Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

June 17th, 2007

Cricket can be a harsh mistress

You do have to feel for some of the West Indians at the moment. Take, for example, Darren Ganga. Captain and opening batsman of a fairly lacklustre West Indian side, that currently is getting rather used to losing. They’ve already lost this series and have one more game to play. Accordingly, the game doesn’t mean […]

Did-win did-win did-win. Just.

Oooh-ee. England continued their rampant meander through this World Cup by accidentally beating Bangladesh in their latest Super 8 clash. England appeared to have taken heed of the must-win status, when the bowlers did a good job in bowling the ‘deshi’s out for 143. Sajid Mahmood generated some good pace and did a good job […]
