This World Cup has been remarkable. Not necessarily for the outcome nor the cricket played, but for the sheer number of careers that it has claimed. OK, so technically not everyone in this last is quitting for good, but in one form or another they have all retired / resigned / not-had-contracts-renewed as-of the end […]
As if any other result was likely. Admittedly, the circumstances surrounding their victory leave a lot to be desired, but nevertheless, the Aussies did more than enough, both during this game and throughout the tournament to be worthy winners. The final itself has been described as farcical, owing to the match ending in near darkness […]
I’ve got a gift, it seems. Whenever I “big up” anything, it always goes the opposite way. For example, I thought the semi-finals were going to be awesome and they turned out to be totally one-sided. Sri Lanka’s win over New Zealand (despite proving my prediction to be totally wrong) wasn’t so surprising. New Zealand […]
Six weeks later and we’re finally nearing the end of this bizarre World Cup. Fortunately we’ve got two very tasty looking semi-finals on the cards.
Semi 1: Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, Jamaica (Tuesday 24th)
First up is Sri Lanka vs New Zealand. Sri Lanka have the been the “surprise” of the World Cup, after demolishing several […]

England’s final match in the 2007 World Cup neatly signals the start of new things for the side. The match, against the West Indies, was not without its highlights - foremost it was to be Duncan Fletcher’s last game in charge, a fact shadowed by the fact that it was also Brian Lara’s last one […]
Ah well. Hopeless optimism. It’s a skill and a facet of any England supporter. You have to believe. You have to want it. You have to think, that despite everything going against, that England could still prevail. You know that it’s not likely to happen, but there’s always a glimmer of hope. The latest World […]
I had the opportunity to flex my cricketing know-how by appearing on the excellent “My Cricket World Cup” programme on BBC World. Now, it’s safe to say that whenever you hear a recorded version of yourself, you think you sound like a wally, but it’s true, in this case. I’m sure I’m not that posh. […]
England are, remarkably, not down and out of this World Cup just yet. Despite playing mediocre cricket and failing to beat a decent test side, they are still in a position where virtually one match separates them from a place in the semi-finals. Should a miracle happen and a ray of sunlight somehow shined its […]
Well, not yet, but Angus Fraser thinks he should be. There are really no holds barred in his attack on Fletcher. After giving Fletcher his due for a resurgence of cricket, Fraser has, seemingly unprovoked, decided that Fletcher should go.
Duncan Fletcher is the finest leader England have had but it is time for change. […]
