Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

July 30th, 2007

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 […]

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 […]

Fred starts home schooling

This is why we love Freddie so much. Embroiled in a “row” over Fredalogate following comments from Michael Vaughan, we were all waiting to hear what Fred had to say about it all. Stoic as ever, Fred shrugged it all off. After meeting Vaughan for lunch, Fred’s outlook on the whole issue was, for want […]

The Irony Of It All

The storm in this week’s tea cup (or is that this week’s storm in the tea cup, I’m not sure, although I don’t think it especially matters) is dredging up of Fredalogate which happened, as far as I can tell, for exactly no reason whatsoever. Whether or not some cricket journo was having a really […]

Did-win did-win did-win. Just.

Oooh-ee. England continued their rampant meander through this World Cup by accidentally beating Bangladesh in their latest Super 8 clash. England appeared to have taken heed of the must-win status, when the bowlers did a good job in bowling the ‘deshi’s out for 143. Sajid Mahmood generated some good pace and did a good job […]

World Cup settles down a bit

The first week of the World Cup came chock full of shock, surprise and unexpected things. Ireland beating Pakistan, Bangladesh beating India, Flintoff getting dropped from the England side, and, of course, the sad news about Bob Woolmer. All things were ‘go’ from the off. But things have settled now as the major teams in […]

There are one or two obvious things about this squad: 1) Vaughan is in it, despite all his recent injury concerns. Certainly Vaughan is the best man for […]

Vaughan out; Flintoff captain

What was I saying about this team being in reverse? No sooner was Michael Vaughan back in the team after being out through injury, he is again back out of the team through injury - apparently he’s torn his hamstring. Now, I know that “tearing a hamstring” tends to sound considerably worse than it really […]

CB Trophy: England finally win something

Well one of the big questions was answered yesterday as England managed to scrape a win out of its contest with New Zealand, albeit only just. Neither side played with much conviction, as New Zealand posted a miserable 205 off their 50 overs, and England miserably managed to score the required runs, with just one […]

Ahead of Perth

Despite the 3rd Test, hell, the rest of the series being moreorless a foregone conclusion, all England fans*, myself included, will be watching avidly to see if England could actually get any worse than at Adelaide. Or Brisbane. Doesn’t matter which. The point is they must get better, and they must win this match. (A […]
