Slow death

I came across this book earlier today and I thought it would make a fantastic gift for any cricket fan. The fact that it is a South African author, publisher and features a South African cricket icon makes it even better!
Rudi Koertzen is one of world cricket’s most experienced and respected umpires. In a career [...]

Zimbabwe Cricket coming good again?

Irrespective of whether it is a case that India has simply played poorly, Zimbabwean cricket seems to be bouncing back in some small way and that’s fantastic for the game as a whole.
Some of their recent results:
Zimbabwe v India at Bulawayo – May 28, 2010 – Zimbabwe won by 6 wickets (with 10 balls remaining)
Zimbabwe [...]

Pakistan worth a punt in T20 World Cup?

Admit it, if you were a cricket fan you were intrigued to see how Afghanistan played today in their first outing in the T20 World Cup…

I have to ask half seriously whether the Kings Punjab team had a couple of phone calls from the bookies considering how they tossed away the game?
I think they dropped four catches, misfielded badly in close and let a [...]

Kallis just can’t get a double!

Jacques Kallis must be going steadily mad… he just can’t get a double hundred despite being one of the worlds highest scoring batsmen of all time.
Today he got rolled for 173 against India depsite looking like he was well set. Against England a few months back he was on 120 and looking super comfortable only [...]

Cheeky shot – Cricket

Maybe Hashim Amla should try his luck in the $180m Euro lottery… At least if he wins something he will be able to bribe the Indians to give him a chance to get the ball off the square.
Ok maybe that’s a bit harsh but Jacques Kallis seems to be chugging along notching up another 100 [...]
