Session Fifth IPL Comeback for Sreesanth

A Kerala pacer still recuperating from a toe injury at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore in all about time and then finally being able to play cricket.

"I have never thought about how others have performed. I love playing the game. If I was thinking like that I wouldn't have played at all," Sreesanth told HT as he patiently doled out autographs to trainees of a cricket academy in bangalore.

A day after the fast bowler was sold to Rajasthan Royals at his base price of $400,000, Sreesanth said he could not worry about what happened to Kochi Tuskers Kerala after a turbulent year in the IPL. "Honestly, I can't think about that right now.

I think I need at least 6-8 weeks to get fully fit," said the 28-year-old who turns 29 on Monday in the IPL starts on April 4

First Twenty20 Australia Win against India

Scoreboard:

Australia 4 for 171 (Wade 72, Hussey 42) beat India 6 for 140 (Dhoni 48*, Hussey 2-4) by 31 runs

And the 31-run victory for Australia over India in the 1st Twenty20 international at Stadium Australia in Sydney, which hosted events during the Olympics in 2000.

Dhoni says bowling first was the wrong move and he blames it on top-order failure.

There was a 20-minute rain delay after the 13th over of Australian innings.

“If a couple of the top-order batsmen had stayed for longer, it would have been easier for the new batsman coming in to play their shots with someone at the other end. But it didn’t happen for us today,” Dhoni told reporters.
