Thank god for that, not only can we waste countless hours watching the beautiful game but it also means the warm weather is back. Barbies, beers, shorts and wonderful lazy Sundays.

Murali, Sri Lanka’s gun spin bowler requires just a few more wickets to become the highest test wicket taker, surpassing Austrlia’s legendary Shane Warne. In the past Australian crowds have been hostile to Murali. I hope this year he will be treated with the respect he deserves. Mind you, if i could choose between Murali and Warnie in the side i would pick Warnie every time. Go Aussies!
