Events of the last few days

• Daniel Vettori, a big fish in a small aquarium, wins three prizes at New Zealand Cricket awards.
• What is Ravindra Jadeja doing in Board President's XI squad that takes on Australia?
• Spot-fixing controversy - a  big blow to cricket. Who's to blame?
• Champions League started off with a Mumbai Indians' loss thanks to their poor bowling. Somehow, I feel it's not worth following CLT20.
• IPL-4 format and number of matches have been announced. Do you think player retention will help the teams?
• No Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS) for India-Australia series. Will BCCI ever allow UDRS?
• It's all Dhoni on TV.  It's no wonder Mahendra Singh Dhoni regarded as the superstar of commercials.  It's better he concentrates on his game rather than these commercials.
• Really really surprised to see Mohammad Yusuf in Pakistan's T20 team.
• Sachin Tendulkar has become the first sportsman to be conferred with the honorary rank of Group Captain by the Indian Air Force (IAF).

An interesting stat: Muttiah Muralitharan is fifth on the all-time list of Sri Lankan Test match six-hitters.
