		<description><![CDATA[On a day when three Test matches ended, analysis has found it difficult to identify who is the worst.  Or best.  Depending on how you look at it.  Sehwag has continued his puzzling thought patterns and pointed out that India beat Australia two nil last time Australia visited.  Don’t get me wrong – India lost by 298 runs, following two innings losses. Ignore Sehwag.  They have troubles.  But there have been two startling performances today...]]></description>

While Pakistan must be happy with their rapid progress over the past six months, England and its fans will be anxious to make amends in the 2nd Test...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I made a discovery today that made me realise the current series between Australia and India may be pivotal in the course of modern cricket.  And this has nothing to do with Australia’s return to the winners’ circle.  I was concerned to know how one of my Indian friends enjoyed the match on the week end.  Jayendra answered that he didn’t followed cricket anymore and that he had switched to baseball...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Australia won the 3rd Test in Perth by innings, in less than two and a half days.  India lost their second Test in a row by an innings and lost their seventh consecutive Test playing abroad.  India has one Test to save some face and their captain has been suspended.  Australian cricket fans are very happy.  India cricket fans are quite the opposite...]]></description>

David Warner thrilled the crowd and the television audience with a memorable display of powerhouse hitting as he reached his hundred from just 69 balls...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The new Australian selection panel must be feeling rather happy.  It is true that since they started taking over for the South Africa tour, that it has been a rocky ride.  There have been some ups and downs to be sure.  Thrills and spills.  Both two Test series were drawn one-all.  But thanks to the current series, there have been more wins than losses.  And this series is the first time that they have dropped players in preference to others (rather than being subjected to the forces of natural attrition)...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Michael Clarke’s status as batsman and leader continued to climb, I found myself wondering if he needs a new nickname.  “Pup” may well have suited Michael Clarke ten years ago, and in many ways it still suits him, but perhaps an emerging leader needs a moniker that conveys more respect.  Clarke has recently played several innings that stamped his authority as captain but his three hundred carves his name in the record books alongside the greats.  Furthermore, he declared unselfishly and it was proven to be at the right time.  And on top of that he made the most important breakthrough of the day, claiming Tendulkar just before the new ball was due.  Michael Clarke, Australian Test captain is on the market for a new bat sponsor and a new nickname...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael Clarke continued his innings today to become the first man to score a triple century in a Test at the SCG.  All the better that it was the 100th Test at that venue.  Clarke never looked like getting out as he pushed his score to 329 before surprising everyone, perhaps even himself, as he declared between lunch and tea...]]></description>

The win was by a resounding margin of 208 runs and was Sri Lanka’s first Test win since the retirement of Murali.  They went 15 matches without a win...]]></description>
