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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
You’d rightly be feeling a little bit miffed at the moment. You can’t escape the hype surrounding Shane Warne and his 700th test wicket. Heck, I’m as guilty of it as anyone. Yes, 700 wickets is a huge feat and no doubt his impending retirement has added to the hype, but it seems one or […]
There’s no disputing it. It has been said for months now - Monty Panesar should have been in the squad ahead of Giles. Heck, I’m struggling to remember the last person, besides Fletcher, who actually backs Giles’ selection. But seeing as Fletcher is in charge, Giles got the nod, Panesar got the drinks tray, and […]
Wow, there are some angry people out there. No more than a nanosecond after England snatched defeat in the 2nd test of the Ashes, and the hands are out and the gloves most definitely are off. Visit any sports website, news website, forum, messageboard, chatroom and pretty much any blog and the vultures are already […]
Day 2 could easily have gone one of two ways, in fact I expected it. Possibility 1: Australia would bat like demons, score 600 before tea and reduce England to 25/4 by the close of play. Possibility 2: Australia would buckle under the pressure, get bowled out for a hundred and be forced to follow […]
The fact that the game even made it to 5 days is at least testament to England’s stubbornness. Sure, people will question why Ponting did not enforce the follow on, which would have conceivably ended the game inside 4 days, but still, yet another* example of Australian arrogance. It wasn’t good enough to beat England, […]
There’s not much to be said for the state of the game, and despite Paul Collingwood and KP salvaging a bit of pride for the English, it came too late - in fact, in true England style - when the game is lost, we’ll start to play. Man, I’m getting cynical.

Despite the hype and build up to yesterday’s first day, there was always a nag in the back of my mind, a kind of “impending doom” feeling. And despite only being half awake, not even really believing that it was all about to start, getting over the shock of Giles getting the nod ahead of […]
