I’ve been thinking about my visitors recently (you). Not in that way, you understand, (well maybe), no, um, seriously… it intrigues me to know about the people reading this blog, mainly so I can make sure I keep providing the content that you wonderful people want to read. So I’d be really grateful if you […]
I’ve really enjoyed watching this series on Sky Sports recently. Twenty20 cricket is fun anyway, but there’s something about West Indian Twenty20 (or 20/20 as they seem to term it) which is even more enjoyable. It’s like a slightly village version of English Twenty20. Except for the prize pot - in England, you get […]
In the first “In My Day” post, I’m looking back to the infamous “Bodyline tour”, a cricketing tactic devised by the English cricket team for their 1932–33 tour of Australia, specifically to combat the extraordinary batting skill of Australia’s Don Bradman. Bodyline bowlers deliberately aimed the cricket ball at the bodies of batsmen, in the […]
What a day! Finals day is always a fun time - three games of the rapid-paced Twenty20 in one day. The two semi-finals were fairly uneventful - Leicestershire seeing off a below-par Essex in the the first semi-final, with Nottinghamshire beating Surrey in the second. The final though, went right to the wire. In a […]
Link. I can’t help but feel sorry for the guy - I’m not suggesting his comment was appropriate, but I do believe it was meant as a light-hearted joke. Political-correctness gone mad?
UPDATE:
Make your own mind up. Those plucky YouTube types have made Deans words available to all and sundry. What do you reckon? (via […]
England win the 3rd Test at Headingley - but was it “all that” ?
I’m cursed by having to work in the day time, which means I can’t stay at home watching cricket all day. If I could find a job that let me do that, then cor blimey, I’d be all over it. Anyway, the result is that to catch up with what happened in the 1st […]
Not only has England newbie (and all round legend) Monty Panesar had to put up with a barrage of jokes about his ineptitude in the field and with the bat, he’s now going to have to contend with the same heckles… but this time by a bunch of pissed-up morons who like look him. Can […]
Save all the jokes - we know we invented cricket and we know that pretty much everyone has spent the last 20 years beating us at it. It’s all very embarassing, and things are changing, and yahda yahda yahda. But nonetheless, Cricket has been indelibly marked as part of English Heritage, well at least as […]
You’d think going away for a week might turn up something interesting to talk about. I’m not sure why you’d think that, but it’s possible you might think it. I certainly thought it. And maybe I’m being too critical, but it seems like a same old run-of-the-mill cricketing week has passed. For starters, England thrashed […]
