It’s fair to say that this poor excuse for a tournament, which seems to have a completely unnecessary number of “qualifiers”, and then three finals, is becoming a little farcical. In fact, it’s no longer a question of who will win. In fact, I’m not sure it was ever a question of who would win. […]

It will come as little or no surprise to anyone that in what can only be described as yet another match between England and Australia, England lost. Again. See, no surprise. In fact, anyone who didn’t watch it could quite easily, on the basis of the scoreline, dismiss it as just another England performance. In […]

The ECB have named Ken Schofield as lead prosecutor investigator in the witch-hunt investigation to determine exactly what happened in the Ashes. Ken Schofield is actually a golf man, having spent a few years as director of the European tour.
Also appointed are Nasser Hussein, Michael Atherton and Angus Fraser, with two, as yet, unfilled spots […]

Brett Lee is currently enjoying some success off the cricket pitch, by singing a duet with Asha Bhosle. The song is currently in the Indian charts. Hmm.

As if hammering England repeatedly over the past couple of months wasn’t enough for them, they opened up a big can of the proverbial whoop all over New Zealand in the second match of the CB Trophy. In fact, this trophy is rapidly turning in to one of two contests. Number one will be on […]

Does this series not know when to quit? Just when you thought that a 5-0 crushing in the Test series had to be the lowest point of the tour for all England fans, this match made the tour take a turn for the ridiculous. I actually wasn’t around to see the England get stuffed by […]

There seems little point in coming up with a kind of Ashes “report card” since it’s blindingly obvious that Australia aced it, and England should be sent to summer school to resit their exams. (Maybe they should even be held back a year and forced to learn it all over again?). No, instead, I think […]

That, as they say, is pretty much that. Although England have managed to string this out to a fourth day, but at what equates to 12/5, the first Ashes whitewash in 80 odd years is now inevitable. Australia’s tail managed to do exactly what England’s tail (and top order, for that matter) failed to do: […]

It seems you can’t wake up nowadays without a story breaking about a member of Australia’s side giving up in the face of adversity. First it was Damien Martyn, then it was Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath and now, as I predicted, Justin Langer has handed in his notice, signifying the end of Australia’s prolific-run-scoring-opening-partnership-machine.
