England struggle to lose

It will come as little or no surprise to anyone that in what can only be described as yet another match between England and Australia, England lost. Again. See, no surprise. In fact, anyone who didn’t watch it could quite easily, on the basis of the scoreline, dismiss it as just another England performance. In […]

Darren Gough: You’re not fat!

David Graveney, England’s Chairman of Selectors, has apologised to Darren Gough for the way in which Gough was left out of the World Cup side.

“Particularly with Darren’s years of service for England I should have dealt with it in a far better way. Both men were assessed in terms of their current fitness status. […]

Herschelle Gibbs banned for racist comments

South African batsman Herschelle Gibbs has been banned from Test cricket for two matches after the stumpcam in South Africa’s match against Pakistan picked up some rather unsavoury comments. In fact, if you don’t like unsavoury things, then I suggest you stop reading.
Gibbs was recorded as saying:
“You fucking bunch of fucking animals… fucking go back […]

Vaughan out; Flintoff captain

What was I saying about this team being in reverse? No sooner was Michael Vaughan back in the team after being out through injury, he is again back out of the team through injury - apparently he’s torn his hamstring. Now, I know that “tearing a hamstring” tends to sound considerably worse than it really […]

CB Trophy: England finally win something

Well one of the big questions was answered yesterday as England managed to scrape a win out of its contest with New Zealand, albeit only just. Neither side played with much conviction, as New Zealand posted a miserable 205 off their 50 overs, and England miserably managed to score the required runs, with just one […]

The other side of Brett Lee

Brett Lee is currently enjoying some success off the cricket pitch, by singing a duet with Asha Bhosle. The song is currently in the Indian charts. Hmm.

What’s hiding under the ICC’s carpet?

Well, Darrell Hair for one thing. After he was spectacularly given the arse for his involvement in Ovalgate, it seems the ICC still haven’t quite figured out what to do with him, or even how to treat its members. It’s about time the ICC grew a backbone, rather than fannying around so much. If […]

Australia pick up the pace

As if hammering England repeatedly over the past couple of months wasn’t enough for them, they opened up a big can of the proverbial whoop all over New Zealand in the second match of the CB Trophy. In fact, this trophy is rapidly turning in to one of two contests. Number one will be on […]
