By Will last year, at the end of November, 4 Comments »
Nice line on the recently retired Darren Lehmann:
Lehmann was never less than a sublime batsman. He was not so much unorthodox as post-orthodox. Batsmen talk of using the length of the crease, but few can have used its width as he did. There he was the other night in Adelaide, taking a stance two feet outside leg stump to face Brad Hogg and utterly confounding him. Next week, Hogg will be playing for Australia, Lehmann for no one.
And you can see Lehmann’s brilliant 126* below, including the hammering he gave Hogg (who was clueless). What a knock. 126 not out in your final one-dayer - and just check out the final shot to secure South Australia’s win.

4 Comments »Shane Warne’s new TV advert
By Will last year, mid-November, 3 Comments »
He was an expert at bamboozling England’s batsmen, but now Shane Warne is set to leave viewers flummoxed in a new TV advert.
The spin legend spent hours in make-up to appear as a baby and also as his own mum and dad.
Warne said: “It was a hoot. I absolutely loved doing the ads.”
Do leave a comment if you’ve seen it or, better, have a link to it.
3 Comments »Bill Lawry: it’s backyard cricket war
By Will last year, at the end of October, 4 Comments »
Any excuse to put up a video involving Bill Lawry, the most impersonated man at Cricinfo Towers. Ford, who sponsor all Cricket Australia vehicular needs, are declaring “Backyard Cricket War” on the country. I’m not quite sure what that means, but there are two videos to show featuring Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Mike Hussey…and Matthew Hayden in an apron.
Look out for Bill’s cameo at the end of the second.

One in four people coming to this blog do so to find Shahid Afridi information. What makes this all the more unsettling is that I hardly ever mention the big winner but, to satisfy those of you who hunger for his news, here’s a video:
A champion winner if ever there was one.

I don’t know why but Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds appear to have settled their differences. They’ve hooked up with a couple of lady friends and decided that the best way to resolve their spat is with a damn good dance. Click here if you can’t see it below (takes a while to load).

By Will last year, mid-October, 8 Comments »
Not so much a trick as his actual training method when he was a youngster. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Clarke is featured in the latest TV commercial in Australia doing it. If anyone has a video, or link, do share.
8 Comments »FIRST it was The Don. Now it is Pup’s turn. Michael Clarke has emulated Donald Bradman’s golf-ball-and-stump practice technique in Cricket Australia’s new television advertising campaign promoting the 2007-08 season.
In the first television ad of the “Hungry for it” campaign, Clarke replicates the famous footage of The Don sharpening his skills by throwing a golf ball at the base of a water tank and batting it back and forth with a stump - just as he did as a child in Bowral. Cricket Australia said the campaign focused on the new breed of stars who were steering Australian cricket into the future.
Clarke, who still uses the technique to fine-tune his batting, said he was honoured to be featured in the advertisement.

By Will last year, at the end of August, 7 Comments »
What a performance from Ravi Bopara and Stuart Broad last night. I missed it, naturally, but have found a video of their brilliant partnership courtesy of crickethighlights.info - do give it a watch. They are the future, and are ridiculously level-headed for their age.
Incidentally, apparently you might need Firefox to watch it.
Black guys running all over the pitch…

Don’t worry, he’s not dead. This is just a video I found of the great Montster, featuring Bonnie Tyler’s brilliantly inappropriate song (in terms of the feel of the music, not the title…) Holding Out For a Hero.

Sorry for lack of posts lately. This is why:
It was rocktacular, epic and sweaty. The only possible link to cricket this post has is, after the gig, Miller and I decamped in the nearest pub and met a very old Jamaican and slightly younger Jamaican. Cricket was discussed, among other things…
