I really ought to be writing about the IPL. But can't it wait just a little longer? There'll be time enough for it with a game every single day just around the corner. Chrispy rounds out a World Test cricket XI:

So the Test XI of 2007-2008, as indicated by the statistics, is as follows:

Neil McKenzie (SAF)

Mahela Jayawardene (c) (SRL)
Shivnarine Chanderpaul (WIN)
Andrew Symonds (AUS)
Kamran Akmal (wk) (PAK)
Brett Lee (AUS)

Q writes about the Shoaib "trial" in front of the Pakistan Senate Committee on Sport:

Enver Baig also said that "the Government should revamp the PCB set up and sack the Chairman Nasim Ashraf because he and his staff members were not professionals and they had ruined Pakistan cricket".

Considering that Enver Baig is a member of the PPP, the political party that leads the coalition Government, this demand will not fall on deaf ears. Nasim Ahraf's days are numbered.
