Was Sepp’s legacy already decided?

Posted on December 2, 2010

The fall out from England's failed world cup bid is already in full flow and fingers are already being pointed in all kinds of directions with FIFA, the FA, Panorama and even Vlaiamir Putin all coming in for stick. One thing I do believe though, is that never again should we be putting people like our future King (and I'm not a Royalist), our PM (or a massive fan of Cameron) and footballing icons ...

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field

Posted on December 1, 2010

Theres a line I didn't expect to read on Cricinfo when I checked to see what the score was on Day 1 of the 3rd test, it's almost as rare as seeing a Paul Collingwood century or Gile$ Clar£e turning down a large cheque for the long term benefit of cricket in England. On further inspection, it wasn't a major surprise to find that it was damp, overcast conditions in Pallekele, with plenty of rain in...

Can England get the 2018 World Cup?

Posted on December 1, 2010

Well according to the bookmakers, England are now remarkably the favourites in the betting again. We were out to 3rd favourite on Monday after the now infamous Panorama programme, but are now back at around even money (with Bet365) favourites. I think that the positive publicity created by the appearance of David Cameron, Prince William and David Beckham seems to have sparked a new wave of optimis...

‘Beware of the Dog’ Wins Sportsbook of the Year

Posted on November 30, 2010

Congratulations to Brian Moore on his book 'Beware of the Dog' winning the William Hill Sportsbook of the year award. I was listening live on the radio when the winner was announced today and was amazed to hear that Moore seemed lost for words when given the award, I don't think I've ever known that before. It obviously meant a lot to him as he was also very emotional, later saying how no rugby vi...

El Clasico

Posted on November 29, 2010

Or more like El Thrashio! What a performance it was by Barcelona. They didn't just hammer Real Madrid, they humiliated them with their 5-0 victory. Barcelona comfortably outclassed Madrid, Mourinho's men could hardly get a foot on the ball, let alone keep it for any period of time. Barcelona showed more passion, hunger and discipline. But the thing that really impressed me the most was their total...

An Apology to Alastair Cook

Posted on November 29, 2010

When I wrote my rather critical profile of Alastair Cook last week, I mentioned at the end that I would be only too happy to be proved wrong and write an apology to Cook at the end of the series, should it go well for him. Well I'm going early, I don't think there is any need to wait any longer. I've just about recovered from the shock of the last two days and the embarrassment of how stupid you c...

Where did that come from?

Posted on November 28, 2010

Have to be honest, after the 1st innings effort I certainly didn't see this performance coming. Don't want to tempt fate, but we now have more than a decent chance of leaving Brisbane with a credible draw (famous last words). England didn't just occupy the crease on Day 4, they took the attack to the Aussies scoring at well over 3 an over on the day. Strauss and Cook have now shown that we do have...

It’s Official – 260 is a Shit Score

Posted on November 27, 2010

I usually reserve judgement on what a decent 1st innings score is (unless it's 88 all out ) until after both sides have batted. That has now happened and as suspected England's 1st innings effort simply wasn't good enough. I said on this blog before, that the key to England getting anything out of this test series is our batting. England's bowlers showed plenty of heart, but ultimately they didn't...

Back in the Balance

Posted on November 26, 2010

Are England just teasing us fans, or are they the real deal? I watched the 1st session before giving into sleep last night, then when I put my TV on in the morning with the ususal trepidation, I was half expecting to find Australia all out for 200, or find that they spanked England's bowlers and ended Day 2 on about 300 for 4. As it turned out I was pleasantly surprised to see how well we had con...
