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…
India 316. England 216-1. Stumps. If the fairy godmother (Geoff Boycott in a pink leotard and sparkly skirt?) had visited Alastair Cook in the middle of yesterday night, and asked him how he wanted day two to unfold, he might have said something like this: ‘I’d like to polish India off without conceding more than…
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…
Everyone was behind Colly and the boys in 2009, but will Broad’s team cause a few surprises too? Let’s break this one down. The World T20 is being played in Sri Lanka.

One day, somewhere, a cricket blogger will write an article about Samit Patel without mentioning grub. But until that time, I’m going to continue writing headlines like the one above. Sorry Samit. As some form of consolation, however, we’re tempted to endorse Patel’s claims for a place in the test side. First of all, his…
England 169-4 (19.3 overs) beat India 165 by six wickets It’s England 5 India 0, but last night’s T20 was far closer than any of the test matches. We only just edged it – with ‘edge’ being the operative word. With Bopara and Patel at the crease, it looked like England might blow it…
Tubby or not tubby, fat is the question for Samit Patel – and Andy Flower obviously thinks it’s the former. After being named in the preliminary squad for the World Cup, Patel had a real chance of making the final fifteen. However, Flower revealed yesterday that the Nottinghamshire all-rounder was discounted because his waistline has…
Imran wants to change the world. Eddie Hemmings runs a village shop.
Is the era of freelance cricketers upon us?
