England safe water hole for India
Rains seem to be chasing the Indian cricketers washing out their two warm-up matches ahead of the World Cup, but the Indians can expect weather god to leave them alone when the mega event gets underway on May 14.
Aussies less than impressive in victory
The Australians are 10 to 3 favourites to win the World Cup close behind South Africa (3 to 1), and who can fault the bookies who put their money where their mouth is ?
Rain gave birth to pop cricket
The One-day game was born in the Victorian capital in January 1971, when three days of persistent rain washed out the third Test between England and Australia. Today, the One-dayer is part of the cricketing fabric, serving up frothy pop music for those struggling to digest the heavy Beethoven of Test matches.
