 1) Srilanka won the 3rd ODI in the VB series against South Africa and now are at the top of the table with 5 points with Australia. They also won the bonus point. South African's are at the bottom of the table even after beating the World Champions!! 2) The one thing common between Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Mohammad Kaif and Agit Agarkar is they all were picked from the under 19 team. And the coach Venkatest Prasad is very confident of winning the under-19 World Cup this time in Srilanka, in which we qualified for the super league semi-finals last two times before winning it in 2000. This Indian under 19 squad is sure of providing few more future stars of Indian cricket. 3) Do you like the newly introduced "super-sub" rule in ODI's?? Make your mind us as people have started to protest against it and its always better to know which side you are on. Here, an Aussie reporter feels that this rule can bring back the match-fixing conspiracy!! 4) Do you know that it isn't Sehwag, Srikant or Sidhu but Sunil Gawaskar has made the fastest century by an opener for India??  5) Here is some more news about the Doordarshan and Tensports tussle and the telecast black out of India vs Pakistan test series we are facing, specially in rural areas - where 70% of India lives! If you are hoping that although we missed the first test, our cable operators will provide Tensports by the time second test starts, - you may be wrong cause according to a newspaper, Tensports are putting pressure on local cable operators to increase subscribers and also the rate in order to provide their pictures. Now isn't that ridiculous.. 6) Meanwhile, do you know who was watching the first test between India and Pakistan at Lahore?? Nobody!! Mr Shahayar Khan said in 2004 that ODI's must be played before test matches as audiances loose interest and now when its happening this time around, nobody is at the ground....See India vs Pakistan matches for FREE!! 7) It was 26 years ago, in 1980 when our coach Greg Chappell toured Pakistan in his playing days and before the start of the current series, he had memories of nothing but flat tracks in Pakistan. And I am sure he is yet to change his mind after what he saw in Lahore. Here's what the two captains had to say after the match. Injamam has asked for sporting wickets for the last two tests... but didn't he asked for the same at Lahore as well?? 8) And if you still want more of cricket news, you may like to know that Glen McGrath has confessed that Australian cricketers must show more respect to the umpires. Formar Aussie captain Mark Taylor and English player Tony Greg has been critisized them of their indecent behaviour!! 9) Lastly, unimportantly, Pakistani young cricketers have decided that India vs Pakistan comes first to them, even before marriage as Salman butt(20) and Kamran Akmal has recently got engagged but postponded the formal marriage till the series ends.
