Having been stunned into silence by England’s dream-like performance in the Caribbean – and leaving Will to articulate the thoughts of right-minded English cricket followers – I’m now left wondering how big this is.
The obv...(

Defensive prodders abound. Inoffensive seamers and containing off-spinners. Throw in a couple of decent fielders, a “pinch hitter” as the bastardised term was coined in the 1990s, borrowed from baseball, and there you have it: E...(

I’m not going to say anything about England. Not audibly, anyway. A hinted whisper of “what the hell?” with raised eyebrows will do for now. Let’s see…
Back on Earth, I’m in a quandary about this tourname...(

Poor old Mont. He’s not so much drifted out of favour as been drop-kicked over the posts and onto the roof – where, it’s fair to say, he’s struggling to bowl. And he’s had a little hissy fit now, too:
Monty Pa...(

Wasn’t it brilliant? Not only it, the innings in isolation, but to see him back to his very best (or something close to it). His feet moved quickly and decisively, his bat was straight and his stare unflinching to the best bowling att...(

Oh dear me. This can only end in tears. @sachin_rt if you’re either bored or devoted. It’s already spawned a news story from an agency and, in the space of a couple of hours, he has nearly 5000 followers.
Hmm.

You know, it occurs to me watching England stumble confusingly (and a little frighteningly) against Ireland that the same has happened before with two other nations. Australia and New Zealand. Granted, New Zealand are slightly more talented...(

Oh, up yours, Duckworth. And the same to you, Lewis. What a nuisance they are. Aggression seems to be England’s buzz word ce moment and, for once, they lived up to their traditional pre-tournament peacockery with a barnstorming inning...(

Worthy piece on Kieron Pollard, one of the most entertaining, dangerous, muscular West Indian batsmen to emerge in years. What a mountain of a batsman!

A World Cup kicks off tomorrow. England are in it, but it’s not dominating my waking thoughts. Or my sleeping ones. I don’t even have a wall chart up. The IPL has left me a little T20′d out.
But I’m sure, from this ...(

Rob Bond wrote in with a couple of enjoyable cricket-based comedy scetches you may enjoy. Good stuff. Here’s the first:

An idea for Sky: bring back that forgotten broadcasting tool, Player Cam, and have it fixed on Stuart Broad for the next fortnight.
When he’s not busy being devastatingly good with the ball, making devastatingly little progress with ...(

I’m sure Lalit Modi’s Cheshire-cat grin has shone from the front pages of many in India, but rarely, if ever, will the world’s other media outlets have bothered. Until now. This is from Rupert Murdoch’s Times in Lond...(

It’s the final of this year’s IPL today, Mumbai taking on Chennai, so we can all breath a collective sigh of orgasmic delight, nay relief, that cricket can focus on something else. Six weeks is simply too long.
But will this be ...(

But where is the integrity in cricket now? Desperation and greed hang heavy in the air. The game’s sole purpose for many appears to be to make money. Players know they play too much, that the quality of the ‘product’ is suffering, bu...(

Wry, but not inaccurate, musings from Stephen Moss at Lord’s on the Championship at The Guardian:
The skies so empty, London so quiet, we could almost be back in 1947, when Denis Compton was in his pomp, though the batsmanship on a t...(

Here’s one I don’t think anyone saw coming… Surrey are reportedly lining up another foreign star to join Andrew Symonds in their quest for domestic T20 glory: step forward Brian Charles Lara.
Surrey have confirmed contact ...(

Kudos to Surrey’s Arun Harinath, who channelled the spirit of pre-T20 slogathon cricket in compiling 62 from 290 balls today at Hove. He took 233 balls to pass 50, which, the BBC London radio commentators were fairly certain, made it ...(

Say what you like about Kevin Pietersen – and people usually say what they don’t like – but, for me, when he gets going, his batting is one of the best sights in the game. We’ve been waiting for his scores to improve...(

England may have regained the Ashes last year by the narrowest of margins in a close-fought contest, but they nearly cleaned up in the annual battle for Wisden’s coveted Five Cricketers of the Year positions – the oldest individ...(
