FIRST INNINGS
"I fear 2008 will see the rebirth of the buffet or
declaration bowler. With the number of overs per day in the championship
being reduced from 104 to 96, but no change to the system for scoring first
innings bonus points, we could, on decent wickets, be well into the third
day before the second digs start. I have said it before, but I'll say it
again, I trust the players' wages will also be cut by 7.5%."
KEENOSE KOMMENTS
"Our new Libriarian was shown as an "unsung
hero" in Direct Hit, after just four weeks in the job. What next -
Pedro Collins being named as Player of the Year at the end of March?"
NEWS DIGEST
"Mark Butcher added: 'Harbhajan was a pleasure to captain. I'm
surprised at the racism suggestion and of course that is unacceptable if it
is true, but it is a bit rich of the Aussies to complain about sledging when
they invented it. Andrew Symonds is never backwards in coming forwards and
it is interesting to me that Harbhajan was batting when this happened. In my
time in the game a batsman has never started a sledging incident.'"
