		<description><![CDATA[The Boxing Day Test which is played at the MCG is rather sacred in Australian sporting folk law.  In our introspective tendencies, we sometimes overlook details and one of those is that South Africa also has a Boxing Day Test tradition.  In fact, this point has cause a little chagrin in the past because the Proteas would like to host a Boxing Day Test against Australia.  But that is never going to happen...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the second time in six months, England has salvaged the first Test of a series, by clinging to a solitary wicket.  We saw it in Wales when they held out the Aussies on the final evening.  Now they have managed an even narrower escape against South Africa...

		<description><![CDATA[No, F50 is not Ford supercar.  It’s my new name for One Day cricket or 50 over cricket.  Or Fifty50, to use the Twenty20 nomenclature.  If last night’s slog fest between India and Sri Lanka was more typical of ODI cricket, we wouldn’t be so bored with that form of the game.  Or perhaps we would if every game was like that...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Chris, I take it all back.  You are made of sterner stuff than many, including myself, gave you credit for.  You are a rock.  A pillar of West Indian batting.  A study of concentration and self restraint.  I hope that constitutes an acceptable apology...

		<description><![CDATA[Three Test matches concluded recently and combined, they produced a rarity.  Not only did all three matches produce a result but the man-of-the-match in each case was a bowler!  Furthermore, two of those bowlers have been side-lined for the next Test with injuries.  We hear from many sources that there is too much cricket these days and the players’ bodies, particularly the bowlers, can’t bear the load.  But I have a new thought...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may have already deduced from the title, that this article is about Watson.  The title is obviously not reflective of what he is, but what he is not.  Watson was dismissed lbw yesterday.  Again.  Let’s forget for a moment that it was for duck.  How long will the selectors persist with the fantasy of Watson, “the opener”...

		<description><![CDATA[The Australian summer begins today.  While it may be five days ahead of the calendar, why delineate the seasons by something as arbitrary as a calendar?  Why not make the change of seasons event driven and meaningful?  Let the first frost, or the first day you need to wear a jacket mark the first day [...]]]></description>
