Will Luke, founder of immensely popular cricket blog The Corridor and staff editor for immensely popular and fountain of all cricket knowledge Cricinfo, managed to tear himself away from commentating on the Ashes for a few moments to answer a couple of ultra-searching questions…

… in one easy go. One crappy A4 sheet, covered in scribble and question marks and absolutely zero indication that they had a workable plan to get rid of the Australian batsmen. For example, they were relying on Hayden’s ego to get him out, Symonds forgetting to bring his feet, and the Gods of “fair […]

I was in two minds as to whether to simply post a blank entry here, to try and symbolise being speechless about the latest debacle. Just when I thought it really couldn’t get much worse, it did, as England were beaten by an innings inside 3 days. Australia didn’t even post a gigantic total, 419, […]

I didn’t make any predictions for Day 2 and I was right to not, since Day 2 panned out more or less exactly as you would reasonably have expected it. There was an outside chance that England might have created something magical, and in the morning session it nearly happened, as Harmison, Flintoff, Hoggard and […]

You’d rightly be feeling a little bit miffed at the moment. You can’t escape the hype surrounding Shane Warne and his 700th test wicket. Heck, I’m as guilty of it as anyone. Yes, 700 wickets is a huge feat and no doubt his impending retirement has added to the hype, but it seems one or […]

Congratulations to Shane Warne who became the first man to take 700 Test wickets. It really was the dream setting: home ground, 90,000 people, last test and 700 wickets. Andrew Strauss played all around a flighted top spinner. Shane took off for a celebration, which ironically seemed to be copied from the new boy of […]

About 6am this morning I got a text message from a good friend of mine:
Mate, am watching the cricket at the MCG. Can’t believe what a shocker. Hope you’ve had a good Xmas. Annabelle is still super hot.
Despite being incredibly jealous at my non-cricket-loving friend who was both watching the cricket at the MCG with […]

Well here we are. The 4th Test of the series, and whilst it is dead rubber, both sides still have something to play for. Australia are keen to continue their hunt for the whitewash whereas England are looking to stop the rot and try and prove their worth. The predicted change in the side has […]

So 3-nil down with two to play and the Ashes have already gone “home”. Whether England manage to win at all this series is now largely meaningless considering that the main event is already over. It sounds rather like an excited 17 year old out on his first date, There’s all the hype, the preparation, […]

England might not be much cop when it comes to playing cricket, but our cricketers are at least talented in other areas, as confirmed by Mark Ramprakash winning this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, becoming the second cricketer in a row to win it, following Darren Gough. Both players are ex-England cricketers. Gough’s England career was […]
