Kieswetter gets England call

Posted on February 20, 2010

Craig Kieswetter's call up to the ODI squad for the Bangladesh tour could mean Matt Prior's limited overs days are numbered. Matt Prior has been ok for England in ODI's, but he hasn't set the world on fire and Kieswetter's performance for England Lions last week all but demanded he be looked at. It's good to see the English selectors being positive and bullish about this (although the timing of th...

India V South Africa, 2nd Test, Day 5

Posted on February 17, 2010

South Africa are 232 runs behind, SA 296 & 115/3, India 643/6 dec - India need 7 wickets to win Just over 34 overs were bowled on the 4th day due to a combination of rain, a wet outfield and bad light. All this means that South Africa are a lot closer to saving the Test match and getting the much sought after series win. Having said that SA have lost Smith, Petersen and Kallis. Add to that the ab...

India V South Africa, 2nd Test, Day 4

Posted on February 16, 2010

South Africa are 341 runs behind, SA 296 & 6/0, IND 643/6 dec By my calculations South Africa will have to bat well into the final session of Day 5 if they are to save this match and stave off the inevitable 'chokers' headlines that will await them in the home press. If they bat for five sessions and score 500 runs, you would still have to fancy India to get the 150 plus runs needed to level the ...

India V South Africa, 2nd Test, Day 3

Posted on February 15, 2010

India are 46 runs ahead with 5 wickets remaining, IND 342/5, SA 296 A great Test match is developing here as South Africa fought back to give themselves a lifeline with 3 wickets for 5 runs at the end of day 2. At 331/2, South Africa were down and out, then came a mini collapse (compared to Day 1) which saw JP Duminy finally contribute to the Test match when he got rid of Sehawag (165) to break h...

India V South Africa, 2nd Test, Day 2

Posted on February 14, 2010

South Africa are 266 for 9 at stumps. An early set back for South Africa in the shape of an injury to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher didn't appear at first to have any impact as Alviro Petersen and Hashim Amla both scored centuries. Petersen came in for the injured Boucher and opened, with AB de Villiers taking over behind the stumps. At 228/2 at tea the series was South Africa's, surely it was imposs...

Australia V West Indies, 4th ODI

Posted on February 13, 2010

Not much to say about this one really, Australia are far too short to back at 2/7 with Boylesports and West Indies are too unreliable to be backed at 10/3 with Bet365 and Totesport . Apart from that the series is 2-0 to Australia, and Windies can't now win it, as predicted by Chris Galye. West Indies were in with a shout of winning the 3rd match, after bowling Australia out for just 225 the rain t...

India V South Africa, 2nd Test

Posted on February 13, 2010

India will be looking to level the series when the 2nd Test starts later today in Kolkata, after getting a good hammering in the 1st Test, India have one chance to stave off a rare home series defeat in this shortened best of two matches. Having VVS Laxman back will be a big bonus for the Indians, they badly missed him in the 1st Test as their inexperienced batting line up couldn't handle Dale Ste...

The Wit of Dickie Bird

Posted on February 10, 2010

There are some people in cricket who can instantly bring a smile to your face, just the sound of their voice can make you laugh, one of those people for me is the great Dickie Bird. Hearing him on the radio today, again had that effect on me. Bird was on to talk about his fellow Yorkshireman, the late, great Fred Trueman. During the interview Bird was informed that Devon Malcolm is planning on bec...

Shane Warne

Posted on February 8, 2010

No great surprise to hear Shane Warne giving his views today on the issue of Andrew Strauss deciding not to tour Bangladesh later this month. As an Englishman I sometimes think, should I be pissed off with Warne criticizing English cricket? And the answer is, No, I don't believe I should be. Warne dosen't just slag something or someone off when giving his view, his comments are generally construct...
