The first week of the World Cup came chock full of shock, surprise and unexpected things. Ireland beating Pakistan, Bangladesh beating India, Flintoff getting dropped from the England side, and, of course, the sad news about Bob Woolmer. All things were ‘go’ from the off. But things have settled now as the major teams in […]
Australia made no mistakes in whooping Scotland in their opening World Cup matches. That there would be any other outcome was never really on the cards, especially when Scotland inserted Australia who went on to rack up 334 with ease, including a century from skipper Ricky Ponting. Despite a bright start and a 72-ball fifty […]
In their last warm-up matches, England and Australia had a quick runabout. Winning the toss and electing to bat, England started brightly after Ed Joyce’s early demise, Michael Vaughan and Ian Bell put on a hundred to put England in a good position at 130-odd for 1. But England weren’t able to sustain the charge […]
I know, I know, I’m such the cynic that even after England tonked Bermuda by 240 runs I still wasn’t convinced, bemoaning the fact that England didn’t look convincing enough. But I hold my hands up - I was (potentially) wrong. In contrast to a number of other big teams, England have had a glorious […]
Injuries, injuries, injuries. It’s been a hot topic for ages now as huge amounts of people give their reasoning as to why there’s been an apparent increase in the frequency of serious injuries in International cricket. And now they will affect the World Cup, as key teams have players out with injury:
Australia: Matthew Hayden (toe), […]
Australia suffered another loss at the hands of New Zealand, to lose the three match series in the first 2 games. It was their 5th loss out of 6 games. Even more worrying than their horrific 10-wicket hiding previously, was that Australia posted an-ordinarily-match-winning-336, which New Zealand chased with balls to spare. Sure, a 10 […]
Less than a month ago Australia were on the very top of the, erm, cricketing perch and by some margin as well. Having thrashed England in the Ashes, they had continued their form in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy by dishing it out in the one day version of the game to both England and Australia […]
England’s physio was robbed at knifepoint by a gang of masked thieves, whilst “sharing drinks” with Andrew Strauss and a few other team peeps in their Sydney hotel. It sounds like an isolated incident, and that the robbers weren’t cricket fans who were annoyed Dean Conway for sorting out all England’s injured players. If anything, […]
England managed to end the Ashes tour on a high by somehow winning the Commonwealth Bank Trophy series. After a staggering 8 “group” matches, Australia entered the finals with 31 points having lost only one game, and England entered on a lowly 13 points having lost 5 games, just one better than New Zealand. The […]
Who would have thought it? Less than 2 weeks ago, the England cricket team was a dismantled wreck, a bunch of men who had been beaten and flogged repeatedly until they were little more than a shell of team. On the back of a catastrophic 5-0 drubbing in the Ashes, England did as everyone might […]
