ICC's new rules......

ICC Amendments to the cricket rule book:

(1) Ricky Ponting (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will override any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field.

This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE.

(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be seeked from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.

(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.

(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board.

(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACISM only.

(6) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFEREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.

(7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.

(8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING -THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain plays uninterrupted to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET.

all surprises

whats happening with FedExpress !!! Just unbelievable. But from the beginning of Miami he does not look comfortable. may be he was afraid of canas :-)

on the other side Serena did a fabulous job. But I believe Henin would be able to stop her.

Indian Cricket

may be we were little more predictive about the Indian team. Most of the Indian fans including myself were in dream world of seeing the Blue team in final/semi finals. One way it's good that they crashed out in prilims.

may be they can learn some new lessons from Bangladesh and Srilanka. Hopefully they would do well in 20*20 world cup in september, in Johannasberg, SA.

I am not expecting any more Sachin,Kumble, Dhoni in the team. Wondering how Dhoni is in top 10 list :-), It's shame indeed.

Well deserved win

India had a convincing win though it was against the beginers Bermuda. Now the scope for India in Super8 is warm. Let's hope for the best & the match against SL is not going to be easy.

All the best team India.
