You might not choose Tuffers' brain, but what about his sausage?
Mike Gatting used to be King of England in the sixteenth century
Vaughan's our skipper, but who else made the cut?
We’d really like to talk about the cricket. But there’s not much to say. England lost the toss and New Zealand chose to bowl. Then in rained … a lot. No play was possible on day one. If it’s blue skies and good batting conditions tomorrow, the Kiwis will be cursing their decision to field.…
While the relentless South Africans have been bowling out Pakistan for 49, there isn’t much for us England fans to do except twiddle our thumbs and look forward to the Ashes; we won’t get another crack at the flukey (ahem) Cricketboks until January 2016. Of course, there’s the NZ tour to look forward to, but…
This is the side that would have beaten Steve Waugh’s Australians (maybe). If only they’d been born at a similar time so they were at the peak of their powers together. Of course, if Keith Fletcher was the coach, and they were still playing for their counties the day before a test, it wouldn’t have…
England 413 and 58 for 0 beat India 327 and 142 by a country mile Ok, so ‘miracle’ might be too strong a word, but be honest. How many England supporters really thought we’d have a rat’s posterior’s chance of winning this match – especially when we lost the toss on Friday morning? Test matches…
If we weren’t doomed before … Swanny says he expects England to ‘dominate’ India’s spinners Graeme Swann is one of our favourite cricketers. We love him to death here at TFT. But sometimes, just sometimes, he’s a bit like that embarrassing girlfriend you used to have – you know, the quirky one you really fancied…
Go get ‘em Wrighty England 196-5 (20 overs) Afghanistan 80 (17.2 overs) England were always going to beat Afghanistan. Never once did it cross our minds that we might actually lose. Not even when the third best batsman wicket-keeper in the side, Craig Kieswetter, played out a maiden and then got bowled – leaving us 0-1…
South Africa 262-7 I really must stop sitting on the fence. It’s not me. Having failed miserably to take sides in the Kevin Pietersen debacle, I now can’t decide whether England have had a good day or a bad one. Does that make me indecisive? I can’t decide. On the one hand, we should be…
I’ll just go and practice in the nets then, shall I?! South Africa 262-5 stumps When asked about the balance of the team on Wednesday, Andy Flower said that the makeup of the side that got thrashed at the Oval had been the basis of the team’s success in the past, and therefore he saw…
Sri Lanka 275 & 278. England 460 & 97-2. England win by 8 wickets (phew) We both knew England would chase 94 to win, right? We never thought in a million years that we’d cock it up; not even when Strauss fell in the very first over. Nah. We always had total confidence in our…
You’ve got to love Graeme Swann. If there’s a spade in the room, the chances of him calling it a shovel are zero. When interviewed about Michael Yardy’s withdrawal from the World Cup yesterday, the world’s premier off-spinner, fans’ favourite, and general good egg, said what all England’s players (and most fans) have been thinking…
After years of enduring the likes of Eddie Hemmings and Nick Cook (remember him? The one that couldn’t actually let go of the ball) it still seems bizarre that we’ve got the world’s number one slow bowler. Spinners used to be the ones that tormented us, not the other way around. Some of you might…
It’s brilliant we won in Adelaide. The media reaction has been suitably euphoric. In fact, if I was awarded a run for every article I’ve read discussing ‘England’s greatest victories’ in the last fourty eight hours, my batting average might be pushing three figures. But the cricket statisticians have overlooked one important fact. What happened after…
“A glare from Stuart Broad…seems roughly equivalent to be being sworn at by Aled Jones.” Gideon Haigh of The Times on England’s failed attempt to stare out Hussey. “I’m starting with newcastle brown ale in respect of big harm, tetley-hoggy, cider-tres, butcher-london pride, collingwood-ginger ale, strauss-pimm’s”. Andrew Flintoff raises a glass to his former team-mates…
