Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

Lara to totally bugger his career

Brian Lara has announced that he is to come out of retirement to join the Indian Cricket League, the league that has “broken away” from International cricket, and is not recognised by the ICC. Lara, who announced his retirement from all forms of the game after the dismal World Cup, will certainly be one of […]

Wet Weather Washes Windies Woes aWay

The 4th test between England and West Indies failed to get underway today due to torrential rain in most of northern England. That the game was abandoned by midday says plenty about exactly how wet it is. The forecast isn’t great for the next few days so it could be a very frustrating time indeed […]

Flintoff out

Andrew Flintoff will have another operation on his ankle, which looks set to put him out for a considerable amount of time. Rumours have been floating around that he may even be forced to stop bowling and concentrate on a career as a batsman. Other rumours say that the earliest he’ll be back in action […]

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 […]

Price of the World Cup?

As a cricket fan so far away, it’s really hard to gauge what the real feeling is over this World Cup. There was always the danger of an increasingly waining interest from the International community considering that it has been spread out over such a long period of time. But a succession of events, starting […]

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 […]

The Curse of the Irish?

There were no prisoners yesterday, as the first weekend of the cricket World Cup 2007 claimed two high profile victims. First up was Pakistan versus Ireland, and on St. Patrick’s day of all days. And although the Irish rugby team narrowly missed out on the Six Nations crown, the Irish cricket team were on top […]

World Cup hasn’t started…

… but they’ve already broken the trophy. Good work chaps. I’m intrigued that an $80k trophy can have parts “come unstuck” - sounds like real quality stuff.

Literary genius

David Graveney somewhat ridiculously called for an apology from anyone who doubted Duncan Fletcher’s ability, following England’s success in the CB Trophy. Evidently Graveney was on the bog when England lost the Ashes. It is often said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but sometimes it is the only medium to portray your […]
