Why cricket~s better than the Olympics written by (Why cricket~s better than the Olympics)

Aug 13, 2012

Like a holiday romance" or a summer job with the mafia" the Olympics has led some of us to do things we would not normally do and of which" with the benefit of hindsight" we might not be particularly proud ^for example" those unofficial Team GB lederhosen I bought from a man in the pub were definitely a mistake&' Multi)coloured five)ring fever has taken over the internet" the brains of newspaper editors" the schedules of minor members of the royal family" and I’m afraid it’s even taken over this cricket blog' ....More

Aug 06, 2012

There seem to be certain truisms that are always in articles about New Zealand cricket∙ the consistent inconsistency" the overachieving in World Cups ^four semi)finals reached in the last six one)day World Cups" a record matched by only Australia and Sri Lanka&' And then" there seems to be the clichés∙ the Black Caps a team of battlers" a team of overachievers ^given the talent and potential of some New Zealand players" I would say that many of them underachieve& and that Daniel Vettori is the best bowler in the team' ....More

Giving up cricket for Him written by (Giving up cricket for Him)

Jul 16, 2012
