< 1 minute readThere’s a good chance this doesn’t bother anyone else but us, but when has that ever stopped us? “Surrey – so what?” is the theme of this post. Surrey get a lot of media coverage. We don’t really know why, because they don’t deserve it. Their matches get first division

Lancashire Legends destroy Yorkshire
< 1 minute readBeing as you were all unmoved by yesterday’s references to ludicrous Eighties fantasy film, Legend, we’ve decided to put three more references into today’s post as punishment. The title is one reference. See if you can spot the other two. They are both subtle and clever. In yesterday’s Roses match,

< 1 minute readThe Unicorns lost to Nottinghamshire yesterday. This reminded us that a friend was asking about them the other day. We suppose we’d better clear up a few questions. Who are the Unicorns? The Unicorns are the ECB Recreational XI. Where are they from? They are from “long ago.” Why should

< 1 minute readThat’s a serious question. We’ve genuinely forgotten where we’re up to. He was banned for life, but then unbanned, but he’s still not playing for Pakistan. He’s playing for Warwickshire at the moment, we believe he’s got a spell booked in the Birmingham leagues after that and then at some

< 1 minute readWe thought this when we saw him bowl during the World Cup. Devendra Bishoo is one of a fair few promising West Indies bowlers knocking about at the minute. The problem is, it’s a challenge for these bowlers to retain enthusiasm when the batsmen only ever give them 200 to

Team England really needs a corporate motto. That was a link to our latest

< 1 minute readPosh bloke. Played cricket. Retired in favour of a career in ‘business’. Well, apparently he’s even posher than we had suspected. Poshness is largely beyond our comprehension. If you turn your nose up at food that’s been on the floor, you fall into our ‘posh’ category and we struggle to

< 1 minute readYou have to understand that we’re not criticising Craig Kieswetter. Our issues are with how easily people are impressed and with county cricket in general. Craig Kieswetter scored a hundred again yesterday. Well played Craig. That’s two in a week so SURELY he’s ready to play for England now. Well,

< 1 minute readBecause that’s how you fold. It’s not so much the being bowled out for 97 on a pitch of kofte bhuna spiciness, it’s the Lancashire bowling figures their middle and lower order so generously created: Simon Kerrigan – five wickets for seven runs Gary Keedy – three wickets for two

< 1 minute readSo Alastair Cook’s an England captain (one-day internationals) and Stuart Broad’s an England captain (Twenty20). But which one will go on to become the REAL England captain – the one who’s in charge of the Test team? Is this really the way to do it. Is this really the plan
