Today guest writer Ritam Basu talks about a new site that predicts the outcome of cricket matches. Clever eh? As a hardcore cricket tragic, I’ve always wondered where I could find the best cricket predictions for national teams such as England and India plus top leagues like the IPL. Therefore I decided to search the web for unique, accurate cricket match predictions. This is what I found. Obviously there’s a whole heap of useful cricket information at our fingertips these days. All the...
How To Get More Out Of Watching The Game
There is nothing quite like watching a live sports match, especially if it is your favourite team playing. Whether you are watching at home by yourself, at a bar with a few friends or even at the game, it is sure to be full of excitement and an enjoyable experience. While simply watching the game can be exciting enough, there are a few ways that you could make the experience even greater. So, if you have plans to watch any sporting fixture any time soon and you want an even better experience...
Injury Problems
Today we have a guest article about the injuries suffered by fast bowlers. Apparently there are 5 main cricket injuries commonly found in modern cricket.

The best cricket...
Beware the Talkers. Hire Walkers.
Ten months on from England’s capitulation at the cricket world cup, we can finally put the team’s abject performance into some kind of perspective.

It’s now more than apparent that English sportsmen and the knockout stages of world cups don’t mix. We just don’t like them very much. As a nation we very much prefer what I call the baseball rule: three misses...
Downton, Clarke and Lancaster Bombing
This is a cricket blog, so I never really get to express my love of rugby union. If the England cricket team is my first love, then Worcester Warriors – another team that have given me a rollercoaster ride over the years – are my second. You could say I’m married to both. I was lucky enough to be at Twickenham last weekend to see England lose to Wales. I say ‘lucky’ because the atmosphere was superb, it was a great day out, and I’m half Welsh. However, I felt...
Balancing the tightrope
Although team selection issues may divide opinion, it almost goes without saying that the vast majority of English cricket fans are appalled by the ECB’s institutional conduct over recent years. The carve-up of cricket the board agreed with Cricket Australia and the BCCI last year is in my view the most egregious of all of their misdemeanours, given its far-reaching implications for the entire game – but supporters are just as angry with the continued absence of cricket on free-to...
