BBC to screen The Ashes

Now here’s some moderately good news. The BBC has acquired a highlights programme for The Ashes, Roger Mosey has triumphantly announced.
Roger Mosey. Roger Mosey… why do I know that name? OHhhhh, that’s right, because I’ve had a run-in with him before. That’s right - Rog here is saying how they’ve got some highlights programme […]

England win the Ashes

(In 2005.)
The guys at CricketBlog posted a “timely reminder” for all “pommies” about their not-so-secret weapon, Shane Warne. Well, we can all find videos of secret weapons…

Oh… what the heck… just for good measure…

Ashes fever. Crazy stuff.

Andrew, Captain of England

Tomorrow heralds a new shift in cricketing focus - finally we’re back on track with cricketing news that people are interested in - that is, England name their squad for the Ashes. Injuries aside, the big question that will be answered - which Andrew (assuming Monty actually doesn’t get the nod), that is Flintoff or […]

Pakistan tour finally comes to an end

I for one am quite pleased for this tour to end. It seems like it’s gone forever. This is most likely due to the long summer of cricket that has been played, which over the last year has included Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan again, with varying levels of success. And I suppose blogging […]

Cricketing lookalikes: Adam Gilchrist

It’s Friday afternoon and I’m fed up of trying to write sensible cricket news. And I’m at work so I can’t even watch England lose to Pakistan again. So what better way to usher in the weekend than by poking fun at someone. Heck, I’ve done it before, so why not again?
Have you ever noticed […]

Essex edge closer to Pro 40 crown

Essex Eagles inflicted a heavy defeat on Lancashire Lightning last night in one of the last games of the Pro 40 season. Lancashire, who haven’t won a game all season, are almost certain to be relegated, and despite a promising start with the bat, collapsed from 88-1 to 200 odd all out, chasing Essex’s 234. […]

Two games left, series lost

Another ODI gets underway between Pakistan and England today - this time at Nottingham’s Trent Bridge. This series feels like it’s been going forever. And with the result already pretty much decided (at best England can now only draw the series, or “save” it, as described by England captain Andrew Strauss) even though Pakistan will […]

Hurray for more selection woes.

As if the injuries to a handful of key players wasn’t enough, Fletcher et al now have to contend with Trescothick pulling out of the Champions Trophy. On the face of it, it doesn’t seem like a big deal, because the Champions Trophy is a waste of space, and the result will be mostly marginal […]

Ashes preparation goes catwalk

The Australians are in keen preparation for the Ashes. Not only have they injured their second-string leg spinner (Stuart MacGill, whom, incidentally, I played against when he did a stint at Tiverton Heathcoat a few years back) who is out with an undisclosed injury, but they’ve also been redesigning their kit.
No longer will they […]
