Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

August 20th, 2007

Streuth, Adolf Warne

Well actually, not so much. But the rumours that were rife that Australian legend and current Hampshire Captain Shane Warne was about to relinquish his Australian citizenship in favour of bratwurst and lederhosen have been scotched. The intended trick was to get around next season’s “only 1 International player per side”* regulations, since as a […]

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.

Fred starts home schooling

This is why we love Freddie so much. Embroiled in a “row” over Fredalogate following comments from Michael Vaughan, we were all waiting to hear what Fred had to say about it all. Stoic as ever, Fred shrugged it all off. After meeting Vaughan for lunch, Fred’s outlook on the whole issue was, for want […]

If only Richie were still commentating…

West Indies have finished Day 2 of the number 2 test match of this England West Indies series on, wait for it…

Australia won’t tour Zimbabwe

Australian prime minister John Howard has insisted to Cricket Australia that the proposed tour of Zimbabwe not go ahead on account of the political situation in Zimbabwe under the regime of Robert Mugabe.
However you feel about what is happening in Zimbabwe, it is absolutely right for this decision to be made by a government and […]

Ooh boy. World Cup gloves (and squash ball) have come off

Well hurrah for this. As if the recent World Cup and particularly its final was not farcical enough already, it has just taken a turn for the bizarre. After Australia won the World Cup final, not necessarily due to being a better side, but because they could just see in the dark, Adam Gilchrist, who […]

Tresco back on track?

After Marcus Trecothick’s epic departure from the Ashes, which was the catalyst for the England top order’s abject failure to score anything like a decent total ever since, he’s put the cat amongst the pigeons once again by showing us exactly what we’re missing in the side at the moment. After surgery for a double-hernia […]

Down with a Bang

I’m not so sure that any of the people involved with the Bangladeshi squad read this site, but either way, Bangladesh have done a spectacular job in making me look very silly. No sooner had I said that Bangladesh were running out of steam and they’ve pulled their socks up and caused yet another “upset” […]

Time for a new Pakistan

It has been a long time coming but perhaps it is finally here for Pakistan. Things have been going wrong in the Pakistan camp for some time now and the latest controversies and problems will hopefully be the end of the line for the existing Pakistani set-up.
Recent problems, such as Shahid Afridi’s ban, Shoaib […]
