Live Cricket Returns - with a blackout!
Whats the black image on the right all about I bet you’re wondering right now… Well apparently there is a news blackout of the Australia – Sri Lanka game going on at the Gabba right now, leaving you to come here for the latest news!
I think its all to do with certain companies like Reuters not being allowed to “own” the images they take, as Cricket Australia want the rights. Well that goes against everything these photographic companies were set up for so the likelihood is a lack of images from the current series! So onto my take on the day’s events…..
Well unfortunately, I’m not in Australia this winter like last (no matter how much I wish I was), and I managed to watch only one over when I woke up this morning so I’m not really in the right place to tell you what went on either! I was quite surprised when I head that Jayawardene had won the toss and put the Aussies in to bat (obviously not learning from Nasser Hussain a few years ago!), but some time was lost to rain and maybe it seemed like the right thing to do. However, Phil Jacques showed how he wanted the opening spot with Hayden, scoring a century before charging down the track to Murali, missing the ball and getting stumped! There’s no doubt that Australia are in the best position at the moment, but the game is only one day old..
There are two other games going on today as well – South Africa host New Zealand in a test match and lost skipper Graham Smith for only 1 run before I left for work this morning, and that should be an interesting game. India and Pakistan play their second one dayer today as well, which means that the highlights on skysports this evening should be action packed! Just as well really, as nothing is going on in England terms at the moment…
