The farce that is the investigation in to the death of Bob Woolmer looks set to get even worse today with a press conference that is expected to say that Woolmer actually wasn’t murdered after all and he instead died of natural causes. The news follows an investigation by Scotland Yard in to the findings […]
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 […]
Well hurrah for this. As if the recent World Cup and particularly its final was not farcical enough already, it has just taken a turn for the bizarre. After Australia won the World Cup final, not necessarily due to being a better side, but because they could just see in the dark, Adam Gilchrist, who […]
This World Cup has been remarkable. Not necessarily for the outcome nor the cricket played, but for the sheer number of careers that it has claimed. OK, so technically not everyone in this last is quitting for good, but in one form or another they have all retired / resigned / not-had-contracts-renewed as-of the end […]
As if any other result was likely. Admittedly, the circumstances surrounding their victory leave a lot to be desired, but nevertheless, the Aussies did more than enough, both during this game and throughout the tournament to be worthy winners. The final itself has been described as farcical, owing to the match ending in near darkness […]
I’ve got a gift, it seems. Whenever I “big up” anything, it always goes the opposite way. For example, I thought the semi-finals were going to be awesome and they turned out to be totally one-sided. Sri Lanka’s win over New Zealand (despite proving my prediction to be totally wrong) wasn’t so surprising. New Zealand […]
Six weeks later and we’re finally nearing the end of this bizarre World Cup. Fortunately we’ve got two very tasty looking semi-finals on the cards.
Semi 1: Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, Jamaica (Tuesday 24th)
First up is Sri Lanka vs New Zealand. Sri Lanka have the been the “surprise” of the World Cup, after demolishing several […]
England’s final match in the 2007 World Cup neatly signals the start of new things for the side. The match, against the West Indies, was not without its highlights - foremost it was to be Duncan Fletcher’s last game in charge, a fact shadowed by the fact that it was also Brian Lara’s last one […]
Ah well. Hopeless optimism. It’s a skill and a facet of any England supporter. You have to believe. You have to want it. You have to think, that despite everything going against, that England could still prevail. You know that it’s not likely to happen, but there’s always a glimmer of hope. The latest World […]
I had the opportunity to flex my cricketing know-how by appearing on the excellent “My Cricket World Cup” programme on BBC World. Now, it’s safe to say that whenever you hear a recorded version of yourself, you think you sound like a wally, but it’s true, in this case. I’m sure I’m not that posh. […]
