The devils biggest trick
Suggestions of one or more organised criminal fraternities being responsible for the death of Bob Woolmer are meeting incredulity in a succession of head-on collisions. At the head of the crash are an array of past and present Pakistani cricketing personalities all apparently dumbstruck by the suggestions of a corrupt element within or around […]

Big names struggling to bowl out minnows
One of the trends I have noticed after 11 games of the World Cup is that some of the lesser teams seem to be almost impossible to bowl out, even if they do end up on the losing side by a comfortable margin. I guess they baton the hatches to some extent when chasing a […]

I’m stunned, happy - but stunned
Ireland have beaten Pakistan in the World Cup. I know. It still doesn’t sound right does it. I’m Irish and I’m happy but having spent all day at a birthday party knee deep in quad-bike induced shit, I havent seen the match yet, and I’m an hour away from watching the highlights on Sky. I […]

Mel Gibson would be proud
WC2007 Day 2
OK so Scotland lost. Nobody with more than a couple of brain cells would have predicted anything different, but they certainly avoided humiliation and against the Worlds best team (whatever the rankings say) that’s no mean feat.
The skipper got a fifty and three other players scored in double figures (including Angus McExtras).
Lets all […]

Slow and steady wins the race
Or at least I hope so! I’m the only one in the dream team comp to fail to have notched a single point so far (but then in fairness none of my players were in action today). I’m hoping for a big day tomorrow from Australia so Hussey and Punter can score me a […]
