Wish that ICC would call a summit meeting of everyone worldwide who is concerned in cricket, including representatives of the players, retired veterans, umpires and anyone who has the long term good of the game at heart. Let them spend a week in heated debate about the basic principles which ought to guide the game for the next 100 years, let them set out who rules which bit of the game and hand down guidelines for the future, writes Ted Corbett.
The slinger's shocker A Test journey that began with an impressive four for 42 against mighty Australia at Darwin in 2004 has concluded rather abruptly. Lasith Malinga's Test record of 101 wickets from 30 matches at 33.15 with just three five-wicket hauls does not quite reflect his ability, writes S. Dinakar. IPL HIGHS AND LOWS
Mauled by Gayle forceWhen the West Indian stepped onto the turf at the historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata, he proved in no uncertain terms why he is considered as one of the masters of ‘batting mayhem'. By K. C. Vijaya Kumar. IPL DIARY Delhi's green googly “Never before was a Twenty20 played on such a track with so much grass on it,” the curator declared rather triumphantly. INTERVIEW/JEAN-PAUL DUMINY

By Andy McDermott. FEATURE Wenger must admit to Gunners' shortcomings There are reasons Arsenal looks like completing six seasons without winning a trophy. There are reasons it lost the English League Cup final to Birmingham, writes Frank Malley. KICKING AROUND GoalKeepers and their blunders Goalkeepers, over the generations, have long been prone to expensive errors. Even the greatest of them can have their disastrous moments, writes Brian Glanville. Trusted hands Jussi Jaaskelainen, in making his 500th appearance in Bolton colours in its FA Cup quarterfinal defeat of Birmingham last month, has joined an elite group of only nine other players to reach that landmark for the Trotters. By John Train. Advt Links: calling card
