This one is crying out for a caption but for the life of me I can’t think of one.
A little help someone?...(more)
Piyush Chawla’s four wicket haul may have tipped the Indian’s edge just a little too soon. How many other teams can play quality spin bowling? Very few contain a quality spinner so playing two or three in one side is going to ...(more)

As an underdog at the big dance the Irish cricket team have to come up with tactics that are a bit out of the ordinary. Here they are practicing an intimidation move they like to call Gang Green. If it works on Jesse Ryder it could well pa...(more)

Ryan ten Doeschate seems a little overwhelmed. It could be culture shock, it could be colour shock, or he just might be trying to remember which team he is playing for this week.
One thing you can say about the Netherlands they are alway...(more)

Sadly we have lost another link to our brylcreamed cricketing past.
Fortunately the quality of the writing and photography from the middle of the 20th century will help to keep the memory of players like Trevor Bailey alive....(more)
Wing Commander Strauss saying good night to the little urn before it is safely tucked away. Until the next family feud erupts over ownership....(more)
I have never been a big fan of Shane Watson’s but I would say it didn’t take a long discussion to decide this year’s Border Medal.
In the end, if he is good enough for AB no one else should quibble.
Strange how a guy lik...(more)

Does it matter what the action is like if you can propel it at 150 clicks?
Well maybe to his chiropractor....(more)
... with a ton.
Nice to see the big fella back, but a thought does cross my mind.
If having a good team "truth, honesty and yelling" session works so well for the Black Caps, why don’t they do it at the start of a series, rather tha...(more)
...like it or not. The World Cup (50 over version) is almost upon us and what better way to celebrate the event than with giant plastic replicas of the trophy. I am hoping the tournament is at least as colourful as the trophies....(more)

The ODI series between NZ and Pakistan has been a god send to the Paskistan team and yet another reality check for the Black Caps.
Young Ahmed Shehzad has been unearthed as a star of the future, bowlers like Riaz have developed ...(more)

Malinga the Slinger is one of my early picks for bowler of the tournament at the World Cup.
He is a little older, and perhaps wiser, now but still has that knock out punch...(more)

Try as they might the Black Caps can’t put a complete performance together.
Both batting and bowling they are able to cobble together a solid 10 overs only for things to start to come unstuck.
The day they manage a complete performa...(more)
Ok, I don’t actually know what, if anything, is on the Pirate Gayle’s mind. I would like to think he is formulating a cunning plan that would see the Windies playing the Black Caps in the World Cup final, but he might just be th...(more)

I haven’t changed my mind.
T20 cricket remains chewing gum and potato chips on my cricketing menu. A bit of instant interest but I have had enough pretty quickly.
One thing that has maintained my interest in the Big Bash is the chan...(more)
Couldn’t resist this as Collingwood just looks as if he is a split second from the big impact.
In Aussie the possum is a protected species, lucky for Paul he is not in NZ....(more)
First Law of Sports Momentum - when you are hot you are hot.
You know the momentum gods are with you when a guy like Trott starts taking wickets.
Perhaps the next ODI should be a man on man encounter between Trott and Watson, while the re...(more)
Some places just don’t make cricket sense.
Queenstown is a great tourist location, wonderful in both summer and winter, but there is something about the look of the place that is incongruous with a game of cricket.
The game the suit...(more)
I have been playing with a bit of vector graphics and offer up this very basic Craig McDermott as an initial offering. In fairness, McDermott was always a fairly straight forward character any way....(more)
Yusuf Pathan hit the ball so hard in his rapid fire hundred it must have seemed like time and space were distorted.
In the end, the laws of reality asserted themselves and his efforts went unrewarded, but for a while the Saffer boys must h...(more)
