Cordite #12 Nears the Half Century Mark

As the first Test between Australia and the West Indies continues in Georgetown, Guyana, Cordite #12, like a nervous lower-order batter, nears its half-century mark, sitting on 45 not out.

While it may not amount to much compared with the astonishing events of the last three days - Chanderpaul's lightning-fast century, Ponting and Langer's responses, Lara and Ganga in recovery mode - fifty entries posted over a two month period, more or less every day, is tough on any ground. Let's hope we get there.
