Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

June 26th, 2007

5 over game = legitimate?

The Twenty20 season hasn’t got off to the best start this year, but I have to say I am enjoying it. It has recently been marred from some peculiar and football-hooligan-esque behaviour at the game between Middlesex and Hampshire, where Middlesex has their dressing room broken in to by thieves who stole wallets and other […]

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.

Sticky Wicket: The Yips

Whilst the ICC Champions Trophy trudges dull-ly along with scant chance of seeing any sort of exciting gamesplay, I thought I start a feature that looked at the quirkier side of cricket. It might turn out as a sort of cricketing glossary. Similar to the feature that Channel4 used to run, before they stupidly gave […]

Monty Panesar drinking game

Monty Panesar, England’s spin bowler has developed a cult following amongst leagues of English supporters. He has made himself famous for being a frankly terrible fielder, and equally useless batsman. English fans cheer and jeer whenever he fields (or fails to field) a ball. It’s all supposedly light-hearted stuff, but some peeps have even gone […]
