40 seconds is probably long enough for the aging spinner ;-)

This combination of Chappel and Dravid works wonderfully well for teamindia. Now it is time to give them free hand in selection of team members with an eye on World Cup 2007. Our country is big and several good players are coming up. The method of rotating players and training good ones is the best way.
Wishing teamindia always best.

Just something small on the most dangerous and destructive batsmen. The ICC rates Gilchrist but I'd pitch for Sehwag. I'd love it if you did an extenisve story on the most dangerous batsmen in cricket today. Not dangerous in terms of high scores, but in terms of pure, passion-fuelled batting and concordian scoring and striking rates. And impatient, murderous intent. That said, I thought I'd leave you with a list of MY favourite batsmen in the world, in no meritorious order: Sehwag, Inzamam, Laxman, Afridi, Gilchrist, Sachin, Jayasuriya, Ponting.

With this list of charecter traits I would only include Lance Klusener who personlised the term pinch hitter - but alas, the slower bowler was his undoing - plaese recall too the name of Brian Lara -
