Magic Moments: Donald vs Atherton

As we all begin to salivate uncontrollably at the prospect of the Ashes, I caught a conversation at the WAT forums about “Test battles” - that is, some of the big rivalries that have existed in cricket.
The one that sprang immediately to mind was Mike Atherton (England) versus Allan Donald (or is it the […]

England can win the World Cup

Hahaha. Ahem. Sorry. I’ll try again.
No, it’s not possible. I can’t read that title without sniggering. England. Can. Win. The. World. Cup.
Well, according to Paul Collingwood and David Graveney, anyway.
Chairman of selectors David Graveney insisted England would be doing everything possible to get things back on track before the World Cup.
“Nobody is sitting […]

Ashes fantasy cricket

Cricinfo have revealed their fantasy cricket league plans for the forthcoming Ashes series. I’m definitely going to enter a side, but I’m reserving selection of my team for another couple of weeks to see about the status of injuries etc.
However, I’d love to set up a “cricket bloggers” league and so I’m scoping out to […]

England plunge

England were effectively knocked out of the ICC Champions Trophy last night when the West Indies beat India, even with a game in hand. England still have to face West Indies in their last match of the group stages, despite the result being totally meaningless. It should be expected for England to win the match […]

Ultimate Christmas cricket

As if having an Ashes series over the rapidly approaching festive season wasn’t enough, you can now get involved in all the action by getting yourself an electronic indoor cricket game type dealy. Forget going to Winter nets when you practice from the warmth of your own home. Or words to that effect.
I’ve no idea […]

Australia fall for cunning plan

If it helps you to do the Baldrick voice when reading the above title, then please, feel free. In fact, you can just imagine it now:
“What are we going to do about winning the Ashes?”
“I have a cunning plan, m’Lord”
“Oh, do you?”

“OK, let’s hear […]

Someone pinch me - Australia lose

Well, well, well. The ICC Champions Trophy just got interesting. After England got stuffed against India earlier this week, things were beginning to look a bit hopeless ahead of the Ashes warmup on Saturday. But goshdarnit if the group wasn’t just blown wide open as West Indies didn’t just pull down the Aussies’ pyjamas and […]

Freddie Flintoff Benefit Year - Exclusive ticket giveaway

I could insult you and all and tell you exactly who Freddie Flintoff is but that would frankly be ridiculous. What I will tell you is that this year is Fred’s benefit year, and by gosh if it doesn’t coincide neatly with being in Australia. So what else is there to do but have not […]
