Pollock's wife Trish gave birth to the couple's sec- ond daughter, Georgia, in Durban on Friday and is expected to leave hospital later on Monday. Pollock had also missed a Test match when his first daughter Jemma was born during the fourth Test against England in 2003. "There was never a chance that Shaun could have arrived in time for the first Test," said Gordon Templeton, the team's spokesman. "But he will be here for the second game and also the one-day series." Pollock will reach Colombo on the same day that the first Test begins at the Sinhalese Sports Club grounds. However, he will have enough time to acclamatise to the hot and humid weather before he takes the field in the second Test from August 4. Pollock needs six more wickets to join the 400 club. He has toured Sri Lanka twice before, in 2000 and 2004, and has taken 21 wickets in five Tests at 21.00 Sri Lanka apiece with a best of 4 for 48 at Galle in 2004. defeat Saudis AC Milan appeal against ban to earn AC Milan appealed its ban from Champions League play Monday in Italy's match-fixing scandal.

MSC 2000: Primary 62P99; secondary 62F15. Abstract: This article is concerned with the simulation of one-day cricket matches. Given that only a finite number of outcomes can occur on each ball that is bowled, a discrete generator on a finite set is developed where the outcome probabilities are estimated from historical data involving one-day international cricket matches. The probabilities depend on the batsman, the bowler, the number of wickets lost, the number of balls bowled and the innings. The proposed simulator appears to do a reasonable job at producing realistic results. The simulator allows investigators to address complex questions involving one-day cricket matches.
