Hello dear, See, I told you it was a good idea to throw that third game. We have caused so much controversy in the past two months, [...]

Fixing allegations at The Oval? Who’s surprised?

September 18, 2010

It’s a good thing I kept my piece of praise as a draft this time. The last time allegations rocked Pakistan I’d just finished a post of praise for Test cricket. I had this all lined up and ready to go: “As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a bowler’s girl. A swinging delivery that sends wickets [...]

Top Honours for Fred: Knob of the Week

September 16, 2010

There is just something about his bad boy demeanour, his gingerness and his complete chav-likeness that made him stand out.

It’s official, nobody likes Stuard Broad

September 15, 2010

It’s official. Stuart Broad is the most hated cricketer, as judged by Paddlesweep readers, bots and compulsive voters. After the big hoo-haa about my dislike for Kevin Pietersen, we decided to run a poll. At first it was Shane Watson who sprung into the lead like the Mumbai Indians in their second clt20 but then, [...]

Rahul Dravid is an honorable man

September 13, 2010

Another mini contest. A couple of days ago, it happened. Rahul Dravid was chatting with a few people on the phone, and this was what he was chatting about: He also discussed the pitch and weather conditions, telling them what they can expect in the match against Guyana Pity the News of the World did [...]
