As a cricket fan so far away, it’s really hard to gauge what the real feeling is over this World Cup. There was always the danger of an increasingly waining interest from the International community considering that it has been spread out over such a long period of time. But a succession of events, starting […]
The West Indies’ campaign to become the first host nation to lift the World Cup took another hit today in below par performance against New Zealand. Hoping to bounce back from a thumping defeat against Australia, the Windies were asked to bat by New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming but a lack of concentration saw the […]
Well the results are in from the Big Test: early indications are, it’s business as usual. But the scores don’t tell the whole story, in one of the games at least. Australia made no mistakes in defeating the West Indies, despite needing two days to do it due to heavy rain after Matt Hayden smashed […]
To me, it doesn’t make any sense. I don’t want to get in to “cultural difficulties” here, but really, how can people justify the treatment of the Pakistani cricket team? There are plenty of really ugly things going on in the World right now (hell, all the time) and from my perspective there are things […]
Who the heck edits the Wisden almanack? Matthew Engel, that’s who. The almanack is something of a legendary book in cricketing terms. It’s a bit like the cricketing bible. Except a new version is released every year. Anyway, the latest (144th) edition was published today. The almanack traditionally announces such important things as the five […]

Well CaribbeanCricket.com writer Michelle McDonald put the man behind the […]
As the Super 8’s get underway, both Australia and South Africa, the big two teams of this tournament, are in action. Australia have already won the initial battle in defeating South Africa in the group stages, but in my book, these two sides look the most likely of making the final. But we’ve already seen […]

England did enough to get in to the Super 8 stage of the World Cup by beating Kenya in the final match of Group C. In a match delayed by heavy rain and subsequently limited to 43 overs, Kenya won the toss and bravely elected to bat first. They lasted until the final over, but […]
India look set to follow Pakistan as shock exits from the World Cup, after failing to beat Sri Lanka which would have ensured progression through to the Super 8. Bangladesh will take their place provided they don’t lose to Bermuda.
India won the toss and asked Sri Lanka to bat, and despite starting slowly, forged their […]
