Whilst the ICC Champions Trophy trudges dull-ly along with scant chance of seeing any sort of exciting gamesplay, I thought I start a feature that looked at the quirkier side of cricket. It might turn out as a sort of cricketing glossary. Similar to the feature that Channel4 used to run, before they stupidly gave […]
As if Pakistan’s time at the moment couldn’t get any worse, it just did, as fast bowling duo Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif failed tests for the banned steroid nandrolone.
Shoaib’s doctor proferred the predictably slim excuse for his alleged actions:
“Akhtar is definitely innocent and I can vouch for him,” said Tauseef. “He doesn’t know anything […]
So the first chapter in the new England side had a distinctly bitter ending. Was it really a new chapter in England’s history? I was hoping so. Flintoff was back. Andersen was back. It was the first cricket after the fateful Pakistan series. The ICC Champions Trophy is the final prelude to the Ashes. And […]
The Windies continued their winning run in the ICC Champions Trophy by spanking the Bangladesh Tigers by 10 wickets. The holders of the cup look in good form, something they’re surely not used to, and a win in the qualification stages will see them progress to Group B.
I’m really trying to be as positive as […]
Ever since Ovalgate, Pakistan has spiralled down an unstoppable slope of farce. What a slope of farce is, is anyone’s guess, but nevertheless, you can’t go a day at the moment without some sort of story about the Pakistani’s.

Sri Lanka have moreorless assured themselves a place in the Group stages after successfully seeing off Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. West Indies look good to join them, after giving Zimbabwe a thorough stuffing. A win against Bangladesh today would assure them a place, with the result of the decider between Sri Lanka and the Windies deciding […]
What better way to get ready for a big cricket championship, than to splash the news with reminders of years-old match-fixing allegations! The “frenzy” was sparked by South Africa’s Herschelle Gibbs’ return to India after a “self-imposed” 6 year exodus, after his involvement with “Cronjegate”. Gibbs stayed away from India for fear of getting a […]
Ex-England spinner Part-time England spinner Rubbish England spinner Injured England spinner Ashley Giles has said he’s confident of playing in Australia this winter. He’s currently out in India with the Champions Trophy squad, finishing his recuperation from a serious knee injury.
A knee injury that has kept him from playing for the best part of a […]
I’d normally make a joke about Shane Warne and drugs at this stage was this story not serious, from News.com.au
THE Australian and English cricket teams were to be killed with sarin gas by some of those responsible for the July 7 attacks in London, a friend of a terrorist claims.
