Kabir Ali retires with a Test bowling average of 27.2. From a Test v SA in 2003. Tough to get chances with the attack in those days. Shame he suffered so much injury. Good luck to him.

Zimbabwe's tour to Pakistan is now off.

[andy]

no suprises there.

[Aidan11]

Now it's back on again.

[Alviro Patterson]

Off, on, off, on, off, on. Is Shahid Afridi the tour director?

Brad Haddin has retired from One Day Cricket. He sees a lot of Test Cricket in front of him still.

Chris Rogers has all but stated that the Ashes Tests will be his last.

[Arthur Crabtree]

It'll be the last Ashes for Harris. Maybe Clarke, Johnson and Watson too.

Ahmedabad,Delhi, Nagpur and Bangalore get the Test matches against South Africa.
the test at bangalore should be good to watch since it does have a bit of pace and his a very good test wicket and india generally as a poor record at the ground lost to Pakistan, South Africa and Australia in recent times.

South africa should be happy with the venues with happy memories at Ahmedabad, Nagpur and Bangalore.

Coney was on. So it was a masterclass in sports tv chat. I imagine it will be on the Sky website.

I'm going to miss JC when he goes.

JC doesn't go he generally is the pundit for all NZ games for Sky although he doesn't do any england games if that is what you mean.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Yes. Though he isn't doing Sky in Leeds.

Strangely enough CWOTV didn't delve too controversially in the decisons the ECB have made recently.

It's as if the ECB have told them not to discuss anything linked to KP.

Could make an argument that JC and Ian Smith are the best commentators in the world. Its good that NZ are in town
