If you were Sanath Jayasuriya right now, you’d be pretty pissed off. Though if you actually were SJ, then you’d be unlikely to be reading this blog as you’d be much too busy spitting feathers at being left out of the test team for the second test between Sri Lanka and England, at Edgbaston.

One of the real barriers to the effective globalisation of cricket is the disparity in the quality of the teams. Australia have been the best for ages, England, Pakistan and India are close behind, with South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka bringing up the rest of the best. Zimbabwe, the West Indies and Bangladesh […]
England yet again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.You saw it, you’ve all read the reports. There’s nothing complex about it. England threw it away. OK, so England didn’t actually lose - the match was drawn. But in the face of it - this is a victory for Sri Lanka. 300 odd runs down […]
No sooner has I posted the bizarreness surrounding the England batting scorecard, when Freddie did the deed and declared. You would expect, therefore, that shortly after England finished their innings, Sri Lanka would go out and start their innings.
Not so! In a highly controversial, and no doubt illegal manouevre, the Sri Lankans apparently substituted their […]

I was in awe of the PR spin machine that managed to find so many positives in England’s recent tour of India, where they got nothing less than a properp whooping. You only have to read the ECB’s annual report and they found something good in it. Well, that makes sense, because there were plenty […]
