Andy Flower resembles a French Vigneron surveying the Phlyloxera Vine disease that decimated Europe’s premier wine region 150 years ago. His batsmen are showing signs of wilting that, in the case of his middle order, may prove fatal.

No team mates yet.
Kersi,Sheek and Whiteline..Don Bradman’s legacy as a criketer is undeniable. With a toothpick bat and uncovered pitches,not to mention the lack of armour and dimpled batting gloves,he defined batsmanship. That he did not visit NZ and stayed on board the ship In Bombay does not detract from his legend.
It is a matter of public record his disagreement with Fingleton,O’Reilly and Ian Chappell. From my perspective Bradman did better financially out of cricket than his contemporaries. Ian Chappell fought for and obtained,through World Series,a better deal for cricketers of his and subsequent generations. One may well conclude that now it is out of hand with cricketers holding their Boards to ransom. For Cricket to prosper everyone concerned,players,administrators and broadcasters have to give more than they take. The era of greed is good and Gecko’s on Wall Street should be buried once and for all.
Looking back at Australia's first win against the Kiwis (23)

mjg, Hockey was introduced into Australia by the British Army and Navy and was devised as a means to excercise the troops. There may be some element of “class” why Australia has shunned Hockey. And this is ironic because Australia prides itself on its egalitarinism. Another factor is the lack of money in the sport. In the early 20th century Australian cricketers made some money from gate receipts and endorsements but Hockey remained spectatorless.
There is talk now of tapping into the Indian market and playing more matches in India. The problem here is that Indian Hockey needs to administer itself better. There is also a gap in the standard between the top four and the bottom four. Sadly India and Pakistan are in the bottom half. Most of Australia’s top players play in the European leagues to make ends meet. It is a great sport but Australians need to get behind their Hockey and the sponsors will come. It does need proper marketing. Not just in the Olympic years.

Kersi,Whiteline the following from the Indian Express 2nd march:
In a list of 100 most trusted people compiled by Readers’ Digest magazine, Sachin figures at the eighth position – the highest among people related to cricket and next only to chess champion Viswanathan Anand (overall 6th).
In the same list, IPL Chairman Lalit Modi, arguably the most controversial cricket administrator, has been ranked 93rd — the lowest rank for any cricket-related person in the list.
” While Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, ranked 97th, is also related to the field of cricket in his capacity of Chairman of BCCI (Board for Control of Cricket in India), but he’s more of a politician.
So much for trusting politicians. Give me Ricky Ponting any day.
