Muralidaran has forgiven John Howard for calling him a chucker but says the former prime minister faces a challenge to win over the subcontinent when he assumes the post of International Cricket Council president in 2012. The veteran Sri Lankan off-spinner, who has taken more wickets than any player, infamously refused to tour Australia with Sri Lanka in 2004 after having his action questioned by Howard and having previously been the subject of ''no-ball'' chants from Australian crowds. The then prime minister had been asked at a function whether Muralidaran threw the ball and replied: ''Yes. They proved it in Perth too, with that thing'', a reference to scientific analysis at the University of Western Australia. Muralidaran, 37, said his feud with Howard was ''all finished'' but noted that the subcontinent and all-important Asian bloc of the ICC may need more convincing. ''At the time I thought it was wrong - that was my opinion and he had his... details >>>

A famous football like incidence belongs to this day, after winning the match Flintoff removed his T-Shirt and waved it towards the crowd as footballers do after kicking a goal. This Day That Year – 1st Match – ODI against England. It was a 6th match of ODI series and England won it by margin of 5 runs. Flintoff delighted his team-mates by ripping off his shirt in celebration after he bowled Srinath to tie the series. It was his third wicket, and he earned the man of the match award after nursing England's faltering innings through its last 20 overs. Trescothick finished the series as he began it, mangling the seamers' figures in a majestic 95 from 80 balls. But after England collapsed against Harbhajan to a quixotic 174 for seven from 30 overs, it was Flintoff who helped to retrieve the situation, adding 37 with last man Gough. A target of 256 appeared all too attainable as Ganguly creamed four sixes in his 80. Then Giles enjoyed a brief flashback... details >>>

Hobart: Aussie captain Ricky Ponting's theory that the summer's meagre one-day crowds are due to a glut of matches, rather than the poor performances of Pakistan and the West Indies, has been given short shrift by Cricket Australia. Just 15,538 were at the MCG on Friday night to watch Australia confirm its unbeaten summer in Tests and one-day internationals by thrashing the West Indies by 125 runs. That was 39 per cent lower than the 25,463 that attended the ground for the first match of the West Indies series a fortnight ago. Ponting rejected the suggestion Australia's 9-0 whitewash of the touring teams was the primary reason so few supporters attended the one-day series. ''I'm not sure if the lack of contest had anything to do with it at all to tell the truth. I just think that we've played a whole lot. Look at all the days of cricket the public have had to pay and go and watch during the summer. I think that's probably the reason why the numbers have... details >>>
