“Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man.” And with those words in mind, here’s our second look at the world of the IPL.
The third in our series of end of season review looks at New Zealand. Was it truly a winter of discontent? Or was that just because it wouldn’t stop raining?
Australia’s victory over the West Indies in the first Test was so unlikely that it’s been compared to the mythical ‘Adelaide 06’ game that definitely didn’t happen. But can they win the second Test? And if so, will they compare it to other made up things, such as Steve Smith’s textbook forward defensive, the whole cat/screwdriver thing and the 51allout readership?
The first week of the 2012 County Championship season saw Amjad Khan amongst the wickets and Leicestershire winning a game. So basically the exact opposite of everything we predicted.
51allout: watching the IPL so that you don’t have to. Also talking about it so that you don’t have to. We are seriously good to you lot. Here we’ll be talking about Pune’s second game live.
A day of genuine old-fashioned attritional Test cricket in which almost nothing happened, gripping us for the full 90 overs. Graeme Swann’s double strike in the penultimate over was just reward for not quite getting around to the washing up for eight hours.
Four Tests down and four losses in the bank. Can England complete one of the great winters or will they mess that up as well?
The West Indies vs. Australia conjures up images of the greats battling it out. So how did Johnson Charles and Xavier Doherty get on?
Slow bowlers are used. England collapse. Stuart Broad looks really, really annoyed.
We haven’t done a Scorers’ Notes piece in a while but with a Test series against Sri Lanka coming up we felt we needed a new way to criticise Ravi Bopara.
