India vs. SA:
very heavy fog delayed start, but after a while SA declared at 510/9 (Andrew Hall 163, Kumble 6-131). India are currently 181/0, with Sehwag and Gambhir each in the 80's, and currently makin history as this is India's best opening partnership ever against SA. India cruisin at this stage and match looks to be goin to a draw with only 2 days left after today
in other news; Harbhajan Singh has signed a deal to play county cricket with Surrey this season

For all the unlightened ones, here is an explanation of cricket (yes i know its old)...which im sure will make the game a lot clearer. (read it aloud...it makes even more sense then)
You have two sides one out in the field and one in .
Each man that's in the side that's in goes out and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out .
When they are all out the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out .
Sometimes you get men still in and not out .
When both sides have been in and out including the not outs , THAT'S THE END OF THE GAME ! HOWZAT!!
Cheers....btw...Sehwag...luckiest batsman in the world

lol, nice explanation giri! 
anyway, here's the latest:
India vs. SA
After an opening stand of 218 (India's 2nd best opening stand ever i think!) India is well on their way to a position from which they can't lose. Gautam Gambhir was unlucky to go for 96 but Virender Sehwag made a beautiful 164 (in half the balls Andrew Hall took to score his 163) and passed 1000 runs for the year 2004, he is having the time of his life. At the moment India is 358/3, with Sachin being bowled when only on 3. He definately needs to sort himself out soon, because we all miss the old Sachin!

today's latest
India vs. SA
Match turned out to be a draw. India lost something like 7 wickets for 70-odd runs which shows how out of form out batsmen are
Sourav Ganguly's Suspension hearing is tomorrow, we'll have to wait and see how many matches he will miss.
that's about it 8)

lol, i would think so unless Aus is creaming the poms!
this comin ashes series looks to be a very good one tho, England in good form (won 10/11 matches in 2004) and seem to be the only team to challenge Aus in world cricket atm

been busy of late but here's the latest
After 2 days of play, South Africa batted first and scored 305, which included a great Kallis century, and Indians are now 129/1
5th day of play and Australia is kickin New Zealand's arse all the way back to Wellington. Kiwis are 160/7 with 304 more runs needed to win. I think we can easily predict the result of this one.
England played Zimbabwe in their first one day match of the series on the 28th and smacked them. They bowled Zimbabwe out for 195 and won with 5 wickets to spare
it's feelin a bit lonely in this topic, anybody got any comments?

I'm not sure if I can keep it alive by myself......not many interested members on here. I also don't have much time to watch the cricket anymore so I don't really have that much interest currently.
Have a nice trip mate....and Merry Xmas to you too.

well they did drop Kaspa....but most of the fast bowlers are being rested in one of the games so its not necassarily because of THAT over.
Good to hear TransAm.....are you an Englishman living in the US or something like that, not many American born people would like cricket.
