An off day for all - Mithali
India captain Mithali Raj could barely bring herself to speak at the post-match press conference. Surely it couldn't have ended so soon for the Women's World Cup hosts. It wasn't even a week since the tournament started, and they were already out, going down to defending champions England and shocked by unfancied Sri Lanka. India had been knocked out of the 2007 men's World Cup by Sri Lanka too, an...
Gibson signs new three-year deal
Ottis Gibson has signed a new three-year deal to keep him as West Indies coach until 2016. Gibson came close to becoming the new Warwickshire director of cricket last week, having attended a second interview on his way to Australia, but the WICB were keen to retain his services and he will now take West Indies beyond the 2015 World Cup. He became West Indies coach in early 2010, replacing John Dyson,...
Tough for Taylor to return - Hadlee

Australia and NZ battle for points, Pakistan and SA for survival

Australia and New Zealand have already qualified for the Super Six, having won two games each, but the winner of their contest will carry forward more points to the next stage of the competition. The match between Pakistan and South Africa, however,...
India not taking SL lightly in wide open group
Sri Lanka have never beaten India in women's cricket. They hadn't beaten defending champions England either, until three days ago. No wonder India captain Mithali Raj was wary of Sri Lanka going into their final group game of the tournament, especially given the flat pitch at Brabourne Stadium, which has produced big totals in all but one of six innings so far. "Next game is a do-or-die game for...

Watson's Test recall not guaranteed
Michael Clarke has warned his vice-captain Shane Watson that he faces much stiffer competition for a place in Australia's Test team by choosing to play as a batsman rather than an allrounder. Watson will return to international cricket in Wednesday's ODI against West Indies in Canberra, ahead of the four-Test tour of India, having spent a month out of the game due to a calf injury that he aggravated...

They were bowled out for 179 in their previous match at the Brabourne Stadium, and three days later, the team put up a total of 368 here. "I must say this is a great...
