Aussie cricketers forget fear, fly to IPL
Yahoonews, Indian Express, 01 April 2010
There will be no rest for Australian cricketers Shane Watson, Mike Hussey, Ryan Harris and Doug Bollinger, as they will be heading to India for participation in the third edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 tournament.
Last month, the Australian players were caught in a security furor after a threat from a militant group linked to al-Qaeda raised the prospect of mass withdrawals.
But the threat was not credible, according to the Australian government, and the arrival of the last four Australians proves the rich show will go on in all but the most extreme circumstances, reports The Age.
Still, some Australian players already in India have reported concerns about safety arrangements to their union at home. One team bus was stranded on a bridge for 90 minutes, while other concerns have been raised about team hotels.
'I don't know if the security issue really ever goes away,' the paper quoted Australian Cricketers Association boss Paul Marsh, as saying.
'There are concerns no matter where we tour. We are now just playing a monitoring role on behalf of the players, which we'll continue to the do for the rest of the tournament,' he said.

yes, sania had a good opportunity as an indian. nothing would have happened had she lived in pakistan. she has a really backward thinking family (i heard it is her dad who still lives in the dark ages). living in pakistan will be bad for her. with a backward thinking family like this, maybe she deserves this punishment.

Jacob Oram is another immensely talented New Zealand player in the long list, whose career has been continuously hampered by various injuries. A tall all-rounder, Jacob Oram is an exciting cricketer to watch. Being a power-house batsman, the southpaw has the capability to smash the ball out of the ground. Considering his 1.98m height, Oram is surprisingly an agile outfielder. The southpaw is predominantly a one-day player but has also done a fair job in Test cricket. He believes in entertaining the crowd and it is hard to keep your eyes off the action when Oram is out in the middle. He makes great use of his height and generates pace and bounce from the pitch at his will. Oram has the knack of picking wickets at the right time and is capable of clocking deliveries around 140 kph.His performance in recent Test and ODI matches have been very impressive. If Oram is able to keep himself fit, one can see New Zealand winning more matches and touching greater heights, courtesy the big all-rounder.
