The storm in this week’s tea cup (or is that this week’s storm in the tea cup, I’m not sure, although I don’t think it especially matters) is dredging up of Fredalogate which happened, as far as I can tell, for exactly no reason whatsoever. Whether or not some cricket journo was having a really […]
Oooh-ee. England continued their rampant meander through this World Cup by accidentally beating Bangladesh in their latest Super 8 clash. England appeared to have taken heed of the must-win status, when the bowlers did a good job in bowling the ‘deshi’s out for 143. Sajid Mahmood generated some good pace and did a good job […]
England have announced their 15 man squad for the World Cup:
Michael Vaughan (capt)
Ed Joyce
Ian Bell
Andrew Strauss
Kevin Pietersen
Paul Collingwood
Andrew Flintoff
Paul Nixon (wk)
Ravinder Bopara
Jamie Dalrymple
Monty Panesar
Jon Lewis
James Anderson
Liam Plunkett
Sajid Mahmood
There are one or two obvious things about this squad: 1) Vaughan is in it, despite all his recent injury concerns. Certainly Vaughan is the best man for […]
What was I saying about this team being in reverse? No sooner was Michael Vaughan back in the team after being out through injury, he is again back out of the team through injury - apparently he’s torn his hamstring. Now, I know that “tearing a hamstring” tends to sound considerably worse than it really […]
Well one of the big questions was answered yesterday as England managed to scrape a win out of its contest with New Zealand, albeit only just. Neither side played with much conviction, as New Zealand posted a miserable 205 off their 50 overs, and England miserably managed to score the required runs, with just one […]
I was in two minds as to whether to simply post a blank entry here, to try and symbolise being speechless about the latest debacle. Just when I thought it really couldn’t get much worse, it did, as England were beaten by an innings inside 3 days. Australia didn’t even post a gigantic total, 419, […]
England will need to score 292 runs in a day if they are to save this Ashes series. Oh, and they have to do it with 5 batsmen. On Day 4, the England batsmen assembled something of a fightback, with runs from Ian Bell and Alastair Cook who looked to bat out the whole […]
If you visit any of the cricket forums at the moment, there are a number of common topics, man of them surrounding team selection. The discussion England’s side seems to be especially vociferous, mainly due to the sheer volume of question marks surrounding the side.
Will Flintoff be fit enough? (injuries)
Monty or Giles? (spinners)
Collingwood, Bell or […]
England win the 3rd Test at Headingley - but was it “all that” ?
Hurray for still being able to hide behind the injury excuse. If I had the inclination, I’d go through all the cricket news stories from the BBC and CricInfo in the last couple of months and figure out what proportion of them are do with an injury concern with the English cricket team. Since I […]
