The ECB have named Ken Schofield as lead prosecutor investigator in the witch-hunt investigation to determine exactly what happened in the Ashes. Ken Schofield is actually a golf man, having spent a few years as director of the European tour.
Also appointed are Nasser Hussein, Michael Atherton and Angus Fraser, with two, as yet, unfilled spots […]
Does this series not know when to quit? Just when you thought that a 5-0 crushing in the Test series had to be the lowest point of the tour for all England fans, this match made the tour take a turn for the ridiculous. I actually wasn’t around to see the England get stuffed by […]
There seems little point in coming up with a kind of Ashes “report card” since it’s blindingly obvious that Australia aced it, and England should be sent to summer school to resit their exams. (Maybe they should even be held back a year and forced to learn it all over again?). No, instead, I think […]
That was, as I said it would be, the proverbial that. England finally hung up their boots and signalled their defeat by losing the 5th test match of this Ashes series, affording the first whitewash in 80 years to Australia. There was never really likely to be a different result. Even Monty’s magical powers couldn’t […]
You decide. I’ve put a poll up to the right of this post. Who will it be? I added some English players to the list, more as a joke than anything else, but I have to say I was struggling to even think of names who might have been considered for it.
Inevitably it will be […]
That, as they say, is pretty much that. Although England have managed to string this out to a fourth day, but at what equates to 12/5, the first Ashes whitewash in 80 odd years is now inevitable. Australia’s tail managed to do exactly what England’s tail (and top order, for that matter) failed to do: […]
No, you didn’t read that wrong, the title of this post IS moreorless identical to the one I used yesterday. Because, sadly, it IS all too familiar. England got a start and then crumbled to all out for less than 300. I’m struggling not to use the word capitulate as I’m aware that I’ve used […]
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 […]
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 […]
… in one easy go. One crappy A4 sheet, covered in scribble and question marks and absolutely zero indication that they had a workable plan to get rid of the Australian batsmen. For example, they were relying on Hayden’s ego to get him out, Symonds forgetting to bring his feet, and the Gods of “fair […]
Six and Out - We are cricket maniacs and we live the game -- cricket news, science, philosophy, history and other things about cricket that you will not learn anywhere else.
