The final few overs of last yesterday's cricket was some pretty exciting nail biting stuff. Some how, South Africa went from steaming to victory against Sri Lanka to scraping through by the skin of their teeth. I think those 4 batsmen (you know who you are) should spend more time worrying about their batting and less time worrying about Malinga's …
You don't have to be a cricket fan to know what's happening in the Caribbean at the moment. I'm not talking about the World Cup Cricket, but rather the news of the murder of Bob Woolmer - the ex-English batsman, ex-South African coach, most the recent Pakistani coach and probably one of the most passionate men in the cricket world.
Yesterday was a great day for two of the minnows in the World Cup. Ireland have sent Pakistan home by beating them in Ireland's first world cup victory, and once again Bangladesh have proven they shouldn't be forgotten by beating India.
19:00 GMT marks the start of the ICC World Cup Cricket 2007. Woohooo!!! Come on South Africa, oh and England (my second team - they have to be really, as I do use this country for my own benefit). How do you think your team will do? If you're not sure, or don't know who to support, I recommend South …
What more of a confidence booster does South Africa need going into the World Cup in just under 20 days time? Hopefully this time SA won't be caught short by the Duckworth/Lewis method (1992) or a miscalculation (2003) and actually win the World Cup.
Well done England. Finally a win on your winter cricket jolly tour down under.
However the damage has already been done...
Little Archie Vaughan (son of the England Captain) was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living.
All the typical answers came out, fireman, policeman, salesman, chippy, captain of industry etc,…
It's such a pity it wasn't much of a contest this year either. I was really hoping it would be a great battle between two sides that would see the final test deciding who got to "keep" The Ashes for the year. But it wasn't to be. England haven't really challenged Australia in this year's…
England crumbled in the 2nd Ashes Test and managed to lose. How on earth did that happen? Well, England can add another record to the books: No team in history has EVER lost after declaring on a higher total than England's 551-6 batting first in a Test.
Well done chaps. Better luck next time. Remember, it's the taking part that counts…
I've just been checking the cricket scores and noticed Ireland are playing England in a one day international. I didn't even know Ireland had an international team, let alone were playing England today.
