England vs New Zealand - First Test at Lords - Day 1

Being a cricket blogger, you HAVE to give precedence to International Cricket. Which is becoming quite a cumbersome process as the IPL can’t have enough of me. But as Mr Adams would say:
Ain’t no use in ComplainingWhen You Got a Job to do!

So let me shoot away. I did see a lot of the first […]

Texan Billionaire gets spending, wants to run Cricket’s EPL

Sir Allen Stanford, the Texan billionaire who has proposed a US$20 million winner-takes-all contest between England and a West Indies XI, could be prepared to bankroll an English version of the Indian Premier League, but only if the England & Wales Cricket Board can guarantee him a return on his investment.
Sounds good. Would be great […]

Scapegoating can’t save England now

Day 2, 3rd Test, India vs England, The Oval
England got pounded in to the ground by a rampaging Indian batting attack, that kept going all the way down to number 11. The highlight of the day was the maiden test century, after 118 matches, for Anil Kumble, scoring a delightful 110* to give India a […]

Oh dear God - is it any wonder?

This is typical of the way the British mentality - and specifically the British media mentality - works. On the 1st day of the final test between England and India, India geared themselves up to give England a proper trouncing and in so-doing hand them their first series loss on home soil in some record-breaking […]

Shaky start to 2nd test

2nd Test match, India vs England, Trent Bridge
Fickle weather in England looks set to completely disrupt the 2nd test between England and India. Day 1 didn’t get underway until 1500 and by close of play, England had managed to lose 7 wickets for a mere 170 rus. The Indian bowling was of a reasonable standard […]

1st Test peters out

India vs England, Lord’s Day 5
Sadly, the match that was truly poised for a thrilling finish, came to nothing as England’s shoddy weather intervened. Day 5 started with India needing some 250 runs for the win, or to save 7 wickets to ensure the draw. England were in a strong position after day 4 following […]
