  • 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.

    Darren DJ Sammy takes seven

    By Will last year, mid-June, 1 Comment »

    Well bowled DJ Sammy. Just watched the highlights, and he bowled much better in England’s second dig; full, straight and intelligently cutting it off the seam. Seven wickets on debut and the first St Lucian to play for West Indies, too. He looks like he’s got something about him. Allied to his rhythmical action and control he’s slick in the field (excellent return catch to dismiss Michael Vaughan).

    Best of all, he has some of the most entertaining celebrations I’ve seen in a long while

    Sehwag’s 180

    By Will 2 years ago, mid-June, 2 Comments »

    Blink for a day and you miss an innings. Not been around much to follow any cricket, but have just noticed Virender Sehwag (who I sometimes inadvertantly call Segwah) crunched (smashed, clobbered, belted, pelted) 180 from 190 balls. Ugly! His career strike-rate is now at the obscene average of over 75 which, considering he’s 44 runs from 4000 in Test cricket, is a damn spiffing effort.

    Day two is about to start.
