Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

It’s all about the people

Whilst watching England vs New Zealand in a ODI in the CB Trophy, I was hit by all the different people who caught my attention. So here they are.
Umpire Steve Davis
I’m not sure what it is, but there’s something about Umpire Steve Davis that I don’t like. I think the first thing is that I […]

Today’s Loser: Cricket itself

First things first: England continued their fine run by losing another game of cricket. Nothing new there. New Zealand battered 318 off their 50 overs and England only managed 260 in theirs. Jacob Oram did another demolition job on England’s bowlers at the death, seeing the last 2 overs go for 36, and scoring yet […]

Irony not lost on Paul Collingwood

Following England’s annihilation at the hands of Australia (I could qualify that and say in the most recent ODI, but is there much point?), Paul Collingwood’s been running his mouth off spouting nonsense running the PR show in his column for the BBC. He spins all the usual stuff “we were really disappointed”, “we have […]

Vaughan to miss… some more cricket

In a shocking stop-the-press development, Michael Vaughan is still injured. I mean injured again. I mean still injured again. Again, he’s still injured. After being out for over a year with a knee injury, Vaughan managed one game in charge (and marshalled England’s first and only win of the tour) before injuring himself with a […]

England fans: do not read this

If, like me, you’re an England fan, who will always be an England fan, who, despite the malaise and farce that surrounds this Ashes tour, still manages to maintain some respect and faith in our boys, certain that despite their thorough whooping, they still tried their hardest, did their best and gave it everything, then […]

England plumb the depths

Less than a week ago I described how England had plunged to a new low. I asked what words could be used to describe the state of English question. I was bemused, befuddled and, erm, besaddled with erm, disgust. After England got stuffed yet again, I’m beginning to wonder if I’m stuck in some sort […]

Tickets, tickets… get yer tickets…

Ticket sales for the World Cup have apparently slowed considerably, with problems over visas, and whilst no numbers have been released, some people are starting to fret.
At least Chris Dehring is apparently living the Malibu way:

“This event has faced so many challenges that at this stage, everything is full steam ahead,” he told The Miami […]

England slump to new low

Would you believe that I actually had a much longer post all written out here, but thanks to the wonder that is the Internet, it didn’t get processed properly and I ended up with nothing.
But maybe it’s fate? After all, what else is there to be said about another lacklustre performance from England? And […]

Ahead of the World Cup

Host of forthcoming World Cup West Indies have been getting in to shape against India with a series of one dayers. India started off strongly, rattling up a mammoth total of 338 for 3 off their 50 overs. The West Indies did their best, but despite an unbeaten 149 from Shivnarine Chanderpaul (who had obviously […]

New idea for the CB Trophy

It’s fair to say that this poor excuse for a tournament, which seems to have a completely unnecessary number of “qualifiers”, and then three finals, is becoming a little farcical. In fact, it’s no longer a question of who will win. In fact, I’m not sure it was ever a question of who would win. […]
