  • "The fact is that once I was playing again I was automatically available for everything on the schedule and that meant Stanford. I make no apologies for that and, as for the suggestion that I should waive the fee or give it to charity, I don't see why I should be a special case."
    Steve Harmison feels strongly about suggestions that he came out of one-day retirement in order to play the Stanford Twenty20 for 20

    Stanford 20/20 final, Antigua

    By Will 7 months ago, 5 Comments »

    I’m not around much for the next week but, quite by chance, I have a whole evening to myself to watch the final of the Stanford 20/20 between Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago. T&T have won the toss and elected to field - rather boldly, they’ve decided they can chase down whatever Jamaica set them. Under lights. In a final.

    Look out for William Perkins. He is a bit special, by all accounts.

    Tune your tellyboxes to Sky 401, read the comms on Cricinfo and generally have a spiffing time of it. Incidentally, Chris Gayle is developing a magnificent afro. What with the mullets some of the England squad are sporting, big hair is back.

    ‘As useless as a Jamaican pathologist’

    By Will last year, at the start of May, 4 Comments »

    Not my words but those of Jeremy Clarkson. I get all sorts of news stories emailed to me by Google, and pick up a lot from Newsnow, so I was confused that a piece in the Motoring section of The Times was flagged as cricket. And then I saw the pull-quote. Trust Clarkson to be (one of) the first to make a cheap jibe. He’s good for a laugh is Jezza.

    Live chat: New Zealand v Sri Lanka, 1st Semi-Final, Jamaica

    By Emma last year, at the end of April, 23 Comments »

    So, after weeks of play, we’ve finally made it to the first semi-final back where Pakistan exited the competition in such spectacular fashion. We can only hope, after such a long wait, that both this match and that at the Beausejour Stadium tomorrow, offer good, tight contests.

    But whatever happens, you can watch the scorecard and commentary at Cricinfo, and chat about it here.

    Harmison’s 7-12

    By Will 4 years ago, mid-November, No Comments; be the first!

    I sat down in front of the fire this afternoon (chilly here - just above freezing) and put on a DVD I bought highlighting England’s tour of the West Indies this year. What a great buy! I’m a huge fan of Steve Harmison - he has a similar awe-inspiring effect on me as Curtly Ambrose did 10 years ago, when I first started watching cricket.

    It was brilliant watching Harmison’s performance in the First Test in Kingston - 7 for 12! 7 wickets for 12 runs. 12 runs conceded for 7 wickets. No matter how you put it, it’s an amazing statistic - this is against the West Indies in the West Indies; the same place where England were bowled out for 46, ironically 10 years almost to the day! This time round, it was their turn - and they made just one run more
