North Gear Premier League Twenty20 Grand Final match report

< 1 minute readRoyal Cricket (no relation) visited Canterbury to ignore the North Gear Premier League Twenty20 Grand Final. They say this: Our mate Paul Hibberd’s younger brother, James, was playing, so we didn’t ignore him but we did spend lots of time ignoring the cricket and looking at the cameras to make

Brad Haddin shows it won’t be that big a deal when Adam Gilchrist retires, when it really should be

2 minute readOn Saturday, Brad Haddin played his first international match since February after Australia’s batsmen suddenly decided they didn’t want to bat in India and feigned any number of injuries. Haddin hit 69 then, although India’s innings was washed-out. Today, Haddin hit 87 not out off 69 balls and Australia won

We’re a young side and we’ll learn from this

< 1 minute readThere’s not a great deal to write about England’s loss in the first one-day international against Sri Lanka yesterday. This is partly because it’s a very ho-hum one-day series, coming about 20 minutes after the Twenty20 World Cup, which itself was hot on the heels of a seven match one-day

Jacques Kallis fills the void

< 1 minute readShaun Pollock may have been dropped, but South Africa have got more than one crushingly dispiriting all-rounder at their disposal. In fact, South African cricket can boast a whole battalion of line-and-length-bowling competent-batting dullards. Jacques Kallis is a little better than competent, of course, although he’s a dullard in more

Will Ryan Sidebottom take wickets in Sri Lanka?

< 1 minute readWe’ve written a proper article. Being as that’s totally inappropriate for this site, we’ve hidden it away off the main page. So if you’d like to read a totally illogical article about Ryan Sidebottom worrying that he won’t take wickets in Sri Lanka on the rather spurious grounds that Chaminda

Shaun Pollock dropped for some reason

< 1 minute read42 year-old ginger snoreathon, Shaun Pollock, has been dropped from the South African Test team for the first time. Rumours that South African coach, Mickey Arthur, said, ‘I can’t watch one more delivery from that freckled automaton,’ are probably true, although we haven’t heard it anywhere. Pollock’s place is supposed

A match report from Greece

3 minute readMiriam et al. report from Greece where they witnessed the television coverage of England’s not-at-all fictional win over New Zealand first-hand. If you are thinking of sending a match report, consider this confirmation that not only does the report not have to be timely, it also doesn’t particularly matter if

International Cricket Captain 3 review

2 minute readRubbish. Okay, that’s a bit extreme. How about ‘worse than its predecessor’? The graphics are better, but still bad. The whole point of this update is the presentation (nothing else has changed) so it’s hard to ignore. Before, they hadn’t made any effort, so you overlooked the rough appearance. It’s

Kent v Durham in the County Championship – the last three days IN FULL

< 1 minute readLemon Bella reports: I went to watch the last three days of the Kent v Durham County Championship match. However, because Kent appeared to have somewhere more important to be, I only ended up seeing seven hours of play. I put my spare time to good use by purchasing a
