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 was surprised Panesar didn’t start and I couldn’t really work out why Read didn’t start, either. He certainly looks the part with the gloves and he did OK in the Pakistan series with the bat. At the end of the day, you have to pick your best players and in the last couple of […]
Less than a week ago I described how England had plunged to a new low. I asked what words could be used to describe the state of English question. I was bemused, befuddled and, erm, besaddled with erm, disgust. After England got stuffed yet again, I’m beginning to wonder if I’m stuck in some sort […]
Would you believe that I actually had a much longer post all written out here, but thanks to the wonder that is the Internet, it didn’t get processed properly and I ended up with nothing.
But maybe it’s fate? After all, what else is there to be said about another lacklustre performance from England? And […]
That was, as I said it would be, the proverbial that. England finally hung up their boots and signalled their defeat by losing the 5th test match of this Ashes series, affording the first whitewash in 80 years to Australia. There was never really likely to be a different result. Even Monty’s magical powers couldn’t […]
I was in two minds as to whether to simply post a blank entry here, to try and symbolise being speechless about the latest debacle. Just when I thought it really couldn’t get much worse, it did, as England were beaten by an innings inside 3 days. Australia didn’t even post a gigantic total, 419, […]
Any lingering hope that England might have had of somehow retaining the Ashes all but disappeared today thanks to some masterful batting from the Australians. Hussey, Clarke and Gilchrist all hit hundreds, though in Gilchrist’s case, hit is a bit of an understatement. If you could roll the words “smashed”, “thumped”, “walloped” and “blasted” all […]
I nearly started this entry with “Despite our best intentions” but I thought better of it. Why? Because I don’t think you can really doubt England going about things with their best intentions. Many punters around the various blogs and forums have described England’s lack of commitment as “shameful”, suggesting that our men are not […]
There’s no disputing it. It has been said for months now - Monty Panesar should have been in the squad ahead of Giles. Heck, I’m struggling to remember the last person, besides Fletcher, who actually backs Giles’ selection. But seeing as Fletcher is in charge, Giles got the nod, Panesar got the drinks tray, and […]
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 […]
