Video highlights of VVS Laxman’s hundred against Australia
By Will 2 years ago, at the start of January, 3 Comments »
This is only a short glimpse – one over, in fact – but he takes 18 off Mitchell Johnson and it’s well worth watching. Do post a link to the full highlights if you see them lurking on tinterweb.
Match scorecard here.
3 Comments »Your highlights of the summer
By Will 4 years ago, at the end of September, 3 Comments »
See that? That fleeting flash was our summer – and it’s gone. It’s the end of the season chaps, so what has your highlight been?
-
Sussex’s double.
-
Monty’s dismissal of, well, anyone you choose.
-
England’s hilarious one-day performance against Sri Lanka.
-
England’s less hilarious one-day performance against Pakistan.
So, throwing it open to the dangerous stump-wielding mob, what moment or event has been your pick of the summer? Need not be from the list above…those are just suggestions.

India are playing Pakistan, as I noted.. and I can’t access cricinfo at all just now. I saw that they were selling radio streaming, so I guess that must have been more successful then they thought.
Buy more servers, you guys!
India made 328, with Sachin Tendulkar making 100.
This is very annoying for me as I was about to write a post about South Africa’s match against Sri Lanka tomorrow with some interesting facts that I found on Statsguru!
Update- Wow, Pakistan won!
Must have been an interesting game. They are showing highlights on television tomorrow in Australia and I will make a note to see it. Sachin Tendulkar went past 14,000 ODI runs in his innings, the game itself was decided by the Duckworth Lewis method when the light got too bad, and Inzamam was given out obstructing the field!
No Comments »England v Australia – 20/20 wicket updates
By Will 5 years ago, mid-June, 5 Comments »
OK so the first mickey-mouse game of the summer, and the first game of this absurdly-exciting series, gets underway tomorrow, in 23 and a half hours time. 20/20 all but passed me by last season – but I did catch a glimpse of Surrey’s win (I think it was Surrey?), and I’m sure I’ll enjoy them this year. I’m still a purist (“Test Cricket is the only true test of a player’s ability” et al), but ODIs have brought great entertainment – and it’s been fascinating to see 20/20 take off.
Although, Australian coach John Buchanan has just stated his concerns over the 20/20 format: I wonder whether his opinion of it will change come September?
I’ll be providing wicket-alerts (and score updates) of this game by email – if you want to receive updates, just leave a comment below. Incidentally, I intend to offer DVD-recorded highlights of Ashes games this year, as I spoke about in February, starting from tomorrow.
