Taunton: England Test captain Andrew Strauss has refused to set too much store by his appearance for Somerset against India in the tourists' only warm-up match ahead of next week's first Test at Lord's. India, who only last weekend wrapped up a 1-0 Test series win in the Caribbean, have just one three-day match against Somerset, starting here on Friday, before heading to Lord's for the first of a four-Test...

Manchester: England coach Andy Flower has hailed the progress of the side under one-day skipper Alastair Cook as they prepare for series against Test table-toppers and 50-over world champions India. Cook, not even in England's side when they suffered a 10-wicket World Cup quarter-final thrashing by Sri Lanka earlier this year, marked his first series as permanent one-day captain with 298 runs at 74.50 and a strike rate of 96.75...

Manchester: Jade Dernbach finished off Sri Lanka with wickets in successive balls as England held its nerve to win a dramatic one-day international decider by 16 runs at Old Trafford on Saturday, clinching a 3-2 series win. Jonathan Trott struck a match-high 72 off 87 balls to lead England to 268-9 but the target looked within reach for the Sri Lankans, especially when a sixth-wicket stand of 102 between Angelo...

Roseau: Young opener Abhinav Mukund was crestfallen to miss out on an opportunity to score a century after his patient 62 laid the foundation of India's first innings during the third day of the final cricket Test at Windsor Park here. I am really disappointed. After doing all the hard work when the ball was swinging in the morning, I tried to stick on and then got out to a...

Manchester: Alastair Cook is determined to show the world that he can change perceptions of his batting style, and change them quickly. In little more than a week Cook has gone a long way to shedding his tag as a plodder. Before the ODI series began Cook had scored 868 runs at an average of 33.00 and a strike rate of 71.38. After four matches against Sri Lanka his overall...

Roseau, Dominica: West Indian wicket-keeper Carlton Baugh signed the ball for Harbhajan Singh after becoming his 400th Test victim. "He (Harbhajan) actually came to me after the game was called off and asked me to sign the ball with 400 on it. I pretty much signed it," said Baugh. It was an important wicket for the Indian team. Baugh played a counter-attacking 79-ball 60 with the help of four boundaries...

Sydney: Melbourne Renegades named Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi as one of their two overseas recruits for Australia's revamped domestic Twenty20 league on Friday. The former Pakistan captain ignored more lucrative offers to join compatriot Abdul Razzaq, who was also named in the Renegades' 16-member squad, local media said. Afridi retired in acrimony in May, citing differences with the Pakistan Cricket Board. Meanwhile, England's Owais Shah has joined Pakistani paceman Rana...

Colombo: Only three months ago, Sri Lanka were battling it out with India in the World Cup final but they have since gone from controversy to scandal to full-blown crisis in an astounding fall from grace. After losing the Mumbai showpiece, Sri Lanka have unravelled in spectacular fashion, hit by resignations, match-fixing claims and a doping scandal, plus financial woes and a rocky start for their new Twenty20 league. Trademark...

Roseau: Only the third Indian bowler to touch the 400-wicket mark in Test cricket, off-spinner Harbhajan Singh said his best is yet to come as tweakers tend to get better after turning 30.

New Delhi: Disappointed with ICC's decision to do away with runners for injured batsmen in ODIs, star opener Gautam Gambhir on Thursday said that a batsman should be allowed a runner at least in case of a serious injury. I think it is disappointing. ICC can stop giving runners for cramps but should allow runners for serious injuries. It doesn't make any sense that a batsman is injured but he...
