The Nagpur Police Commissioner, Praveen Dixit, confirmed reports of JeM threat to ace cricket player Sachin Tendulkar stating, "The Central government has issued a high-alert for Sachin...They have information that the JeM has issued a threat to him."

However, keeping in mind the terror threats on the Aussies, he took a U-Turn and said, "There is no specific threat to any individual player and there is no threat input".

He further added that the security arrangements would be usual and uniform.

Melbourne, Nov 4 : Australian players have been placed in the barely tenable position of being unable to train on the ground at which they are to play a pivotal Test match in two days’ time.

The Vidarbha Cricket Association’s new stadium in Nagpur was completed this year and has only previously hosted a pair of trial games, FOX Sports reported.

Its practice facilities are not yet ready, meaning the Australians and Indians have been booked to train at the old VCA ground, which hosted the 2004 Test between the two nations.

New Delhi, Nov. 4 : Thirty-one-year-old Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has resurrected himself as his team’s spearhead during the course of the Delhi Test, but still feels that too much has been written about his personal problems.

Lee fought to ensure the recent break-up of his marriage did not affect his on-field fortunes.

The thing that hurt the 31-year-old fast bowler most was the inference his family situation had affected his performances.

Nagpur, Nov. 3 : Australia is seriously considering picking off-spinner Jason Krejza for the final Test against India to be played in Nagpur from November 6 to November 10.

The visitors seem to be desperate about retaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which they won during the last series Down Under.

Unable to gain a regular game with Tasmania in the Sheffield Shield and slogged by an India second XI in a pre-series tour match, Krejza has now emerged as Australia''s last hope against a powerful Indian batting line-up.
