This is not the best day for clichés, but I couldn’t resist this one. Australia take on England in the final of the World T20 today and everyone is hyping the much-hyped Ashes rivalry. Cricket’s oldest rivals are taking each other on in the newest format. The men who played in suits are locking horns in PJs. It goes on. The buildup is massive considering the overkill we have had for T20. Kevin Pietersen is [...]

This just in. Shahid Afridi has been named as the Captain of the Pakistan Cricket Team for their title defense of the Twenty20 World Championship to be held in the West Indies later next month. Afridi, one of the most gifted players of the shortest version of the game, is notably one of the most inconsistent players of the other versions, but that does not matter of course.
