The news is old now and everybody knows but, in case you missed it, here is again, with a picture and everything. That’s what happens when you block people on Twitter for no good reason, KP. The good news out of all of this is that he has gone to Surrey which means I can [...]

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! [...]
Since the days of G.E. Palmer, E. Peate and G. Ulyett in 1884, any bowler who took a five wicket haul on the hallowed turf at the Lords Cricket Ground in London got himself a mention on the Honours Board. The practice has been continued even to this day and being on the honours board [...]
News of the World are reporting that Pakistan have been involved in match-fixing. Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif delivered three blatant no-balls to order, apparently and this just the tip of the iceberg, apparently. The story is breaking all over the news, this right after I complimented Test cricket so much. Hell, I even complimented [...]
People like so nasty things about other people and other things. Things like, you can’t wear green and red together and if you are short, you are a midget and you will never be a fast bowler. People also say South Africa are chokers and tall people can’t bowl spin. Only 10% of these statements [...]

Anybody who is part of the Twitterati knows that I’ve been giving poor little Kevin Pietersen a very hard time on Twitter. I really don’t dislike him at all, I’m just irked by him and I know that he gets wound up pretty easily so I’ll give him a hard time. It’s nothing more than [...]
Everybody who knows me even vaguely knows that human beings are not my favourite thing. Human beings in the forms of cricketers, even less so. Unless they are hot. Or Sulieman Benn. One of my least favourite human beings in the world is Kevin Pietersen. My dislike for him grows and swells like an angry [...]
….the Cute XI Test squad. It’s been so long since I worked on my Cute XI – the last time I worked on this I still thought Graeme Swann was a sexy cricketer. Not that he isn’t – there are just better options. Anyway. Luke Wright features possibly for no other reason than me having [...]
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 [...]
