highyengar.wordpress.com | Permalink | Wed, 06 May 2009 00:13:28 GMT

Test match cricket returns to England. The English summer begins with the home team playing a two-match test series against West Indies for the Wisden trophy. West Indies should be on a high after reclaiming the trophy back in the Carribean a couple of months ago. Though the results of the Carribean series do not signify the gulf in talent and skill that exists between these two sides, England will gain a second chance to nurse the wounds of defeat and gain sufficient momentum going into the Ash ...

Wonderful spell by Graham Onions today. He left West Indies' batsmen looking clueless and cold: they hate May in England, as most touring sides do, in spite of our unseasonally good weather.

This time, Christian Ryan lobbies for Bryce McGain to play in the Ashes and empathises with his pain at Newlands: There came a moment - 5.1 overs into his Test debut was the moment - when you stopped worrying about what might happen to Bryce McGain's next delivery and you started to fear for the next 25 years of his life. Bryce and his captain had just staged a dragged-out conversat ...

The post-match presentation after the 20-20 between Pakistan and Australia at Dubai Sports City was one of the most interesting presentations I have witnessed.It was very different from those that were held after the ODIs, particularly because of the interactions between some of the players.Unlike the Gala Dinner, which was held a few days back, the Pakistan and Australia players mingled with each other. There were animated discussions, jokes were cracked, and it was all very amusing to watch.He ...
