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?
Thanks to Maxie for his spoof of the Australian touring squad last week; my particular favourite was left arm spinner Xavier Hope. Looking at the Canary Yellows squad – robbed of Pat Cummins through injury – I personally don’t think they’ve got a hope (although stranger things have happened). Perhaps us England fans shouldn’t be so…
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…
Looking forward to seeing more of this bloke next summer? Me neither. This blog post would have been called ‘The Sunday Roast’, but it’s a day too early for that. Still, what’s twenty four hours between friends? There’s so much to discuss at the moment: There’s England’s selection dilemma – Jonny Bairstow’s century today has…
‘Hmmm I must remember to pack my Lonely Planet Guide’: Nick Compton will have lots of spare time on his hands if KP goes to India Will Kevin Pietersen play in the test series against India? That’s what everyone’s talking about; that and Australia’s pathetic display in the semi finals of the T20 of course (tee hee). The logic…
England’s tactical think tank has some work to do Windies 179-5. England 164-4 Once upon a time, England ruled the waves in T20 cricket. We had openers that didn’t get out in the first over, an explosive middle order, bowling options coming out of our ears, a captain with tactical nous, and the X factor…
Are the good times over? Lose KP and any advantage we had going into the 2013 Ashes will be lost If I was in a high profile cricket team, and my teammates followed a twitter account that extracted the Michael out of me mercilessly, I’d feel pretty insecure. I’d definitely question whether I wanted to play with…
I imagine that supporting the West Indies is a bit like being a Nottingham Forest fan. Your team used to be the best in the business, playing entertaining stuff that had neutrals purring, but humiliation is now as frequent and predictable as digs at the coalition government on BBC’s Question Time. And just when you…
We’re really not surprised that England lost the first T20 yesterday. Judging by the team the England management put out, we can only assume they didn’t actually want to win. How many teams need three wicket-keepers? It’s ridiculous. Two usually suffices in sixteen man squads for five match test series, so why England needed three for a…
England 367-4 (50 overs). Hyderabad XI 114 (35.3 overs). England won by 253 runs It’s not often that a young cricketer emerges on the scene and blows everyone away – especially when that cricketer is English. Ok, so yesterday’s match was only a warm up against a Hyderabad XI, but to score 104no off just…
The relationship between English cricket and the Indians has been somewhat strained this summer. After the controversial dismissals of Rahul Dravid (and the ensuing row about the DRS) many Indians genuinely seem to hate us. We’ve been accused of all kinds of things, from ‘double standards’ to cheating and ‘failing to observe the spirit of…
