Sod Christmas, it’s all about Boxing Day. We’ve taken time out of our hectic schedule of getting drunk and laughing at Australians to take a look at the second part of the Test double-header.
With no room for the likes of Michael Carberry and David Capel, the C team must be busting with talent, right?
There are many plus points to Australia being rubbish nowadays. A slightly unexpected one is how many exciting Tests they manage to produce. In Hobart they did it again, and gave us all some early Christmas cheer in the process.
It’s raining cricket this winter, and New Zealand are the latest team into the fray as they take on their old enemy. An old enemy shorn of almost half their side, no less.
Everyone knows what’s happened off the pitch in Pakistani cricket this year, but what’s happened on it is much more exciting.
In a battle of nerves, Australia held theirs to beat South Africa and level the two game (did you know it was only two games?) series in Johannesburg.
Here at 51allout we love each other unconditionally…Apart from when it comes to the key question of who should be the ODI keeper for England. Once that subject is raised, the gloves are off.
THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Or Englanddddddddd, but that doesn’t really work.
England’s tour went from poor to downright shambolic as they threw away the series amidst a torrent of awful mistakes.
After a cooling-off period in which we put on some absolutely horrific accumulators for the football on Saturday, we’ve now come to accept England’s first defeat to India since the Stone Age enough to write a review.
