So Steven Finn is to follow the path trodden by Stuart Broad and miss England’s one-day internationals against Australia and Bangladesh to undergo a “strengthening programme”.
Am I alone in being reminded of the close of t...(

What’s not to love about Tamim Iqbal? Nothing, frankly.

Is Matt Prior’s place in the Test side really under threat from Craig Kieswetter? Some say it is – Scyld Berry discusses the situation in today’s Telegraph – but that seems very premature to me.
Don’t get me w...(

I’m in Prague on holiday – a stunning ancient city of spires, mystical allyways and gothic architecture – which isn’t a place you’d normally associate with cricket (with all due respect to Angus Bell’s wo...(

Keep forgetting to post this – an engaging, vivid piece on David Lloyd, known to fans and friends as Bumble. I got to know him a little the last few years and he’s every bit as witty, interesting and humble (Bumble) as this piec...(

Shameless plug, you might think. But it does have value; ESPNPlayer.com is offering season passes (or daily passes) for all England’s international summer season. Even without my work hat on, the quality is astonishingly good. Unfortu...(

Barring an unforseen change to the Future Tours Programme, England will not play a home Test against Bangladesh for at least another ten years. Shame.
How’s this for improvement: five years ago – in the two-Test Ashes warm-up &#...(

He’s clearly got something, hasn’t he?
As ever, it’s difficult to judge a bowler’s potential against Bangladesh – even taking into consideration their stupendous performance today. But taken in complete isolati...(

From Patrick Kidd.
A horrid innovation was unveiled at Lord’s yesterday. An hour into the day, the dulcet voice of Johnny Dennis, the longserving PA announcer, told us: “And now a Buxton’s drink break…”
It was ...(

So the Bangladeshis have arrived in London. I’m afraid that’s the only connection to cricket for this post; a rather crude segue, but who cares?
Yes. So I was telling a friend this tonight and keep meaning to pen it down as it&#...(

The way some media outlets have reported Eoin Morgan’s elevation to England’s Test squad, you would think he was coming from a different sport. A one-day specialist playing for the Test team?! That’s like Jenson Button dri...(

Sorry for lack of posts. It’s a little hard to find the time these days, and I spent the last week working in the States, so I’m a little frazzled at the thought of England taking on Bangladesh. On Thursday. How is it summer alr...(

One-day batting may have advanced since 1993, but England’s individual record ODI score hasn’t. Seventeen years ago yesterday Robin Smith blasted 167* against Australia at Edgbaston. No Englishman has surpassed that since and fe...(

Shane Warne doesn’t do understated, as demonstrated by his first Telegraph column in today’s paper (and his hair being on fire in this picture).
