Harbhajan Singh is (Not Quite) Brave.

 eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket
I don’t mind when people boo me. The more they do it, the more I’m going to play hard. Actually, it gives me pleasure that everyone knows me at the ground. It inspires me to do well.

That’s very brave of you, Haar-bhajan. Booing inspires you to do […]

Sri Lanka beat England to the finishing post

The World Cup was today treated to a great game of cricket in the Super 8’s. Following on from Ireland and Zimbabwe’s tie, and Sri Lanka’s narrow loss after 4 wickets in 4 balls from Malinga to South Africa, the World Cup finally got interesting with a real edge-of-the-seat affair. Ironically, it was a situation […]

If you were Murali…

You’d rightly be feeling a little bit miffed at the moment. You can’t escape the hype surrounding Shane Warne and his 700th test wicket. Heck, I’m as guilty of it as anyone. Yes, 700 wickets is a huge feat and no doubt his impending retirement has added to the hype, but it seems one or […]

Schoolboy Error

Check out this video of Muttiah Muralitharan getting run out against New Zealand. The dozy twonk leaves his crease to congratulate Kumar Sangakarre on scoring a hundred whilst the ball is still live. Brendan McCullen was well within his rights and the umpire was correct to give him the finger. Captain Mahela Jaywardene protested the […]

Curious absence?

Regular readers of Six and Out will notice that posts here have been a little thin on the ground recently. There are a number of factors at work here, I have all the usual excuses of too much work, not enough time, yahda yahda yahda. But largely I’ve been struggling to think of new ways […]

We don’t like change

Get off my land. Ooo-ar. Oh, sorry. Flashback. Former life. Anyway. There’s something about the current England one-day side that bothers me. It just doesn’t feel like an England side. Well, it does, in as much as the side keeps changing and it’s still a bit pants when it actually comes to playing cricket, but […]

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.

Murali to get all 10

Day 4 of the final test match between England and Sri Lanka. We’ll be chasing over 300 - and it’s a hard one to call. I don’t see England having a snowball’s chance of getting the runs and winning, but salvaging a draw would require batting for 2 days, which also seems unlikely - when […]

Eng v SL, 2nd Test : Day 1 : Some observations

England are on top. End of Day 1, Sri Lanka bowled out for 141, England 130 odd for 3. But it’s not all tea and crumpets just yet. In fact, England being in command after day 1 seem a little familiar. I’m not going to be counting anyone’s chickens in this match… England need to […]
