  • I think those speed guns are a load of crap. Somehow the white ball goes faster - I bowled 83-84mph in the Test match, and 93mph in the one-dayers. It's crazy. I hadn't bowled a ball for ten days.

    England are not quite ready yet

    By Scott 3 years ago, at the start of December, 1 Comment »

    David Hopps reports that with Michael Vaughan having surgery on his knee, England’s preparation for the ODI series against Pakistan are in a bit of disarray.

    The Ashes series win against Australia was plotted and schemed for at least a year, perhaps longer; by contrast any modifications of approach for the five one-day matches against Pakistan will probably be scribbled down on the back of the circular pushed under all hotel doors yesterday promising “fabulous menus in the steak house from our executive chef Anjum”. Mushroom soup a speciality.

    The uncertainty over Vaughan, the loss through injury of Ashley Giles, the time off for Strauss, who is expected back in Pakistan today after the birth of his son Samuel, have all added uncertainty to a one-day squad that, in any case, is showing few signs of settling.

    I’ll have the soup.
