Fallen stars fall on tough times

Twenty-three former Australia players have called on the Australian Cricketers' Association's hardship fund over the past ten years. Ron Reed reports in the Herald Sun about the rise in requests since 2005.

Reed says the former Test player Paul Hibbert, who died last week and is written about here, was one of them.

Speaking of former players, the Sydney Morning Herald says Adam Gilchrist and Shane Warne will spend time in the Nine commentary box this summer.
