England get stuffed

England gifted the Twenty20 to Pakistan on a plate. England were rubbish and got stuffed by a vastly superior Pakistan one day outfit. Shoaib Aktor recently back from injury, and Mohammad Asif (just back) bowled accurately, reducing a promising 40-0 to 55-3, with KP scoring another golden duck, his second to Asif in as many […]

England Pakistan Twenty20 gets under way

I’m not going to dwell on the last weeks goings-ons. I could comment on whether Darrell Hair is finished (it certainly seems that way). But let’s face it - the whole thing has been flogged to death and it has certainly not run its course, and for people like us, the cricket fans, most would […]

Hair today, gone tomorrow?

Well someone had to make the joke. Darrell Hair has finally spoken up (in as much as the media have finally managed to print something) and has basically said what we were all thinking. Like everyone else involved in the whole saga, he’s sticking to his guns. He’s said he was just doing his job […]

On a lighter note than the ball tampering

The Pakistani ball tampering scandal isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Every day that new revelations about the scandal emerge from the murky media waters. And every day, an extra chip is taken out of the good name of Cricket. A lot has been said about the spirit of the game, and how damaging this whole […]

Ball tampering, cheating, Darrell Hair and being no closer

So a day has passed since one of the most controversial test matches in Test history since the Bodyline tour was officially forfeited. If you don’t know about this - where have you been? OK, I’ll let you off. There’s enough accusations flying around without me starting on you. Sorry.
Anyway - 24 hours on and […]

The Oval test nonsense, update

… and still no closer to any sort of resolution. If you didn’t witness it, then read this and get yourself up to speed. And as I sit here, some 4 hours after the events began to unfold, I’m still no closer to knowing what’s going on. There has simply been nothing forthcoming from any […]

Ball tampering scandal at The Oval

Well well well. This is incredible. For anyone not watching Sky Sports at the moment, I can’t believe what I’m seeing. You must read this!
UPDATED BELOW.

Football is like Christmas

It seems to start earlier every year. We’re just in the middle of August, and already Cricket A.M. has been replaced with Football A.M., even with a test match going on, which, incidentally, has been shunted back to Sky Sports 2 (from 1).
Don’t worry though, because this year we’ve got one of the most […]

This ought to liven things up a bit

I’m sure you’ve all gotten used to my usual blatherings about cricket. England this, England that, England woohoo. Well, maybe not woohoo, because let’s face it, England’s most recent performance against Pakistan, has been nothing short of diabolical. In the much-anticipated, much-hyped build up to the series to end all series’ (The Ashes, if you […]

Final Ashes warm-up starts today

The last opportunity for England players to stake their claim on a spot in the Ashes squad gets under way today, with the 4th Test between Pakistan and England at The Oval. It’s a “dead rubber” match - England have already won the series - so all that’s up for grabs is inflicting a humiliating […]
