"Fitness is a relative term. I mean to say that it does not necessarily mean that one who runs hard and lifts weights is fit. Cricketing fitness is different. So if you can perform, it means you are fit."
Sourav Ganguly provides his unique take on what constitutes fitness

• England limp after de Villiers' epic
  South Africa continued their domination of the second Test at Headingley, leaving England in the forlorn position of 50 for 2 at stumps on the third day, still trailing by 269. AB de Villiers' magnificent 174 lofted South Africa's first innings to 522, gr
• Prince and de Villiers dominate England
  After scraping just three wickets in two days at Lord's, there was always a concern England's bowlers would be a little jaded. And so they were on the second day at Headingley, one that yielded 221 runs for South Africa and one measly wicket for England,
• England hit back after lowly batting display
  South Africa dismissed England for a disappointingly meagre 203 before they themselves lost three quick wickets, while Hashim Amla was a hair's breadth away from joining those dismissed in the pavilion. After last week's dull draw in London, this was Test
• Amla ton guides South Africa to safety
  Hashim Amla's fifth Test hundred guided South Africa safely to a draw on the fifth and final day at Lord's. Two days ago, it seemed unlikely the visitors would survive into the fourth day, let alone scrap it out into the fifth, yet it was England - the te

New Zealand v England, 1st ODI, Wellington

By Will 5 months ago Leave a comment on this post

England enter the one-day series against New Zealand not only in winning form, but as favourites. What on earth is going on? Me and my boss, Martin Williamson, will be covering the game on ball-by-ball and bulletin throughout the night at Cricinfo. Read Peter Burdon’s preview and join us over there for analysis and humour.

Well, I was there, with my kids! Great turnaround by the Black Caps. Thank God. Couldn’t believe this was the same England side who’d thrashed us twice in the 20/20s.
