Cricket Revolution screenshots
< 1 minute readNew cricket game! It’s not out yet though, so we’ve no idea how good it is. It doesn’t matter really. If our short-lived, poorly-paid career as a videogame ‘journalist’ taught us anything, it’s that previews of games only need pictures. Mervyn Athrapatta’s going along nicely. We’ve rather unhelpfully shrunk this

< 1 minute readGo on, do it… No, you ask… We don’t think he’s going to let us have it back.

< 1 minute readIan! Look down! It’s right there in front of you! Here we see Paul Collingwood, Ian Bell and Matt Prior desperately searching for the ball while Mahela Jayawardene and Tillekeratne Dilshan complete an all-run hundred for Jayawardene. England weren’t to find the ball again for three straight days and all

< 1 minute readPictures like this DESERVE captions: This is what we’ve come up with: (1) Ricky Ponting with a bat in his mouth. (2) Ricky Ponting eats a cricket bat. (3) Ricky Ponting and a cricket bat and the bat’s sort of in his mouth so it sort of looks like he

< 1 minute readWe’ve been putting altogether too many words on this site of late, so for no real reason, here’s a picture of Shaun Tait astride a big cannon. It’s not THAT big a cannon though. Ho, no, no – not as big as this cannon. We like big cannons. We don’t

2 minute readYes, it’s good. There’s a review for you. Okay, let’s do a little bit more. First of all, the title. If It Was Raining Palaces I’d Get Hit By The Dunny Door is quite transparently a bit of Australian slang. It’s a way of saying you’re unlucky even when it’s

< 1 minute readTextbook. Keep your eyes off the ball to minimise any chance of edging it. This batsman is looking the opposite way to eliminate even the slightest possibility that he might catch sight of the ball. The merest glimpse could potentially cause him to play for it. Better still he has

< 1 minute readWhile wearing a stupid hat. [This post used to contain a picture of Sourav wearing an East 17 hat while signing autographs at this point. Annoyingly, we can’t find it now.] No joke. We just really like this picture. Don’t make eye contact, Sourav. Write something dismissive as well. That’ll
