  Aust v SA

  There was a few (Australian) pundits who made short work of Graeme Smiths comments after they beat England last (Northern) summer.  Apparently he was a real arrogant arse-hole for even imagining that SA had enough skills and stuff (based on the beating they gave England) and were in a good position to beat the Australians.  All I can say is well done the Proteas...

  Here we go...

  SirLoin is rarely wrong in his predictions.  For the past 3 years he has been one of Englands loudest critics but seems to have changed his tune recently.

  20 - 20 for 20

  Big match going down in Antigua this Saturday.  The Stanford 20 - 20 for $20,000,000.  The Stanford Superstars who are basically the West Indies ODI team versus England.  So far there has been some good "warm-up" cricket.  Wish I was there... Rather than my useless journalisn, you can read about it here...

  They might pull out some draws with the help of rain but a few pea-shooter bowlers and mild mannered batsmen against the SA ball smashing batters and rocket launching bowlers, England don't have a hope in hell of winning.

  First Test starts today at Lords.  I don't think it will be a pretty sight - as ever, we'll see...

  Now they want cricket in the olympics!

  ...and just like football (soccer) it would exclude the UK because the ECB won't support the concept of a team which includes England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.  The same would go for the Commonwealth Games because the ECB wouldn't support seperate England and Wales teams.  Although the ECB will appoint a South African born player as a Captain (eg's. Strauss as Test Captain and Petersen as One Day Captain) as they have in the past...

  Cricket to be Worlds Biggest Sport

  This billionaire bloke is really going for it.  He loves the Twenty20 format and thinks it will be the dominant sport in a few years.  With the amount of money he's looking to throw at it he seems as though he's going to give it his best shot.  Read and hear it here
