Return of the Sami

He’s back. From the depths. He’s somehow seized his chance and promptly obliterated Australia’s top order on the morning of the Second Test at Sydney. Okay he only got a three-for but his devastating spell led to Austrlia collapsing for a paltry 127. A bowler, whose promise and potential was for ever going to remain [...]

Champions of the World!!!

Pakistan have confounded the critics, their own fans and even themselves in going from a team that looked anything but world beaters, to well, world beaters. Becoming the T20 World Champions is nothing short of stupendous given they couldn’t bat, bowl or field against England, key components you’d have to say in any World Cup [...]

How To Field In The Modern Game

Fielding was once upon a time an oft ignored part of the game. However, nowadays teams are just as focussed on getting their fielding up to scratch as they are with their batting and bowling prowess. Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews acrobatic and scintillating piece of fielding in the recent Twenty 20 World Cup against West  [...]

They were going to play on this …!?!?!

It amazing but true, the Second Test between England and the West Indies ended in complete and utter farce lasting an incredible 10 balls. That’s right an incredible 10 balls – the shortest test match in history! Looking at the state of the pitch I’m amazed it lasted 10 balls!

They were going to [...]

The Good Ol’ Bad Ol’ Days

There’s nothing like an English batting collapse; it is a thing of beauty; it is something to behold – unless that is you’re an fan of England. Even by their own standards the ineptitude they plummeted on Saturday evening was surpassing new depths. At one point they were 23-7!

It brought back [...]

Are Aussies Losing The Plot?

What’s this? The once mighty Aussies, who are basically the World Champions at everything when it comes to cricket seem to be falling apart.

Firstly, the seem to have acquired the happy knack of losing. Good on yer sports! Losing to India was probably not unexpected, then losing the mental edge against of all teams the [...]

Greatest Catch Ever?

Pakistan AllStars, sorry, I mean, Lahore Badshah’s finally overcame Hyderabad Heroes in the 2008 ICL Final to gain revenge, but not without Justin Kemp holding a fantastic catch in the second final, which you can see below:

But is it better than this?

Where did it all go wrong for England?

Words cannot describe adequately enough what a complete and utter fiasco England made of their short venture to the Caribbean, where if they had won their match each of their players would have walked away with a cool $1m!

Not only did they fail to live up to the hype of them being there in the [...]

10,20,23,10,4,9,0,7,1,5

Those my dear friends are the last ten innings that Shahid Afridi has managed and he averages 21.50 in the last 12 months. It seems that Pakistan will continue taking a punt on Afridi coming good, although had this form been replicated for the likes of Australia or England, I do not think he’d have [...]

I Wonder Who Can He Mean?

Ganguly has come out and explained his decision to retire, talking of humiliation, guns being held against his head, metaphorically speaking, and this following insight:

There are players who haven’t scored in the last three series for India, even for the last one year. There are some who have changed their hairstyle more than they have [...]
