Ah, match-fixing. Or match-fixing allegations, anyway. There’s a lot of noise being made about that at the moment. Big noise, too. And all us cricket tragics have dived head first into tragedy. We just love a little bit of drama, don’t we? All this white clothes stuff, how boring, give us action, give us satisfaction! [...]

Bangladesh beat England for the first time ever. England in cricket are a lot like England in football. The differences being, there was not much ODI Cricket back in 1966, and that there is no slam bang shorter format which the three lions can win in football now. The point being that the English Cricket [...]
This is a post by Paddle, and not Mspr1nt. I wish I could write as well as she does! Cheers… I haven’t been blogging for about a month now, because nothing interesting seemed to be happening. India was busy playing Sri Lanka again, and the rest was pretty much the usual boring stuff. Nothing to [...]

They always have the time to re-prove themselves lest they fail. If they fail. Most of them grab the opportunity with both hands gleefully. I sincerely [...]
It’s not often that I compliment Australian cricketers, unless they are good looking of course. And it’s definitely not often that I compliment arrogant little pricks but Shane Watson has made it hard to help myself. If there were cricket fairytales scripted, Watson would play the hero, the villain and the ugly step mother. Originally [...]
With Michael Clarke being stripped of the captaincy gig and the Cute XI left in disarray, the latest Hottie Elect – Daniel Vettori was more than welcome to step up to the plate. Paddlesweep came under fire recently for selecting Daniel Luca Vettori as its new captain but there are more than enough reasons why [...]
Yesterday I spoke about the dreaded DH. Today I shake my head in dismay. If Jacques Kallis can’t even score 200 on a flat pitch in India he really should just give it up. I think administrators should just introduce a rule that he has to get out on 150 so that he can save [...]
