England today announced the 30-man squad from which the team for the World Cup will be selected:
Batsmen: Ian Bell (Warks), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Alastair Cook (Essex), Ed Joyce (Middx), Mal Loye (Lancs), Kevin Pietersen (Hants), Owais Shah (Middx), Vikram Solanki (Worcs), Andrew Strauss (Middx), Michael Vaughan (Yorks)
All-rounders: Rikki Clarke (Surrey), Paul Collingwood (Durham), Jamie Dalrymple […]
Beep beep beep. Despite the veritable moratorium having been opened up all over England’s sorry arse, which promised to figure out exactly went wrong during this tour, England still managed to dip further into their depression by getting stuffed in the first one-dayer, reinstating Micheal Vaughan as captain and opening batsman, and to cap it […]
Billy was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came out, fireman, policeman, salesman, chippy, captain of industry etc, but Billy was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.
“My father is an exotic dancer […]
Does this series not know when to quit? Just when you thought that a 5-0 crushing in the Test series had to be the lowest point of the tour for all England fans, this match made the tour take a turn for the ridiculous. I actually wasn’t around to see the England get stuffed by […]
I got emailed by a lady at Fox Sports telling me about a guide to cricket they’ve put together.
Well, I’ll cut to the chase. It’s moderately amusing, so by all means have a little looksee yourself.

There seems little point in coming up with a kind of Ashes “report card” since it’s blindingly obvious that Australia aced it, and England should be sent to summer school to resit their exams. (Maybe they should even be held back a year and forced to learn it all over again?). No, instead, I think […]
That was, as I said it would be, the proverbial that. England finally hung up their boots and signalled their defeat by losing the 5th test match of this Ashes series, affording the first whitewash in 80 years to Australia. There was never really likely to be a different result. Even Monty’s magical powers couldn’t […]
You decide. I’ve put a poll up to the right of this post. Who will it be? I added some English players to the list, more as a joke than anything else, but I have to say I was struggling to even think of names who might have been considered for it.
Inevitably it will be […]
That, as they say, is pretty much that. Although England have managed to string this out to a fourth day, but at what equates to 12/5, the first Ashes whitewash in 80 odd years is now inevitable. Australia’s tail managed to do exactly what England’s tail (and top order, for that matter) failed to do: […]
No, you didn’t read that wrong, the title of this post IS moreorless identical to the one I used yesterday. Because, sadly, it IS all too familiar. England got a start and then crumbled to all out for less than 300. I’m struggling not to use the word capitulate as I’m aware that I’ve used […]
