  • 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.

    What do Prince Charles and Ganguly have in common?

    By Will 2 years ago, mid-June, 1 Comment »

    Plenty, according to Andrew Flintoff. He and Sourav shared a dressing room in Lancashire a few years which was one of the more acrimonious friendships going around. It’s safe to say they’re not bosom pals.

    Anyway, Mr Ganguly is back in county cricket - this time for Northamptonshire. Paul Coupar, the assistant editor of The Wisden Cricketer a few desks behind us, went along to the press conference today where he said Ganguly was very humble and difident. He assured us it was, in fact, Ganguly there and not his double.

    So go and read Paul’s piece.

    Shaun Tait: raw but menacing

    By Will 3 years ago, mid-August, 10 Comments »

    Today, we’ll get a better idea of Shaun Tait’s chances of playing the fourth Test at Trent Bridge. He has contributed two wickets, in Australia’s dismantling of Northamptonshire who, at lunch, are 8 down. Tait hit Tim Roberts on the head, causing lots of blood and cuts and although his two wickets were expensive, his obvious menace might be just the tonic Australia need. Thoughts?

    No, not that Pietersen - not Kevin, but Charl. A Kolpak player, one of about 590 Northamptonshire have employed this year, has blown aware Denmark by taking 7-10. Who says English Cricket standards aren’t improving! :)
