Australian captain Michael Clarke survived Morne Morkel trying to kill him yesterday. He went on to be 92 not out at stumps.

Piers Morgan says Clarke's a pussy.

Clarke, despite getting hit, kept going across and back. Unlike Piers Morgan.

It seems that Australia can dish it out, but also take it. Unlike some recent teams that they've faced.

Been trying to catch whatever I can with this series and it's been pretty entertaining. Though, I still have so much to learn when it comes to this game. I have some friends that are a part of the sizable local Desi diaspora so I need to watch a game or two with them. Maybe the upcoming Australia/India Twenty20 match?

The Twenty20 World Cup starts in a couple of weeks in Bangladesh. Always a hoot, but completely different to Test cricket.

I'll have to check and see if SportsNet in Canada will be carrying any matches on their non-pay channels. I've enjoyed watching some of the IPL matches (when I had time) and I'd like to catch some of the World Cup ones.
