Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

England beat New Zealand in the Third Test

England win by an innings and 9 runs. New Zealand were rendered helpless and found wanting on the fourth day of the Third Test. We had earlier reported how KP saved England on the first day! Maybe that proved to be the catalyst for a really inspired performance by the Poms.
Making 364 in the […]

England vs New Zealand - 3rd Test - Trent Bridge, Nottingham - Day 1

Kevin Pietersen has been oft criticized for being too irrational and inconsistent! But not today. He was rational and scored 115. While a few of my friends are mulling over the IPL, i thought it was time to move on in life. Everything you love might go away, but this one will come back.

85mph at your head = funny?

Mike Atherton has a piece today about how Sreesanth should be issued a ban for bowling a beamer at KP in the 2nd Test. His feeling is that the beamer was intentional.
Watch the video, and decide for yourself:

What do you think? I still believe, as I concluded at the time, that it genuinely slipped out. […]

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 […]

Perth : Day 4 : 292 to win

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 […]

Adelaide: Day 2: I’ll eat my hat

Colly, Colly… Colly. I apologise for saying you’re not a number 4 batsman. I was clearly delirious. I’ve always thought you had it in you. Honestly.
England finally came to the Ashes by posting a promising 550-6 dec and reduced Australia to 28-1 at the close of Day 2. After Day 1, the feeling was that […]

Brisbane: Day 4: Too little too late

There’s not much to be said for the state of the game, and despite Paul Collingwood and KP salvaging a bit of pride for the English, it came too late - in fact, in true England style - when the game is lost, we’ll start to play. Man, I’m getting cynical.

Crikey. England have a top order.

I’m cursed by having to work in the day time, which means I can’t stay at home watching cricket all day. If I could find a job that let me do that, then cor blimey, I’d be all over it. Anyway, the result is that to catch up with what happened in the 1st […]

The value of experience

Sri Lanka have beaten England in a Twenty20 match at The Rose Bowl in Hampshire. Sri Lanka posted 163 all out, a score that looked gettable. England managed 161-5 falling short by just a couple of runs. In amongst it, the experienced cricketers in both sides ultimately showed that experience is important in cricket.

Why KP is so damn good

Kevin Pietersen - England’s new wonderboy - has really made a name for himself. Doubted by the cynics and critics (which included me) about his ability to play the highest level of the game, due largely to the fact that his shot selection seemed irresponsible, he has successfully proved a lot of people wrong. His […]
