Australian fast bowler Shaun Tait on Tuesday quit all levels of cricket due to physical and emotional exhaustion.

Tait, 24, has struggled with injury since shortly after being named to the Australian Test eleven midway through its unsuccessful Ashes tour of England.

He has played only three Tests, the last being against India in Perth this month during which he took no wickets. India won the match by 72 runs.

Tait, who was named the International Cricket Council's emerging player of 2007.

This is not an overnight decision but something that I've been struggling with for sometime, he said in a statement.

Roger Federer's invincibility was pierced, then pummelled and finally pulled apart at Melbourne Park , the world number one brutally ejected from the Australian Open semi-finals by Novak Djokovic.

The Swiss champion and top seed fell 7-5 6-3 7-6, ending his bid to reach an 11th consecutive grand slam final. Instead Djokovic will face muscular Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Sunday's showpiece.

Where third seed Djokovic was thunderous, Federer was ponderous.

This defeat inflicted on Federer his first straight-sets loss since losing to Gustavo Kuerten in the 2004 French Open.

The holder of 12 grand slam crowns, his chase of Pete Sampras's record 14 is now on ice until the French Open.

Serb Djokovic was simply too strong, too steady. Where Federer inched past Djokovic in the last grand slam final, the U.S. Open in September, this time the Serb was always a nose ahead.

Companies paid millions of dollars  to buy the eight franchises of the Indian cricket board's Twenty20 Indian Premier league (IPL).

Reliance Industries Ltd, successfully bid $111.9 million for the Mumbai team.

United Breweries Ltd, owned by billionaire Vijay Mallya, who last year bought into Formula One team Spyker and renamed it Force India, snapped up Bangalore for $111.6 million.

The base price for owing a team for 10 years was set at $50 million. The inaugural event will be held in April.

The league, expected to feature many of the game's top players, is an effort to counter an unofficial Indian Twenty20 league which began late last year.

Eleven companies --- some a consortium of individuals --- were in the race to own teams from a choice of 12 cities where the franchises would be based.

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan was part of the consortium that clinched Kolkata for $75.09 million, while infrastructure company GMR Holdings won the Delhi franchise for $84 million.

Mohali went for $76 million to a syndicate that included Bollywood actress Preity Zinta while media group Deccan Chronicle won Hyderabad for $107.01 million.

Liverpool fans are planning a huge protest against the club's American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett when their side take on Aston Villa in the Premier League at Anfield on Monday.

The protest has been orchestrated by Liverpool fans angry about Hicks and Gillett's plans for the club and whether they intend to sell it to Dubai International Capital, the investment arm of the Dubai Government.

Hicks and Gillett, who bought the club 11 months ago for 220.0 million pounds ($428.8 million), are currently trying to organise a 300 million pound refinancing deal with banks.

That would allow them to refinance their original deal, repay loans taken out to buy players last year and to commence work on a new stadium.

If the debt is not re-financed within the next three weeks, the interest repayments on it would rocket to around 30.0 million pounds a year.

DIC, who were outbid when Hicks and Gillett bought the club a year ago, are now widely reported by the British media to be considering a renewed bid.

Hicks angered Liverpool's fans last week and undermined manager Rafa Benitez when he revealed the club had spoken to former Germany coach Juergen Klinsmann about possibly taking over as coach.

Very few teams come to the Western Australian capital and inflict heavy defeat on the Australians. The West Indies did that, 16 years ago, when Curtly Ambrose' inspired spell of 7 wickets for 1 run destroyed the Aussies. But, that was a different era. India, came into this match with a big point to prove. Bruised and battered in the previous two test matches in the series, they left the baggage of controversy behind and moved on to Freemantle territory to put up a spirited performance in the Third Test and clinch a historic victory by 72 runs.

The Indians had a single digit number in the minds as they took the field in the morning - 8 i.e. the number of wickets needed to claim victory. And eight, they got after some inspired captaincy decisions by Kumble, superb bowling by the quicks and luck. Their charge to victory came to a pause, when the ninth wicket partnership between Stuart Clark and Mitchell Johnson had other intentions for a while, but it only looked as though they were delaying the inevitable.

Irfan Pathan's fluent knock in India's second innings of the ongoing third cricket Test has earned him an admirer in former Australia captain Steve Waugh who believes the left-hander has it in him to evolve as an outstanding all-rounder.

Pathan, who came as nightwatchman, survived some torrid times in the middle, during which he was hit twice by Brett Lee bouncers, before unleashing an array of shots in his crucial 46-run knock that steadied the Indian second innings.

Impressed by his application, Waugh said, "Irfan Pathan has the potential to become an outstanding Test match all-rounder.

"The poise he showed to bat throughout the first session yesterday confirmed this," Waugh wrote in his column.

Waugh also wondered how the left-arm seamer fell out of favour and was dropped from the squad.

"When I first saw him four years ago I marvelled at the way he could swing the ball both ways and it has been surprising to see him dropped because of poor form and only appear for the third Test of the series," he said.

The former captain put forward an explanation himself, saying it was often difficult to maintain a calm head amid the adulation that followed success.

"...It is a recurring problem in India for youngsters such as Pathan to become flooded with rich sponsorships when they hit the big time, become a bit starstruck by it all, then stop doing the little things that got them there in the first place," he said.

According to him, Yuvraj Singh too fell victim to the syndrome.

"Yuvraj Singh is the obvious example. He lost his way after the stardom of hitting six sixes in a Twenty20 match and simply does not look the finished article as an international player," Waugh said.

He felt the stint in the wilderness made Irfan a better player.

"Time out of the side has given Pathan more balance in life and hardened his game," he said.

Waugh also felt that fitness, or rather lack of it, of the senior players had hampered India's progress.
