Will Ryan Sidebottom take wickets in Sri Lanka?
< 1 minute readWe’ve written a proper article. Being as that’s totally inappropriate for this site, we’ve hidden it away off the main page. So if you’d like to read a totally illogical article about Ryan Sidebottom worrying that he won’t take wickets in Sri Lanka on the rather spurious grounds that Chaminda

< 1 minute readHow bloody good are we at saying other people are ace at cricket? We’re really bloody good at it – that’s how bloody good at it we are. Perhaps it’s because we’ve spent our entire life honing our sense of how much everyone else is better than us. Show us

< 1 minute readHow refreshing that an England campaign in an international tournament hasn’t ended in meek capitulation for once. A quick note of commiseration for The Colossus who didn’t deserve to be on the losing side after ballsily whopping three sixes off three balls when New Zealand were about 40-4. Craig McMillan

< 1 minute readTo continue our superlative Twenty20 World Cup coverage in the manner that’s increasingly fitting… England thrashed South Africa, easily chasing down an eminently reachable target and they certainly don’t need to win the next two games in order to stay in the competition. Kevin Pietersen’s run out didn’t look this

< 1 minute readWe heard that England were playing Australia yesterday, but we didn’t pay any attention. We’re not going to bother checking, but it’s pretty safe to assume that England won handsomely. Comments to the contrary will be vigorously deleted. Yes, you can delete something ‘vigorously’ – but only when that something

< 1 minute read‘It’ being ‘scoring runs against Zimbabwe’. Despite forgetting that he was right-handed for much of his innings, everyone’s most/least favourite bludgeoner hit 79 off 37 balls after England had lost a few early wickets. England also won by quite a margin, opening up the possibility that they could knock Australia

< 1 minute readHo ho ho. It’s an actual bird. We weren’t really referring to a woman as a bird because that would be demeaning. We were just alluding to that usage – which is of course perfectly acceptable. Worst post ever. Good job there’s absolutely no chance of our ever making this

< 1 minute readEngland and India drew their seven match one-day series after the final match at Lord’s ended in a tie. India batted first, Sachin Tendulkar scoring every single one of their 92 runs. In reply, England fell to 0-9 until Jimmy Anderson spirited up an unbelievable rearguard action scoring 92 by

< 1 minute readWhat is it with ridiculously young Indian batsmen? They just think they can come over here and chase down 300 plus one-day scores without so much as a hint of knock-kneed panic or paralysing defeatism. Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif are prime examples and yesterday Robin Uthappa, 21, shrugged his
