Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

September 30th, 2007

Public Plea to Brett Lee

Lots of bat-and-ball action coming up. I can’t stop you (or me) from watching, but don’t be a loser. Don’t waste all your time to TV - eyes balls protruding out of the sockets and tongue sticking out- marveling at Clarke’s strokes (or hair, if you are female).
In the meanwhile, if you […]

Scapegoating can’t save England now

Day 2, 3rd Test, India vs England, The Oval
England got pounded in to the ground by a rampaging Indian batting attack, that kept going all the way down to number 11. The highlight of the day was the maiden test century, after 118 matches, for Anil Kumble, scoring a delightful 110* to give India a […]

Oh dear God - is it any wonder?

This is typical of the way the British mentality - and specifically the British media mentality - works. On the 1st day of the final test between England and India, India geared themselves up to give England a proper trouncing and in so-doing hand them their first series loss on home soil in some record-breaking […]

85mph at your head = funny?

Mike Atherton has a piece today about how Sreesanth should be issued a ban for bowling a beamer at KP in the 2nd Test. His feeling is that the beamer was intentional.
Watch the video, and decide for yourself:

What do you think? I still believe, as I concluded at the time, that it genuinely slipped out. […]

Jellybeangate

Tempers flared and players from both sides lost control in the 2nd test between India and England at Trent Bridge. Sree Santh has already been fined half his match fee for shoulder barging Michael Vaughan and has also accused of deliberately bowling beamers and no-balls during his spell.
Elsewhere, some serious argy-bargy occurred between Kevien Pietersen […]

Shaky start to 2nd test

2nd Test match, India vs England, Trent Bridge
Fickle weather in England looks set to completely disrupt the 2nd test between England and India. Day 1 didn’t get underway until 1500 and by close of play, England had managed to lose 7 wickets for a mere 170 rus. The Indian bowling was of a reasonable standard […]

1st Test peters out

India vs England, Lord’s Day 5
Sadly, the match that was truly poised for a thrilling finish, came to nothing as England’s shoddy weather intervened. Day 5 started with India needing some 250 runs for the win, or to save 7 wickets to ensure the draw. England were in a strong position after day 4 following […]

Strauss finds some form

The 1st test between England and India got underway with a slightly stuttery start. Winning the toss, England captain Michael Vaughan elected to bat. Alastair Cook was out fairly cheaply, but out-of-form Andrew Strauss made runs (96) in a partnership with Vaughan (79). England were looking great at one point, when they were off the […]

England seal emphatic series victory

England took hold of the dead rubber and gave it a bloody good slap to take an assured 2-0 series victory and turn it in to an emphatic whooping by winning the final match of the series and sealing the 3-0 victory. As rain wiped out the first day and a half, a result looked […]

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 […]
