< 1 minute read For those who missed it, this is our latest Stu and Ash piece for Cricinfo. It’s about Wasim Akram against England in the 1992 World Cup, which is well worth seeking out on YouTube by the way. We’d link to a video, but, you know, we’d have to open another

Ball of the century and Lara’s 400
< 1 minute read How many times does something have to appear to qualify as a regular feature? If it’s twice, we have a regular feature at Cricinfo. It is about two idiot commentators commentating like idiots. It is called Stu and Ash. The first instalment was about Shane Warne’s ball of the century.
Continue readingRunners-up in the Champions League T20
< 1 minute read Is there ambiguity or a double meaning in that title? Certainly the former, possibly the latter, depending how things go for Somerset tomorrow. We did a piece for Cricinfo, which, on the face of it, is about Somerset being in the Champions League despite being perennial runners-up. That sentence makes

< 1 minute read We’re hoping to attract some decent ill-feeling in the comments section, but there’s little so far. Maybe there’s a great pile of vitriol just waiting to be approved by a moderator. We did have a bit about Sachin Tendulkar failing to score his hundredth international hundred, but something similar had

< 1 minute read In 2006, we started writing about how Matthew Hayden spoke bollocks. At that point, his batting drew most people’s attention and it hadn’t been widely acknowledged that the man was sucking all meaning out of words and then piling them together arbitrarily. Now everyone has noticed. Even Michael Atherton’s slagging

< 1 minute read We did two things wrong in this piece for Cricinfo. We depicted Andrew Strauss as a socially disconnected toff, which is unfair and also something of a cliché. There are two dissatisfied Yorkshiremen in it and having once lived in God’s own county, we hate cricket’s Yorkshire stereotype and fear
Continue readingEngland should copy Australia
< 1 minute read That’s the premise of this piece that we wrote for Cricinfo. It’s funny because Australia are really, really bad at cricket while England are amazing, so it’s ridiculous that the latter would ape the former. We thought we’d state that explicitly in case you weren’t aware of those facts and

< 1 minute read No comments as yet on our latest Cricinfo article. We predict that at least one of the first ten will be about how Alastair Cook isn’t actually all that good and how Virender Sehwag’s better. The other nine will be asking whether the article is supposed to be funny or

< 1 minute read It can if you install a lightning conductor to attract it. That’s preparation, that is. It’s no surprise that England mugged Sri Lanka in the first Test when there had appeared no danger, because they had been preparing to do precisely that all season, as detailed in our latest Cricinfo
