		<description><![CDATA[It’s old news now but I should acknowledge the great deeds of the Little Master in reaching 50.  No, he’s not 50 years old, although it seems like he has been around long enough to be that old.  Tendulkar has just scored his 50th Test century in only his 175th Test match...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most teams have a star.  Starting from kiddies sports (and possibly especially in kiddies sport) through all levels of adult sports, right up to international, most teams have a player who stands out.  To this player goes respect and glory but also a burden of responsibility...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2010-2011 Ashes series received a much needed injection today.  For the Aussies, it was a life saving injection.  For cricket and the series, Australia’s fight back is a good thing.  And who should provide the injection than the much maligned Mitchell Johnson.  What an enigma he is.  Jekyll and Hyde.  Hot and cold...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[England players must be licking their lips tonight.  Today, Australia announced the 12 man squad for the Perth Test.   There were no surprises about the three players who were axed.   And the rumour mill proved correct about most of the selections but there was one major surprise:  Beer may be served to the Englishmen at Perth.  The Barmy Army will be downing pints in the bleachers while their countrymen feast on Beer out in the centre...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most intriguing things about Australia’s preparation for the 3rd Test, In Perth, starting next Thursday, is who will play for Australia.  England, enjoying great success and stability, has just one forced change to make – Broad.  On the other hand, Australia has one forced change (Katich) and a whole lot of possibilities.

		<description><![CDATA[With the 2nd Ashes Test teetering on a knife edge in Adelaide (between England winning and a draw), I will attempt to see through the current hysterics of the fans of Australian cricket.  The bowling analysis reads badly – over one thousand runs for just five wickets.  Whatever.  I suggest that the gap between the two teams is not as great as it seems.  I offer one important word.  A word of great, modern-day importance: Mojo...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, it’s not Phil Tufnell – it’s the Australian cricket team.  But I do an injustice to the Englishmen.  It’s not that Australia are totally hopeless.  Not totally.  Credit where credit is due.  England are simply a superior team in all respects.  They have brought better players and they are better prepared.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second Test has ended in a draw, as many thought it must, given the limits of time.  If there was one more day, or unlimited days, surely England would have won.  They could have set Australia 400, 500, 600 or even 1,000 runs to win.  How knows...

		<description><![CDATA[The first three days of the first Test have seen a dramatic turn around in the demeanor of the Australian cricket community.  I will not harp on about the achievements of the team thus far, for there has already been much rejoicing, both on air and off.  Credit is due of course, to Messrs Siddle, Hussey and Haddin.  However, I would like to issue a cautionary note: Remember Cardiff...]]></description>
