[The Outsider]

Will they play Sreesanth' date=' a big questions, as Ishant is struggling with his action and rhythm?[/quote'] He still is? I thought firing Prasad was supposed to have fixed that?

[The Outsider]

I don't think they'll drop Herath - they might bring in Mendis in place of Prasad and have Mathooze open the bowling.

Mendis :yay:

He still is? I thought firing Prasad was supposed to have fixed that?

he is not getting much time away from international cricket to work on that. It is a time consuming job to work on that and his personal coach may know better about him.

No cheer girls during Cuttack ODI The Orissa Cricket Association (OCA) decided not to go ahead with its earlier plan of cheer girls concept in the forthcoming match. "Looking at the unnecessary controversy over the issue, we have decided to stall the plan," said OCA secretary Asirbad Behera after a preparatory meeting held here under the chairmanship of state Sports minister Prabin Kumar Bhanjdeo. OCA had earlier decided to engage cheer girls with traditional attire like Sambalpuri sarees and display various movements of local folk dances during drink intervals and lunch breaks, fall of wickets or when the ball is hit for a four or six in the match. But a local outfit had threatened to disrupt the match if cheer girls were roped in for the match. The outfit had claimed that the OCA was trying to erode the rich cultural tradition of the state by engaging the girls to perform during a cricket match. The Sports minister today inaugurated the OCA Corporate Box in the stadium which would have 1050 seats for the spectators to watch the match inside cool comforts under AC with food, soft drinks and beverages. The price of a single seat inside this box is pegged at Rs 8000, sources said.

Sreesanth unwell, may miss first SL T20 December 08, 2009 18:30 IST India pacer S Sreesanth is likely to miss Wednesday's Twenty20 international against Sri Lanka because of an upset stomach. "He is not well. We are hoping he will get well before the game," India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said. "I don't know the exact scene right now. The physio (Nitin Patel) told me he was not well, may be diarrhea or something," Dhoni added. The in-form Kerala player, who did not come for the pre-match training session at the VCA's new stadium in Jamtha, returned to international cricket after 19 months in spectacular fashion, bowling India to an innings victory over the Lankans in the second of the three-Test series at Kanpur. He played in the third and final Test, at Mumbai's Brabourne stadium, which India won by an innings to wrap the series 2-0.
