Tonight Paul Collingwood would probably be recapping what has possibly been the worst 24 hours of his life. First the ODI defeat to New Zealand which see’s them take a 2-1 lead in the series with one to play. Secondly he’s been made a fool out of over his decision not to withdraw the appeal [...]

New boy shines in Australia victory as Ponting closes in on milestone
Ever heard of Shaun Marsh before? To be honest, I hadn’t until the son of former Australian batsmen Geoff Marsh struck a very impressive 81 as Australia beat the West Indies by 84 runs in the first one-day international between the two sides.
Batting first, the Australians posted a more than competitive score of 273 for [...]

Last ball error costs England
What a series! Can it get better than this? Reverse hitting, abandoned games in the dark, dramatic batting collapses. Nobody thought this series could get more cracking cricket. Well it just did.

ICL players banned
As you’ve probably found out English teams who qualify for the Champions League wont be allowed to field ICL players in the tournament. Only Kent, Middlesex and Somerset don’t feature any rebel ICL players.
I don’t see why ICL players can’t play in the tournament. It’s nothing to do with the IPL. If counties still go [...]

Improved New Zealand level series
Vettori will be pleased with the win today.
What we’ve seen from this New Zealand squad over the past few weeks is not cricket being played by the 3rd best ODI side in the world. It’s been fairly lightweight cricket from a side mourning the retirement of Stephen Fleming. Today’s performance was a lot better. The [...]
