An interesting game in Harare

Posted on August 7, 2011

With the current England V India series taking place, which includes stupid run outs, commentary box spats and Indians getting upset over Vaseline jibes from ex England captains, it is very easy to overlook the fact that there is test cricket going on in another part of the world. There is currently a great test match taking place at the Harare Sports Club, between the host nation Zimbabwe and Ba...

One more chance for Ravi?

Posted on August 7, 2011

So it's Ravi Bopara who gets the nod to replace the injured Jonathan Trott in the England squad for the 3rd test starting at Edgbaston on Wednesday. Although he's only 26 himself, I believe the chances are that this could be one of Ravi's last chances to prove to the selectors that he can deliver at this level. Leicestershire's James Taylor would appear to be breathing down his neck and at 21 the...

Grumpy Gus Fraser is right!

Posted on August 2, 2011

I heard an interesting interview with Angus Fraser (yes, grumpy Gus can be interesting at times) on Talksport earlier in response to his article in today's Independent about the now infamous non run out of Ian Bell. Gus made some good points about what is and isn't acceptable levels of gamesmanship within cricket and sport in general. For example, is it acceptable for a bowler to appeal for lbw ev...

England win the test they had no right too.

Posted on August 1, 2011

This was another magnificent victory and performance from England at Trent Bridge. Too win a test match by 319 runs when you were 88/6 and 124/8 back on Day 1 and effectively already beaten is a major achievement in my view. England really had no right to win this match from there, they were dead and buried. The turnaround in fortunes was amazing. India were in total control of the test match at t...

The Selectors and Stuart Broad

Posted on July 31, 2011

Yet again I've been proved totally wrong and the selectors proved totally right. I never actually called for Stuart Broad to be dropped, but I did think that Tim Bresnan deserved to play at Lord's in his place and I thought Broad was very lucky to be retained in the side after some of his indifferent performances this summer. Luckily I don't pick the England team, the selectors, Andrew Strauss and...

Common Sense Prevails

Posted on July 31, 2011

I'm not going to dwell on the issue of the Ian Bell run out for too long as I believe it has already been blown well out of all proportion. First I have to say well done to MS Dhoni and the Indian team for their decision to withdraw their appeal for Ian Bell's run out, it was the right course of action and the game of cricket was the real winner in the long run. Yes, to the letter of the law India...

Trent Bridge looks like a result wicket

Posted on July 29, 2011

Ahead of the 2nd test starting at Trent Bridge on Friday and all the stats seem to be pointing towards a result. The last draw here was back in 2002 against India in a rain affected match, since then there has been 7 successive results (with no test in 2009), taking those stats on a stage further and there has been only 2 draws in the last 12 tests here. It was also reported on Thursday by Jonatha...

Stealing a Living

Posted on July 27, 2011

As the more astute readers of this blog might have noticed, I have added a cricketers twitter feed to this site. It is intended to give an insight into the world of cricketers, as opposed to seeing drunken tweets from dropped England players slagging off Geoff Miller late at night - only to be removed by the morning. A tweet addressed to Shane Warne from Kevin Pietersen caught my eye on Monday abo...

If you want to be the best team in the world…..

Posted on July 25, 2011

Then you have to be ruthless in situations like the one England found themselves in during this test match. When your opponents are a bit rusty - and lose a quality bowler from a 4 man attack during the first morning, have to rearrange their batting order due to injury and illness and were already missing a quality player like Virender Sehwag - you have to make sure you cash in. And that's exactly...
