Shahid Afridi represents Pakistan
< 1 minute readShahid Afridi embodies the reasons why cricket needs Pakistan. Here’s a man who’s most famous for his ludicrously single-minded determination to hit every balll he faces into the moon, as if it’s somehow wronged him with its offensive nocturnal luminescence. That’s Shahid Afridi’s thing. That’s what he does. Yet he’s

< 1 minute readSometimes it’s okay to make use of the verb ‘to flob’. This usage is entirely justified. While the world trains its gaze on Fake IPL Player or the IPL itself – or Ian Bell or Michael Vaughan or Philip Hughes – while the world trains its gaze on those events,

< 1 minute readThat Ian Bell, eh? Rubbish, isn’t he? First he cashes in on a flat deck at Taunton and expects everybody to be all impressed.
