, the Australians were seen playing it very dirty indeed.The visuals showed how the Aussies seem to be doing everything under the sun to deny Indians a win. India's little master Sachin Tendulkar was pulled down by bowler Michael Clarke in a bid to stop the ball and deny the Indians a single.Coming as it does after the Harbhajan Singh-Symonds controversy as well as Sunday's allegations against Bhajji, this once again highlighted the unsportsmanlike behaviour of the Aussies.

Kolkata Knight Riders Squad IPL League Indian Premier League 2008-03-15 08:23:32 Shah Rukh Khan's side has gone for the crowd pullers. Shoaib Akhtar, Ricky Ponting, Chris Gayle and Ishant Sharma give Sourav Ganguly a real star cast. Chink: Two of their four fast bowlers - Shoaib Akhtar and Ajit Agarkar - are prone to be erratic. While one frequently breaks down, the other often blows hot and cold.The steal: Umar Gul at US$150,000 must go down as one of the best bargains. A bowler capable of firing in yorkers under pressure, and who finished as the highest wicket-taker in the World Twenty20 in South Africa, must be worth more.Bizarre bargain: In contrast to the canny deal for Gul, the US$950,000 they splashed on rookie fast bowler Ishant Sharma is perplexing. While he has been outstanding on the Australian tour, he is still untested at the Twenty20 level and doesn't yet Read more:Knight
