...obliged to do Westerns, and Widmark had an undemonstrative manliness that let him ride tall in the saddle. He's terrific partnering with Jimmy Stewart in John Ford's Two Rode Together and as Jim Bowie in John Wayne's epic The Alamo.

But where those national duties clash with the chance to earn quick bucks in India, players are already getting restless. Australian captain Ricky Ponting wants a window created in the calendar for the IPL, lest aging players make a calculated decision to retire early from their Test careers. Teammate Andrew Symonds, snared at auction by Hyderabad for $1.35 million over three years, has made it clear he'd rather play...
