rlPaul Nixon was offered 'millions' to fix gamerl

Millions of rupees, presumably.

(Just checked, and right now 1,000,000 rupees = £12,712.79)

Good stuff by New Zealand overnight, especially The Phantom.
Watching a bit of the t20 series highlights while waiting for the rain to clear in Dunedin, I feel sure I saw a Martin Guptill misfield, but that can't possibly have happened. Can it?

Speaking of legends, The Wall. Man, hero, icon, cricketer of some repute, retiree. rlMore here.rl

More on Dravid. As you know, he's faced more deliveries in Test cricket than anyone else.
He faced 31,258 balls and was out 254 times.
That's a staggering 31,004 failed attempts to get him out. Truly, The Wall.

An average of more than 20 overs per dismissal.

India really missed a trick by not having him open in T20, he could have batted through every innings.

And congratulations England, number 1 ranked Test side on an arbitrarily decided moment in time and all thanks to the fact that it often rains in New Zealand in March.
Actually, you can lose the 'in March' bit...

I know it's been done before, in fact i suspect it's compulsory that when you start using a bowling machine, that you gradually crank it up to 80 and then 90 mph and video rlthe poor soul who is on the receiving endrl , to be fair to Chris who had the honours he look's [ireasonably[/i comfortable

The little master finally rlgets thererl - amazing record

Huzzah for completely artificial landmarks!

And India go and lose courtesy of some horror bowling and some long-handle from Shakib and Mushfiqur.

good to see Strauss & Trott getting runs before retiring, sounds heavy going heat wise

Bell, however... Needs runs. Soon.

Missed out again - a case for Bopara (fitness permitting) and Patel at 5 and 6 for the First Test?
