The stage is all set for the second test match between India and Australia in Mohali, but it is still not clear whether the Indian skipper Anil Kumble would play the match or not. Kumble, the highest wicket taker for India, failed to pick up a single wicket in the first test match at Bangalore. Due to a shoulder injury, he also dropped two vital catches in the match. 

Commenting over his shoulder injury, the 37 year old Jumbo said, “I’m feeling better now, will decide on my playing tomorrow morning.”

The International Cricket Council (ICC) re-scheduled the postponed Champions Trophy to September 2009, and also decided to make a final decision on the location following India's tour to Pakistan early next year. The Champions trophy will now be played between 24 September and 5 October 2009.

Speaking on this, David Morgan (President, ICC) said, “The 2008 Champions Trophy has been postponed as you know. We now have a firm date with the final on the 4th October, 2009, reserve day for the final on Monday, October, 5th.”

Leading from the front, Hyderabad Heroes’ skipper Chris Harris played a match-winning innings against Dhaka Warriors at the Lal Bahadur Shastri stadium last night.

Cricket is one such game where one doesn’t know what’s in store for you, any point can mark a U-turn and turn the tables around for the seemingly loosing team. One such instance was noticed in the Indian Cricket League T20 match among the Chandigarh Lions against Mumbai Champs where the Lions were overwhelmed by loosing their six wickets when Sarabjeet came as a saviour from their front leading them to victory with his 41 not out in just 22 balls.

Andrew Symonds, the ace Australian cricketer may be very good with the game but it takes more than that to play international cricket. The Player was sent back from Darwin during the home series against Bangladesh after his deliberate absence at the compulsory team meeting to go fishing. Ever since, the cricketer is in great soup coz as a result of such arrogant behavior he was not included in the Australian Test Team to play in India.
