Common-Wealth-Bank-Cricket-Series-2008.jpg Itsonlycricket Notes
**Australian cricket fans, quite understandably, feel this 2008 Border-Gawaskar trophy is the last visit of Sachin Tendulkar to their country. And thus - they plan for a farewell to the master batsman, who holds nearly all of greatest batting records at highest level cricket! how, what when?? more info to come..
**We here at Itsonlycricket, believe that beating Australia in Australia is the biggest test cricket award. But, we also think after Glenn McGrath & Shane Warne retired - this will be end of aussie dominence on International cricket. do you agree?
**The India-Australia-Srilanka triseries is the last trination cricket series to be played in Australia. The 30 years old annual format (started by Kerry Packer) will be changed from next season.
**First India vs Australia test match, starting 26th of December 2007, is also called as Boxing Day test match. Why? known more at wikipedia.
**We've already mentioned them in our article - International cricket commentators, but as a long time listen - I suggest cricket fans around the world to listen to commentary done by Aussie panel of Channel 9. its simply top quality stuff!
