When Michael Clarke first burst onto the Australian cricket scene he was already touted as a future captain.

After making a centaury in his test debut and then repeating the effort in his second appearance, many believed he would be the man to save Australian cricket.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is the greatest cricketer of all times. He has been with Team India since he was 17 years of age. Sachin Tendulkar was born in the year 1973 and is nicknamed Little Master. Along with one day as well as Test cricket he remains to be one of the top most scorer in the cricket arena.

Australia might have posted a big total in the first of the three test of the Commonwealth Bank Series against Sri Lanka but the Sri Lankan players almost managed to get there, and would have pulled off an unlikely win had it not been for a last minute collapse.

The confidence that this chase had put in the Lankan players was evident by the way they approached the second match against The Aussies, who are seemingly always victorious in their own Backyard.

Cameron White’s international career appears to be dead and buried, and his state playing career could also be in danger if his form with the bat does not improve in the near future.

His batting form of late has simply been atrocious, with initially his slump only being on the international stage, but now the runs have dried up in state cricket too.

Despite all of this, White will still go on to earn a huge amount of money from this year’s IPL, even though many England players have been unable to earn any IPL contracts at all.

The England cricket team lost to Pakistan in the 2nd Test of the series in embarrassing fashion in Abu Dhabi.

After setting up the game also most perfectly, with a solid first innings lead established and bowling the opposition out fairly cheaply in their 2nd innings, being set a target of 142 on a decidedly slow pitch should have been fairly routine for the team which is ranked as being the best on the planet.

However, sadly, the frailties of England teams that we thought were consigned to history sadly returned, as they folded like a pack of cards against Pakistan’s spinners.

In India’s One Day International against the West Indies, at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore, Virender Sehwag went on to score the highest every score in the format, with a blistering 219 off just 149.

It was an innings of sensational ball striking, as shown by the fact he scored 142 of his runs purely from boundaries. The only man to have scored a double century in the One Day International format before Sehwag was one Sachin Tendulkar, so he is in royal company.

The Pakistan cricket team has been embroiled in a fair number of controversies over the years, but their latest one also happens to be their worst one yet.

Some of the most prominent players in their lineup have been accused of match-fixing and there seems to be conclusive evidence to the fact.

Although almost all cricket lovers are waiting eagerly for the moment, legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar is not thinking about his 100th ton.

The Master Blaster, on the other hand, would rather enjoy his time playing the game than burden himself with the milestone or talk about the hype that this landmark has been gathering over the last few months.

Shane Warne’s return to cricket ended in defeat after his Melbourne Stars team crashed to a six-wicket defeat against Sydney Thunder.

The leg-spinner, who retired earlier this year, made a negligible contribution to his side’s efforts conceding 19 runs in two overs without taking a wicket, while his services with the bat were not required.

Australian Cricket's Chief Executive could be forgiven for thinking that the battle had been won against the match-fixers when the Pakistan captain and his teammates were sentenced and charged with fixing certain elements of the game, but CEO James Sutherland has insisted that the battle has only just begun.

Speaking to the press after the Pakistan cricketers Salman Butt and Mohammed Asif were found guilty of fixing the bowling in a match, Sutherland said that Australia, and the whole cricketing world, needs to be on the look-out for more cases, patterns in betting on Cricket, and that they need to be investigated as soon as there is even a rumour of match-fixing.
