Few people talk about Murali’s all round capability. Some would argue that is because he has no such ability. Todays performance heaped bucket loads of egg on those peoples faces.
Murali, as we all know now, is a bit of an unorthodox player. He is a non conformist in every sense of the word. This lends [...]

We have been away. Again. This has become a annoying habit we are trying hard to shake. We have now made more comebacks than Ricky Pontings hair.
In the meanwhile though, SL secured their test win and managed to mosey through the last test without giving Pakistan the ‘momentum’ they would need for the ODI series.
England [...]

Two wins with the bowlers dominating. For those watching the Ashes you are excused for thinking it’s old goggle eyes up to his tricks again.
There was no Murali. No sir. I didn’t even see him in the dressing rooms. No Murali in sight and still Pakistan collapsed for
9-78
10-90
9-35
in 3 consecutive innings.
Quite amazing really. So the [...]

Pakistan
Wow. There aren’t really any words to describe their cricket at the moment. Saying Pakistan is unpredictable has become predictable. A batting collapse will now be renamed to ‘doing a Pakistan’. This phrase has also been known as ‘doing an England’ in test cricket history.
For centuries England and Pakistan have battled ownership for that term.
Pakistan [...]

Ponting
“I don’t think it was required, he changed [the gloves] the over before and I don’t think they’d be too sweaty in one over,”I’m not sure what the physio was doing out there. I didn’t see anyone call for the physio to come out.
Nice one Ricky. Of course it wasn’t required. No one wants to [...]

Sri Lanka
Oh-oh. You always wondered how SL would handle the game when Pakistan finally remembered how to play cricket. Needless to say they did not handle it too well.
When you bowl out a team for 90 on day 1, you shouldn’t really be 27 behind when day 2 ends. And that is exactly where SL [...]

-Don’t worry too much about the Sri Lankan record at the PSS. It is a very formidable one, mind. 5 wins in 7 matches. Including 4 on the trot, SA and India included. Ok so maybe you should worry.
- It must be tempting to try Rauf as an opener but it would serve Pakistan unendingly [...]

-Don’t leave out Prasanna Jayawardene. Dilshan did an OK job, but at the PSS the ball will spin and I wouldn’t want Dilshan making an error at a crucial time. Plus his batting is more important to the team than anything else.
Who should they leave out? It’s a tough call. And that’s why you have [...]

The some random team are also known as the West Indies. Formerly Kings of Cricket and invincibles, this is what the WI have been reduced to. Of the 11 who walked out yesterday 7 were uncapped players.
I don’t know if that is a record, but it ought to be.
This would mean that Bangladesh are going [...]

We last asked you if The MV was in form. You lot said you don’t care. Which may or may not have resulted in him retiring.
’tis a shame. And it brings to an end our romance with the former English captain.
Is Micheal Vaughan in form?
