Right again...

Seems maybe the Australian cricket team have relearned the value of line and length. Of course they haven´t actually won anything yet, but who knows?





Rebecca Wilson (she who used to be on the Fat) is quite scathing of the team as a whole. Apparently this English team that is giving us so much trouble was bowled out by the West Indies for 55 runs. Personally, I wasn´t even sure the windies still had a team!






It sounds like the Australians have some real issues with team unity at the moment. Who knows what will happen? At least it´s good to see Shane Watson actually play in a cricket match. Statistically speaking he´ll probably be injured tomorrow, but at least he´s there now.

Gone but not forgotten

"I saw that Test match on television and had (Michael) Clarke not scored a century in the second innings the margin of defeat could have been over 250 runs," Qadir said.

Then he says we should bring Warne back if we want to win the Ashes.

Can´t disagree, although from the sounds of it replacing Johnson with Stuart Clarke and bowling line and length to the tail enders might be another sensible option.

I believe this is the first time England have won at Lords since 1934?

Here come the clog wogs...

I think the headline says it all.

Dutch humiliate England in T20 opener.

I think this is absolutely fantastic. Firstly, because nobody really likes the English, so it´s nice to have something to rub their noses in.

But the main reason is because 20-20 is just not cricket. Sure, it has a bat and a ball, but it´s not cricket in any traditional sense of the game. Having a super power such as England lose to a minnow such as Holland illustrates this in a way that nothing else does.

Personally I think it´s great that the Dutch have done so well, but we shouldn´t gloat too much, after all, it´s happened once, the next time Canada will probably beat Australia!
