< 1 minute read A bit of housekeeping. We’ve had some of our articles published on other websites. First up, The Shire Horse, our fortnightly thing for All Out Cricket. This week’s edition makes fun of some things that England players have said, has a bit about Lancashire’s batting and then there are the

At least two theories and several collapses
< 1 minute read That’s what you can expect from our latest knock for All Out Cricket. In the preamble, All Out Cricket have accused us of having a ‘beady eye’ which is pretty much libel – we have two beady eyes and we make use of both of them. We’ve decided not to
Continue readingWe’re a bit disappointed if we’re honest
< 1 minute read We honestly thought that someone would have left some sort of tirade in the comments section of our latest article for Cricinfo, but alas, it’s mostly just confusion. We demand a tirade! Fortunately, on Twitter someone said: “hey u never always boss nd god sachin” which might be a tirade.

< 1 minute read We’ve another thing. It’s a fortnightly column for All Out Cricket called The Shire Horse. It’s non-serious, so you don’t have to sigh and roll your eyes at our making an attempt to ‘say something’. We hope you’re okay with the fact that we’re increasingly linking to stuff we’ve written

< 1 minute read “I believe it’s jogging – or yogging. It might be a soft J, I’m not sure. But apparently you just run for an extended period of time.” Cricinfo today. We’ve written about anti-gravity for them. They seemed okay with that. Needless to say, Graham Gooch’s moustache gets a mention as

< 1 minute read We’ve done a non-satirical piece for Cricinfo. It’s about branding. Or is it? Perhaps it would be more accurate to say it’s about propaganda. A lot of the focus is on how the Australian cricket team cherry picks facets of its game to talk up while saying very little about

3 minute read Buy Don Bradman Cricket 14 from Amazon No, you haven’t missed 13 iterations of this game. That 14’s the year. Quite why the year’s relevant when the game’s named after a guy who died 13 years ago is beyond us, but there you go. Why Don Bradman? It’s unusual to

< 1 minute read Nobody ever thinks of the hot beverages when there’s a natural disaster. But they can be casualties too – as you’ll discover if you read our Twitter round-up for Cricinfo. Our favourite bit’s Lonwabo Tsotsobe’s blunt realism though, which basically boils down to: ‘Don’t imagine anything good will ever happen
Continue readingGucci the Duck
< 1 minute read We wrote about Graham Gooch’s exit as batting coach for Cricket365. Having referred to him as being a dead duck in that article, we have since found ourself absent-mindedly imagining a short story in which everyone’s favourite once-moustachioed, daddy-hundred-loving, former England opening batsman actually is a duck. In the story,

< 1 minute read We wrote about how to set about the task of picking an England team for Cricinfo. We were meant to do the Twitter thing, but thanks to our unrivalled ability to not really know what’s happening from one week to the next, we got it wrong. Cricinfo were very nice
