The 2007 Cricket World Cup got off to a flyer at Sabina Park as hosts West Indies demolished Pakistan with ease. Batting first, the Windies posted 241 off their 50 overs, a total that didn’t look nearly enough. But their bowlers put in a sterling perfomance in bowling Pakistan out for 187. Admittedly, the Pakistan […]
I know, I know, I’m such the cynic that even after England tonked Bermuda by 240 runs I still wasn’t convinced, bemoaning the fact that England didn’t look convincing enough. But I hold my hands up - I was (potentially) wrong. In contrast to a number of other big teams, England have had a glorious […]
Just when you thought the cricketing world was just about getting back to normal again, things settling down nicely, England winning a couple of games, a thrilling series between Pakistan and South Africa under way, and the World Cup just around the corner, it felt like some of the controversies of last year, such as […]
I’m struggling to remember the last time I saw such an incredible game of cricket. Actually, in real terms, the game of cricket wasn’t that remarkable as South Africa quite literally thrashed the pants off Pakistan in the first ODI. No, what was remarkable was the manner in which South Africa annihilated Pakistan. To score […]
South African batsman Herschelle Gibbs has been banned from Test cricket for two matches after the stumpcam in South Africa’s match against Pakistan picked up some rather unsavoury comments. In fact, if you don’t like unsavoury things, then I suggest you stop reading.
Gibbs was recorded as saying:
“You fucking bunch of fucking animals… fucking go back […]
Wow, there are some angry people out there. No more than a nanosecond after England snatched defeat in the 2nd test of the Ashes, and the hands are out and the gloves most definitely are off. Visit any sports website, news website, forum, messageboard, chatroom and pretty much any blog and the vultures are already […]
Won’t this thing just die? In yet another twist, that is, after the ICC announced that they’d moreorless sacked Darrel Hair, and then said he was their second-best, he’s now been voted #1 Umpire in the World by Wisden, receiving 34% of the vote ahead of Simon Taufel with 16%.
Now, it doesn’t take a genius […]
The argument over the Ovalgate continues to rage. Despite Pakistan getting their way and having Darrell Hair removed from International duty, they’re still unwilling to cough up the requested £800,000 in compensation for the forfeiture of the game. Instead, they’ve come up with a new plan: they’ll play cricket against us.
“We have told (ECB chairman) […]
Whilst the title of this post unfortunately forces unintentional thoughts of hairy arses, what’s more unfortunate is Darrell Hair’s removal from officiating in International matches. Well, unfortunate if you’re not Pakistani. No doubt the parties will go late in to the night in Pakistan tonight. The ICC spent 2 days discussing Hair, and finally came […]
Pakistani fast bowlers Shoaib Ahktar and Mohammed Asif both received bans (2 years and 1 year respectively) for failing drug tests for banned substance nandrolone. This is the first case of the use of performance enhancing drugs in Cricket (Shane Warne taking diuretics was only designed to improve his performance off the pitch…).
