Kerala is in the throes of Chikungunya fever outbreak with the state government enlisting the help of Army and Navy not just for the management of affected patients but also in municipal areas. Further information regarding the disease itself can be found here while more information regarding the continued spread can be read here.
To complicate matters further Chikungunya infection is misleading doctors in the diagnosis of dengue fever, which shares similar symptoms.

Suitable boy too!
After dropping Dav Whatmore from the post of coach the BCCI was left red faced when first choice Graham Ford declined the position citing family concerns. Not only that! Emburey who also had appeared for the position passed up with the irrefutable logic that he wasn’t prepared to be made the scapegoat for the poor Indian bowling lineup. The BCCI which was sitting smug in the belief that they will have no problem in filling up the post is now searching for alternatives. I wonder if they will have the gall to approach Whatmore again!
The Indian team is seeing changes with Virendra Sehwag being dropped from both test and one dayers following strings of poor show. Bhajji and Munaf will also be playing as stay at home cricketers!
Ahh! and one more thing Cricinfo.com
will be managed by same people as those managing ESPN and ultimately everything is in control of Disney -
A Suitable Boy
The BCCI continues to search for a suitable coach for the indian cricket team. Former Bangladesh coach Dav Whatmore was tipped to succeed Greg Chappell but now the field is open once more (inside story anyone?). Ranatunga and South African Graham Ford are other candidates being considered for the post. Whosoever will be filling Chappell’s shoes will have a tough job dealing with a team in disarray what with a number of players being out of form. Apparently Gavaskar is more in favour of Sri lankan Arjun Ranatunga as the next coach. read at HT
