Ever had Brett Lee and Wasim Akram?

December 26, 2011

There will be loads of batsmen in the world who would not fancy facing the two pacemen, but I am sure none of them would mind eating them. Think I have lost it? Think again: Source: Shiraz Hassan

Strauss: Pakistan are a conspiracy to defraud the spirit of the game

March 3, 2011

England captain Andrew Strauss launched a scathing attack against Shahid Afridi and the rest of the Pakistan team on Thursday. England were outclassed by ‘minnows’ Ireland just one day ago and Struass said that Pakistan should have lost their game against Canada too, in order to rebel against the International Cricket Council (ICC). The ICC [...]

The PaddleShopper: The Pakistan Three

February 7, 2011

The ICC said it is “satisfied” with the verdict and punishments handed out to three Pakistan players (Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir) on Saturday on charges of spot-fixing during the Lord’s Test last summer.

The Four Horsemen Of The Cricket Apocalypse

November 11, 2010

(credit to @mrsmithmachine) We’re being a bit dramatic here but just imagine it: headlines sweeping across the internet and the newspapers: ALL INTERNATIONAL CRICKET CANCELLED, INDEFINITELY.

Appeals of Aamer and Butt denied

November 1, 2010

Mohammad Asif must be grinning ear to ear right now. About a week ago, he withdrew his appeal against the ICC’s decision to suspend him. Maybe he had a premonition, maybe he was just high (by high I do not directly imply drugs, rather high as in when Saurav Ganguly said “we are so high,” [...]

WTF, it’s Razzaq

November 1, 2010

It’s the very good thing my love of the South African cricket team only goes as far as being forced to support them because, well, I was born here and, erm…well…I don’t have any other passports. Since the first T20 I’ve been saying that the Saffas are looking a little flat, like they still can’t [...]
