Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

May 23rd, 2007

Schofield report tomorrow

The results of the inquest into England’s shocking performance in Australia this Winter will be published tomorrow. Anticipation is high surrounding the thoughts of 6 men, including Nasser Hussein and Angus Fraser, on where England went wrong (well, we already know that) but importantly what should be done in going forward in to the future. […]

Steve Harmison - a reminder

I hope Steve has screwed his head back on. If he has, then watch out West Indies.

Tresco back on track?

After Marcus Trecothick’s epic departure from the Ashes, which was the catalyst for the England top order’s abject failure to score anything like a decent total ever since, he’s put the cat amongst the pigeons once again by showing us exactly what we’re missing in the side at the moment. After surgery for a double-hernia […]

Idiots.

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: Being an England cricket fan can be very hard work sometimes. Armies of faithful English fans mortgaged their kidneys and their grannies to get out to Australia for the Ashes. Others changed their sleep patterns and abandoned their kids and jobs so that they could be […]

Literary genius

David Graveney somewhat ridiculously called for an apology from anyone who doubted Duncan Fletcher’s ability, following England’s success in the CB Trophy. Evidently Graveney was on the bog when England lost the Ashes. It is often said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but sometimes it is the only medium to portray your […]

Bitter end to tour

England’s physio was robbed at knifepoint by a gang of masked thieves, whilst “sharing drinks” with Andrew Strauss and a few other team peeps in their Sydney hotel. It sounds like an isolated incident, and that the robbers weren’t cricket fans who were annoyed Dean Conway for sorting out all England’s injured players. If anything, […]

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 […]

Ponting says it all

“I was surprised Panesar didn’t start and I couldn’t really work out why Read didn’t start, either. He certainly looks the part with the gloves and he did OK in the Pakistan series with the bat. At the end of the day, you have to pick your best players and in the last couple of […]

Relent! Relent!

As the Commonwealth Bank trophy continued to trundle on through the never-ending “group stages” and after reading Tim DeLisles’s We Want Less, I got to thinking about the state of the travelling throughout this Ashes tour. And I even knocked up a little graphic to illustrate (using the first test in Brisbane as a starting […]

England fans: do not read this

If, like me, you’re an England fan, who will always be an England fan, who, despite the malaise and farce that surrounds this Ashes tour, still manages to maintain some respect and faith in our boys, certain that despite their thorough whooping, they still tried their hardest, did their best and gave it everything, then […]
