Ponting’s bat illegal
Ricky Ponting’s graphite covered Kookaburra bat (and scores like it) have been deemed illegal by the stuffy blowhards of the MCC.
So, Ponting’s Alan Border medal, and all of his 2005 runs are to be rescinded and wiped from the record books then????

Photos from Eden Park Nz vs West Indies Twenty20
There’s only one way to watch cricket and that’s from the edge of the boundary courtesy of some top notch corporate entertainment. We even had a barbeque going.
The night was really about one thing. Kiwi’s having a chance to say goodbye to their hero.

I’m off to the Twenty20
I’m heading off shortly to the Twenty20 at Eden Park. New Zealand vs West Indies and I’m as excited as a housewife on a washing machine.
I’ll take photo’s and post them here late tonight/tomorrow morning, depending on what time I get back from the ground.

Talent on tap when needed

The Australian performances, even [...]

England camp bullish on Indian prospects
There are waves of positive energy flowing through the media from the English camp in advance of the Indian series.

Clash of the midgets
Muralitharan spanked Brad Hogg for successive sixes in one over of the 2nd VB final, both of them reasonable cricket shots, albeit straight down Daisy’s arse at Cow Corner.
