True to form, England began their World Cup campaign by doing what they do best. Whining! Two "slams" to the schedule by the English cricketing nobility - Pietersen and Maclaurin. This time strangely the schedule is being criticized for too much rest between games by Pietersen. The other guy is slamming the combined Ashes and WC schedule for being too busy.Apparently, England don’t play their best cricket when they are awfully busy or fully rested. It appears that the reason they have lost against Australia in the ODIs is because that schedule does not reflect true World Cup ’practice’. So they simply didn’t put their h...   See the complete post here

I see the IPL as the appetizer, rather than the World T20 as dessert.Mmmm... dessert...The IC...

The big daddy of tournaments is not far away, and there are a lot of teams to cover, so I thought I’d get a head start with the previews. First up, obviously, is India. The squad was mostly what it was expected to be - I know there was some surprise about Ojha and Rohit Sharma initially, but Ojha had been out of the frame in limited-overs games for a while, and Rohit... well, never mind. Ch...
