Top 10 Ashes Batsman
Dipz Cricket World (Free subscription) | 09/02/2009
These are the top 10 Ashes batsman I have enjoyed watching since 1990 onwards 1) Steve Waugh – To have an average of 58 in Ashes test shows the true class and guts of the players and that was what Steve Waugh was all about. His best innings have to be the 157 not out at The Oval on one leg in 2001 then in his last Ashes innings scored 102 at Sydney 2) Allan Border – The one batsman you...

Martin Kelner: Big Sam, king of grumpy old men
The Guardian (Free subscription) | 08/24/2009
The Blackburn Rovers manager is not a man who invites sympathy. In fact, seeing him hard done by is one of the great sights on Match of the Day Has anyone else noticed how, with every football season that passes, Sam Allardyce looks a little more like the late Les Dawson? Big Sam appears to have got just a little bigger during the close season, and when he is piqued about something – which is...

Ashes Superteams!
Dipz Cricket World (Free subscription) | 08/19/2009
While we all speculate about who will be picked for the forthcoming Ashes teams, I wonder how many, if any, would hold their own against the best players of the past generation. It set me thinking who would make the XI for each country based on Test cricket in the last 30 years, so naturally I had to share my thoughts here.... It's particularly hard to select an Australian team. So many great players,...

War between Equals - Ashes 2009
Granger Gab (Free subscription) | 07/20/2009
As the Ashes commenced this year, I was having a discussion with my Cricket buddies Tugga and PK (who by the way are an absolute authority over this game) as to who stood a chance this year to win the Ashes. A common conclusion was that this was a war between equals – not in terms of strengths but weaknesses. In my 15 years of watching this game I haven’t seen an Aussie team this weak...

Tuffers sings, cricket (and music) fans cringe
Cricket-Blog.com (Free subscription) | 06/22/2009
He was crap at cricket. Turns out he's even more crap at singing. Here's Phil Tufnell's attempt to rile Australia in musical form: Now I love a good ribbing as much as the next guy. I enjoyed Tufnell's sledging the Aussies at the Allan Border Medal night . But this is just wrong. So wrong. If an Australian produced something this awful, I'd be ashamed. Still, gotta laugh when their most optimistic...
