Announcing the new Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge device, otherwise known as the BOOK. It's a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on. It's so easy to use even a child can operate it. Just lift its cover. Compact and portable, it can be used anywhere -- even sitting in an armchair by the fire -- yet it

How ironic that England beat the Aussies convincingly with stars like Kevin Peterson, Michael Vaughn etc.No Anderson. Yet Plunkett who has been in the wilderness together with forgotten Sajid Mahmood did the job. How refreshing to see Ed Joyce improve with every game.He and Mal Loye scored 58 in the highest opening partnership of the tour. Joyce then posted 103 in a partnership with Ian Bell who

Spinner Monty Panesar made a dream start to his Ashes career, taking a five-wicket haul (5-92)as Australia slumped to 244 all out in the third Ashes Test.He dismissed Justin Langer (37), Andrew Symonds (26) Adam Gilchrist for a duck, Shane Warne (25) and Brett Lee for 10 to hand the initiative to England.Monty is the first English spinner to take five wickets at Perth.He has bowled with aggresion

Pakistan leads the five match series 2-1.The first match was rained out.Samuels' century was his second in ODI matches. West Indies put on a high quality batting display after being initially rocked back at 11 for

After their surprising last day destruction by Shane Warne, Hussey , Bret Lee and Ricky Ponting England will have to raise their battered egos for another throw of the dice at Perth.Freddie Flintoff and coach Duncan Edwards opted for the veterans of 2005 fearing that those who shone earlier this summer like Panessar, Reid and Mahmood would not be up the task. It remains to be seen if after two

The game of cricket baffling to so many in North America was a passion for my father. He took my brother and I to see Test Cricket in 1952 and I became hooked for life.Cricket is a game that gives scope for many debates, for fantasy 'what ifs', for discussion of strategy and tactics, for reminiscences of memorable matches, bowling ,batting and catching feats and it is a statistician's joy.
