Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

March 19th, 2007

Six and Out one year old today

Just a quick note to say that SixandOut is one year old today. I’m not going to blabber on and say how I’d like to thank my parents and my goldfish and the guy who cuts my grass (because I don’t have such a guy) because frankly there’s plenty of other stuff going on at […]

Sydney : Day 1 : This feels familiar

The final test of this bizarre Ashes series finally got underway, with most of the focus on just getting these matches over with rather than anyone actually particularly caring about the cricket. Sure, there’s the question over the first Ashes whitewash in a gazillion years, something that Australia are keen to achieve, and something England […]

Interesting foresight

I was reading through some old posts on my personal blog and came across a commentary I made about English cricket. I was wrong about the Ashes that year, but I was right about the Ashes this year:

When’s it all gonna come crashing down then? Seriously. 8 straight test wins in a row is something […]

Melbourne : Day 3 : Get out the paint

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, […]

England’s new lineup kinda sucks

So the first chapter in the new England side had a distinctly bitter ending. Was it really a new chapter in England’s history? I was hoping so. Flintoff was back. Andersen was back. It was the first cricket after the fateful Pakistan series. The ICC Champions Trophy is the final prelude to the Ashes. And […]

Windies seal place in Group

The Windies continued their winning run in the ICC Champions Trophy by spanking the Bangladesh Tigers by 10 wickets. The holders of the cup look in good form, something they’re surely not used to, and a win in the qualification stages will see them progress to Group B.
I’m really trying to be as positive as […]

Hampshire gain promotion in Pro-40

Hampshire stuffed Glamorgan in the Pro-40 playoff. Hampshire Hawks, who finished third in Division 2 were up against Glamorgan Dragns, who finished third from bottom in Division 1. That means Hampshire will be promoted to Division 1 for next season and Glamorgan will be in Division 2 next season. The match was won by a […]

Essex claim Pro-40 title

Essex were yesterday crowned Pro-40 champions for the second year in a row. (Sort of, as last year it was the Totesport national league, but it’s essentially the same competition, which Essex won last year.) The result was slightly ironic - as they got stuffed by bottom of division Durham, who will now be relegated. […]

Pakistan tour finally comes to an end

I for one am quite pleased for this tour to end. It seems like it’s gone forever. This is most likely due to the long summer of cricket that has been played, which over the last year has included Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan again, with varying levels of success. And I suppose blogging […]
