Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

Wet Weather Washes Windies Woes aWay

The 4th test between England and West Indies failed to get underway today due to torrential rain in most of northern England. That the game was abandoned by midday says plenty about exactly how wet it is. The forecast isn’t great for the next few days so it could be a very frustrating time indeed […]

Sideshow Bob back for England

Ryan Sideshow BottomBob is back for England in the 2nd test against the West Indies, drafted in to provide cover for injured Matthew Hoggard.
I can’t actually find anything else to say about it. Is it a good idea? I don’t know, but I think any person with as hair as cool as that deserves a […]

New ‘Team England’

The waiting is over. The question has been answered. The era of a new English cricket team has been officially ushered in and it’s all systems go. New coach Peter Moores has made a statement. He’s done it. This is the one. The New England Squad. Wow. Exciting.
Oh wait, it’s the same squad as the […]

Vaughan to miss… some more cricket

Oop. You know it’s bad when you start typing an entry and you’ve already used it before. Well, it did save me a few characters typing when the autocomplete thingy did it for me. But yes, Vaughan, bless him, has injured himself again. This time it’s his finger after copping one on the hand from […]

Our Captain Sucks!

Referring to Flintoff, as Captain, that is. As a player and a man he’s a total legend, but I couldn’t think of the best way of describing the irony, nay hipocrisy of the whole England team Captain / management / selection issue. Here’s a brief timeline:

Flintoff appointed Test captain, England lose 5-0
Flintoff loses some ODIs
Vaughan […]

England do the unthinkable

Who would have thought it? Less than 2 weeks ago, the England cricket team was a dismantled wreck, a bunch of men who had been beaten and flogged repeatedly until they were little more than a shell of team. On the back of a catastrophic 5-0 drubbing in the Ashes, England did as everyone might […]

Herschelle Gibbs banned for racist comments

South African batsman Herschelle Gibbs has been banned from Test cricket for two matches after the stumpcam in South Africa’s match against Pakistan picked up some rather unsavoury comments. In fact, if you don’t like unsavoury things, then I suggest you stop reading.
Gibbs was recorded as saying:
“You fucking bunch of fucking animals… fucking go back […]
