Collingwood: one day captain

After Vaughan quit as captain of the one day side, all eyes were on who would be named as captain. Speculation was spot on as it was eventually given to Paul Collingwood. Irony abounds, considering that Collingwood was the most-oft picked player for the chop during England’s recent “down-time”. Fortunately, the crazy men have seen […]

5 over game = legitimate?

The Twenty20 season hasn’t got off to the best start this year, but I have to say I am enjoying it. It has recently been marred from some peculiar and football-hooligan-esque behaviour at the game between Middlesex and Hampshire, where Middlesex has their dressing room broken in to by thieves who stole wallets and other […]

Comedy lookalike: Peter Moores = 40 Year Old Virgin

Time for another cricketing lookalike. This time England coach Peter Moores, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Steve Carell, perhaps most famous for being the 40 Year Old Virgin.

40 Year Old Virgin

Thanks to JT for the tip off.

Twenty20 underway

That’s right - the English domestic Twenty20 season is under way again - teams with silly names, players with silly pyjamas and a bunch of silly rules as the beautiful game of cricket is condensed down in to a frankly silly 20 overs. Batsmen have no time to play themselves in and look to smash […]

KP: Not finished article

I didn’t know if it needed saying again - Kevin Pietersen is not yet the finished article. Sure, he might be rated the best batsmen in the world, sure, he might be feared, and sure, he did have a pretty good test series against the West Indies, but he is still not yet the type […]

England seal emphatic series victory

England took hold of the dead rubber and gave it a bloody good slap to take an assured 2-0 series victory and turn it in to an emphatic whooping by winning the final match of the series and sealing the 3-0 victory. As rain wiped out the first day and a half, a result looked […]

Cricket can be a harsh mistress

You do have to feel for some of the West Indians at the moment. Take, for example, Darren Ganga. Captain and opening batsman of a fairly lacklustre West Indian side, that currently is getting rather used to losing. They’ve already lost this series and have one more game to play. Accordingly, the game doesn’t mean […]

Sir Beefy

Sir Ian Botham. What is the world coming to?
Actually, it’s very well deserved.

Wet Weather Washes Windies Woes aWay

The 4th test between England and West Indies failed to get underway today due to torrential rain in most of northern England. That the game was abandoned by midday says plenty about exactly how wet it is. The forecast isn’t great for the next few days so it could be a very frustrating time indeed […]

Woolmer: Not murdered?

The farce that is the investigation in to the death of Bob Woolmer looks set to get even worse today with a press conference that is expected to say that Woolmer actually wasn’t murdered after all and he instead died of natural causes. The news follows an investigation by Scotland Yard in to the findings […]
