New Zealand 269 (48.5 overs) England 270-2 (47.4 overs) It’s rarely easy to chase a total of 269 away from home – especially if your team is as inconsistent as Arsenal. However, England managed it at a canter in Napier today. In doing so, we erased our painful loss in the opening ODI, in which…
India 226. England 227-3 (47.2 overs) It’s amazing how a decisive victory in a dead rubber can lift our spirits. When you see the England cricket team play like they did yesterday, with so many first choice players missing, everything seems right with the world. Alternatively, you’ be forgiven for thinking: “why the hell didn’t…

England 257-7. India 258-5 (47.3 overs) If you include warm-up matches, England’s record under Ashley Giles currently reads as won one, lost five. That’s pretty dismal by anyone standards – especially for a side that includes world class players like Cook, Pietersen and Morgan. So should we be despondent? Should we simply shrug our shoulders…
England 325-4 (50 overs) India 316-9 Well, well, well. Ashley Giles has already achieved something Andy Flower could not: an ODI win in the world champions’ back yard. Ian Bell was right. The warm up matches really were meaningless. England’s success was built on the one really strong aspect of our side: the top order…
This aint like dustin’ crops boy. It hasn’t been the most auspicious start for Ashley Giles. England were thrashed in the first warm up game and beaten soundly by Delhi in the second. Thank heavens we weren’t playing Jaipur and Mumbai too, otherwise things might have got really ugly. It’s all the more embarrassing because…
‘The King of Spain’ is taking over as England’s ODI and T20 coach From the moment he gave up playing professional cricket, Ashley Giles has wanted to be England’s head coach. He did everything he needed to do. He cuddled up to the right people at the ECB and was almost immediately made a national…
What was the secret of Warwickshire’s success this year? Congratulations to Warwickshire. The Bears have come good at last and won the county championship. After being cruelly denied the title on the final day of last season, when they couldn’t prise out seven wickets on a pitch with less life in it than an Ian…
When England named their squad for the ODI series in India yesterday, two names jumped off the page. The first was Stuart Meaker of Surrey, who was left out of Surrey’s CB40 final team. The second was Warwickshire seamer Chris Woakes, who seems to split opinion: some think he bowls too slowly to be effective…
