Thoughts from the Dustbin (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009
On the night of November 17th 2009, in a seedy bar in downtown Johannesburg, four men sat huddled quietly over a dirty table in an ill-lit booth. The world was not yet to know it, but these men were forming a secret committee with an important mission. Sometime near midnight, the four men - later revealed as Ricky Ponting, M.S. Dhoni, Graeme Smith and Chris Gayle (Younis Khan was originally invited...

Bowling should be a personal battle – of wills as well as skills. Sajid Mahmood and co take note We wait to see if there are any long-lasting scars. There could be after that drubbing for England by South Africa at Centurion . It was only 20 overs but the mayhem in the field was such that several players could take a while to recover.

After Yorkshire's controversial release of long-serving bowler Matthew Hoggard, it was good to hear the news that someone actually wants him. As he's only 32 and had a reasonably good 2009 with his old county, that wasn't a surprise.

His England career ended brutally – now Matthew Hoggard has the chance to show his cerebral side with Leicestershire In all my years involved in cricket I don't think I have ever seen an international cricketer of long-standing and considerable achievement have his career at the top level terminated so ruthlessly, in the middle of a series as well, as Matthew Hoggard.

Hampshire came into the last day of this County Championship game against Durham looking to reach the 400 mark and with the fall of Chris Benham and nightwatchman David Griffiths last night, they only had 4 wickets in hand to achieve that goal. Starting the day on 267 for 6, new man Sean Ervine laid down his intentions of picking up the pace with a huge six in the first complete over of the day off...

Champions Durham had one wicket in hand going into this third day of the County Championship match against Hampshire. Resuming on 435 for 9, Steve Harmison and Scott Borthwick looked to add as many runs as possible but fortunately for the home side they lasted only 10 balls. David Griffiths trapped Harmison leg before for Durham to end their first innings on 439 all out. Jimmy Adams and Liam Dawson...
