Tendulkar and Raina Extend India's Reign
Ever since India earned the top spot in the Test rankings nearly a year ago, a few detractors have been crying themselves hoarse bemoaning this fact, saying that India doesn't deserve this honor. Much to their discomfort, however, the recent ICC rankings show India with 130 points, a level that the ICC's own site explains is achieved only by a truly dominant side.

Team mate Trulli was the more fortunate one as the Italian was actually able to make full use of both sessions.
Imps go down at Grimsby
Lincoln City's poor record at Blundell Park continued with a 4-2 defeat to the Blue Square Premier side. Only 32 City fans made the trip, a number that was probably made considerably smaller by the Echo reporting that it would be a youth side, as it turned out only one youth team player made the starting eleven.
Surrey Completely Clerihew Cornered

Notts or Nowt?
Another of those 'must win' games starts on a breezy but warm Thursday in July. Nottinghamshire played when we didn't so we have a "games in hand" thing going on.

Amlin Cup draw is kind to Glaws
It's not often in sport that a good result in the first game in a pool can virtually guarantee progress in a competition, but that's the situation for Gloucester in the Amlin Cup - avoid defeat in the first game at Agen, and barring major upsets they should be on their way to the next stage of the competition.
Northants or Glory
The T20 Quarter Final. We've done all the hard work but now have to face Northants without the bowling expertise of Kieron Pollard (who has played himself into form for Trinidad and Tobago) and possibly Ben Phillips who has a niggling groin strain. Arul Suppiah bowled himself into contention in the Championship and one day games last week but Mark Turner may be preferred.
