NEWS

Note: Due to server problems, cgi-bin routines are still not operational. Every attempt is being made to address the problem, and I hope to have them up and running by mid-week.

Aussie speedster Brett Lee becomes the 23rd player and 4th Australian to claim 300 careeer Test wickets. He joins Harbhajan Singh in this milestone, and together they are the only bowlers in this elite club to maintain a bowling average over 30.
