Good Cricket Wicket (Free subscription) | 14/10/2009

Shane Warne has a habit of saying things in the press that English cricket does not want to hear and that come back to bite us. Remember what he said about Ravi Bopara before the Ashes? Five months after becoming England's latest pre-ordained Ashes hero, RavBop didn't even make it into the Performance Programme. So when Warne writes in his Times column that England will ruin Stuart Broad, now...

Mahmood Inclusion Slips Under The Radar

The Daily Dust (Free subscription) | 09/10/2009

Steve Harmison’s Test omission grabbed headlines but Sajid Mahmood’s One Day International recall, announced Thursday, smacks of mixed messages from England’s selectors. Geoff Miller was unequivocal on the back of Owais Shah’s most recent ODI jettison, just as he was on Ravi Bopara’s return to the Essex fold; inconsistency simply will not do. Opting for a wayward strike...

The Corridor (a cricket blog) (Free subscription) | 08/10/2009

Well what an odd feeling it was reading (as opposed to doing, but I digress entirely) the England selection today. No Ravi Bopara, whose cocksure waves to the pavilion against West Indies to acknowledge his hundreds were greeted with initial surprise, followed by widespread admission that England had on their hands a great talent. His [...]
