On the weekend I played in a cricket match (wow) which was Guernsey Island Cricket Club versus the MCC. On the face of it, it sounds rather glamourous. In reality it wasn’t really very glamourous at all. The MCC put out a reasonable team, including John Stephenson, an ex-England all-rounder. The rest of the team […]
Kevin Pietersen - England’s new wonderboy - has really made a name for himself. Doubted by the cynics and critics (which included me) about his ability to play the highest level of the game, due largely to the fact that his shot selection seemed irresponsible, he has successfully proved a lot of people wrong. His […]
England are on top. End of Day 1, Sri Lanka bowled out for 141, England 130 odd for 3. But it’s not all tea and crumpets just yet. In fact, England being in command after day 1 seem a little familiar. I’m not going to be counting anyone’s chickens in this match… England need to […]
If you were Sanath Jayasuriya right now, you’d be pretty pissed off. Though if you actually were SJ, then you’d be unlikely to be reading this blog as you’d be much too busy spitting feathers at being left out of the test team for the second test between Sri Lanka and England, at Edgbaston.

With a 2-1 lead going into the 4th ODI against India, Lara is optimistic about the prospect of a winning series, his first back in charge.
“But as I said we’re not taking anything for granted. We set a target, India didn’t get it; we chased a target down today. So they must be a little […]
No sh*t, Athers. But the prudent observation is that grassroots initiatives are paying off - not least by getting youngsters involved in cricket.
Grassroots initiatives are thriving. The Chance to Shine campaign has now garnered £9 million in private funding and a commitment from the government that the National Sports Foundation will commit £2.5m per annum […]
One of the real barriers to the effective globalisation of cricket is the disparity in the quality of the teams. Australia have been the best for ages, England, Pakistan and India are close behind, with South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka bringing up the rest of the best. Zimbabwe, the West Indies and Bangladesh […]
Those cheeky folks over at Light The Torch felt it necessary to remind everyone that Australia are (and have been for _quite_some_time_) top of the ICC world cricket rankings. But, in fairness, it’s a well deserved accolade and not one to be sniffed at.
Officially, Australia are top on a rating of 131, with England trailing […]
I’ve added a new category (”In My Day“)to the blog, where at select moments (read: times when there’s naff all else going on) I’m going to look back at events that have shaped cricket’s history. If you’ve got any suggestions, then I’m all ears.

Whilst some people like to mislead gullible trusting blog readers about so-called newsworthy events, I fair readers will never do such a despicable thing. I will, however, totally abuse my position as editor of Six and Out to not only blow my own trumpet but also to assure you that I at least know a […]
