Dilshan: better than your imagination
September 24, 2009 – 1:09 am
You know when you have that dream that you are the most Awesomest thing alive.
Either you are a rockstar with men throwing their boxer shorts on stage, a boxer with old white Jewish writers saying you are better than Ali or some politician that fixes the world and also fights off evil aliens.
Everyone has the [...]
RIP Amy S
September 7, 2009 – 9:22 am
I am making an assumption that you are not a part of cricket blogging community and that you will not know now of the parting of one of Australia’s best cricket bloggers, Amy S.
Amy was only 26.
Her friend has put up a piece about her passing over at Amy’s site.
I will not go [...]
Nothing Wrong with Old Trafford run ups, Lad
September 3, 2009 – 1:40 am
After the Old Trafford 2020 game was called off we called Lancashire’s Jim Cumbes to talk about the game. Some guy answered his phone, I can only assume it was Jim.
CWB: Hi Jim, shame about the rain.
Jim: Rain my ass, those blood umpire fools ruined this, I’ve ‘ad more rain indoors than this.
CWB: Whoa Jim, [...]

Ashes 09: Narrating Ramps’ Dream
August 14, 2009 – 8:14 am
In his deepest sleep, he always dreamt of the same thing.
The people wanted him; they screamed his name from every corner of the land.
They had not seen him in a long time, but his legend had grown with every year he was gone.
At first the wise old men were sceptical, but they feared their chance [...]
Ashes 09: Cricket with Arsenal great Ray Parlour
August 13, 2009 – 8:50 am
On Saturday afternoon the ECB finally said I could turn up to the last three days of the Test. I was on the phone with them when Ravi Bopara went out, and about 40 minutes later three more of his friends were gone as well. With England five down, and a potential six hour round [...]
Ashes 09: England Self Flagellate
August 9, 2009 – 8:21 am
As a cricket writer watching a day’s play you generally take notes as it goes. Things that happened that interested you at various times, stats that stick out, perhaps some interesting quip you or someone else came up with. Anything that will help you write up the day.
For some reason I only wrote one note [...]
Ashes 09: Previously at Headingley
August 8, 2009 – 4:15 pm
Australia
What? Good bowling in helpful conditions, attacking batting against shit bowling on a tricky pitch. And suddenly this is one good day away from being all but over. What?
England
Shit.
Can England come back
Yes. 6 wickets in an hour could keep them in the game. Then they just have to make like 450 and… Wow. Ok. Yes [...]
