Hobart, Jan. 19 : Young Australian opener Shaun Marsh has said that while he is satisfied with the fact that he has scored five half-centuries in ten one-day internationals, he is unhappy about not batting through an innings like his dad Geoff did for the country in the 1980s and 1990s.

Marsh, who scored a 103-ball 78 to earn the man of the match award in Australia''s five-run victory over South Africa in Hobart on Sunday, left the ground disappointed.

His father, Geoff, was one of the rocks around which Australian cricket rebuilt itself, especially in the one-day arena - in which he made nine centuries opening the batting.

Sydney, Jan. 19: Test hopefuls Phil Jaques and Stuart Clark have been told by Cricket New South Wales CEO David Gilbert that they will not be selected to play in NSW''s Sheffield Shield clash against Tasmania from January 30 unless they play grade cricket this weekend.

The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Gilbert as saying that there was too much at stake for the team to field underdone players. The Shield match is the last chance for players to impress before the South African touring squad is announced.

Jaques has already delayed his return after experiencing discomfort in his back last week, while Clark (elbow) chose Saturday as his return date. If Jaques does not recover in time, the door is open for David Warner to make his first-class debut.

Sydney, Jan. 19: The Chief Executive Officer of New South Wales (NSW) Cricket, David Gilbert, today said that Australia''s latest batting sensation, David Warner, deserves another chance to cement his place in the side, though he is yet to play first class cricket for his state.

When asked for his reactions to the possible dumping of Warner after his no show in yesterday''s one-dayer against South Africa at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, Tasmania, Gilbert told the Sydney Morning Herald "That would be rough. It would be very difficult to form an opinion on a player after one game. David played a remarkable innings in his Twenty20 [international] debut and since then he has been under immense pressure, and there has been huge expectations."

London, Jan. 19: England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Chairman Giles Clark's quest for a second term is being challenged by businessman Jonathan Marland.

Marland, 52, announced on Sunday that he will stand against Clarke for the post in the wake of the crisis hitting English cricket because of the Kevin Pietersen - Peter Moores stand-off.

Sydney, Jan. 19: A little less than a week ago, there was a debate raging in cricketing circles in Australia as to whether 50-over one-day internationals would have to make way for the more popular Twenty20 format.

Mumbai, Jan. 18 : The national selection committee on Sunday announced its 15-member one-day international team for the upcoming cricket tour of Sri Lanka which includes one new face -- Saurashtra all rounder Ravindra Jadeja.

The 20-year-old Jadeja has been rewarded for his consistent performance i. e. taking 42 wickets and scoring over 740 runs in the current first class season His inclusion is stated to have remained on the cards for long time.

Jadeja''s Saurashtra teammate Cheteshwar Pujara, however, was given short shrift as the selectors kept faith largely in the players who had helped India vanquish England 5-0 after winning the previous rubber in Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has not been included for the tour because of a hamstring injury.
