Sammy To Lead Windies In The Shorter Form Of The Game Also

by Dexter Theodore

Darren Sammy has been appointed captain of the West Indies cricket team for the 5 ODI's and the Twenty20 match as the Sri Lanka tour continues next week.

Darren's first test series ended in an honourable draw after persistent rains ruined all of the 3 test matches played during the first leg of the tour.

Sammy said to ESPNcricinfo.com: "... there were a lot of positives but there is still a lot of room for improvements. I am learning to do my job efficiently and I would like to see personal improvements."

The ODI squad is Darren Sammy (capt), Adrian Barath, Carlton Baugh (wk), Sulieman Benn, Darren Bravo, Dwayne Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Kirk Edwards, Chris Gayle, Nikita Miller, Kieron Pollard, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach, Andre Russell, and Devon Smith.

Ashes Series Under Way

by Dexter Theodore

England appears to be recovering from a nervous start in the 2010 Ashes series down under which saw them lose their captain Strauss for a duck to the third ball of the day.

Cooke, batting doggedly, made it through to lunch but Trott, who replaced Strauss, after playing some attacking legside shots was bowled by a beauty from Watson, that drew him forward and nipped through between bat and pad.

Pietersen is presently 29 not out and looking in ominous form.
