Of all the pressures cricketers have to contend with – big matches, loss of form, playing for place in the side, tricky pitches, girlfriend watching in the crowd - knowing a particular match is a once-in-a-career opportunity is sur...(

A warm welcome to Vithushan Ehantharajah, a freelance sports journalist, new to The Corridor… Unfortunately I was unable to see England (unofficially) make it to the top of the ICC Test rankings; a combination of work and chalking up ...(

So Stuart Broad keeps his Test squad place and, of course, he’ll play on Thursday. As well he should. Broad has lacked rhythm since returning from injury, that’s all. Reports of any longer-term malaise are short sighted and e...(

Kevin Pietersen skips forward two paces and mauls the left arm spinner through extra cover first ball. Confident, brutal and genuine; he’s not bluffing this time. That shot – one ball before lunch on day three at the Rose Bowl &...(

Some praise, this (from Scyld Berry): Nobody so tall has been as fast and formidable as Chris Tremlett on the quickest pitch of this series, save perhaps Joel Garner in the mood As it stands this evening, Tremlett has 44 Test wickets at 24....(

No sooner had I announced my retirement than I’m making a comeback. Call me Shaun Udal. Actually don’t (top bloke and Middlesex legend though he is). Anyway, reason being for this post is I watched (at long last) Fire in Babylon...(

I started this blog in 2004. It’s now quite old, and with each year I’ve written less and less, mainly due to a lack of time. But also, I have to admit, my intense love of the game has waned significantly in the last two years; ...(

It had me from the word go. Any film that begins with footage of former England batsman Robin Smith facing up – or rather ducking down – to a barrage of the fastest, most intimidating bowling imaginable goes straight to the top ...(

I don’t know, but the Durham website has an interview with the leg-spinner who is attracting the attention of cricket journalists this season. Jonathan Calder blogs at Liberal England....(

With things a little quiet around here, it falls to me to mark a piece of cricket history. Today, at the age of 15 years and 27 days, Barney Gibson became the youngest county cricketer when he turned out for Yorkshire against Durham MCCU at...(

Barney Ronay has written a rousing piece in the Spin this week about Ravi Bopara’s decision to opt for Essex – and England – over the IPL. Two sentences sum up the gist of his article: This is such a breathtakingly bold decision it is...(

Apologies for the lack of posting recently. County cricket is back – and I aim to be too. With that in mind, I heard a good one down at The Oval on Saturday. Surrey batsman Michael Brown, out to the second ball of his side’s Champio...(

The Telegraph’s Simon Briggs is an excellent sports writer and two of his cricket articles in the past week – one about one of England’s great strengths, the other touching on a danger they face – are well worth a re...(

England’s schizophrenic performance at World Cup 2011 doesn’t really lend itself to analysis. Quite apart from it being far from easy to account for the mix of brilliance and shoddiness they’ve served up in equal measure, ...(

The contrasting actions this weekend of batting greats Ricky Ponting (waiting to be given out despite knowing he was) and Sachin Tendulkar (walking despite being given not out by umpire Steve Davis) have re-opened the never-fully-shut walki...(

The Wisden Cricketer has undergone a few little botox tweaks and looks even better for it. The new issue, complete with summer fixtures wallchart – as much as summer essential as mirrored sunglasses on a Spanish beach – looks ah...(
