Poor technology hampers cricket
Michael Vaughan dives to catch Hashim Amla. Or did he? (© Getty Images) I really want technology to work in cricket, for it to help umpires, and avoid those unnecessary delays. But today highlighted just why no current technology can really be trusted to confirm or correct an umpire’s... Read more...

England v South Africa, 2nd Test, Leeds, 1st day - live chat!
We’ve barely had time to catch our breath from Lord’s, but here we are with another Test upon us. England are already feeling the strain: Sidebottom’s crock, so is Anderson (well, duh) and Broad has apparently snapped his ankle. Or something less severe, probably. A roof-tiler has been...

Cool tube
One of the reasons I love cities is seeing how they cope with all the people. On the surface, in London at least, all seems quite normal and even habitable. Underground is a different story, with thousands of miles of pipes and cables and sewers and dead bodies and all the crap we don’t want to... Read more...

A fan’s-eye view of the EPL
On hearing a new initiative, my first instinct has generally been the most reliable one. “A shorter World Cup? Great!” “$10 million, winner-takes-all? What is this, a game show?” But I’m less certain about the contented feeling I got in the pit of my stomach immediately after reading... Read more...

Flintoff edges ever closer
We’ve coped for so long without him, it really will be oddly odd to see Andrew Flintoff playing for England again. Oddly odd in a good way, of course. If he plays against South Africa on Friday, it will be his first Test for 1 year, 6 months and 13 days; 560 days of trekking up hills, pounding... Read more...

Ask Pietersen a question
My mate Dan needs your help. He’s too short to reach the top shelf in his local newsagent. He’s speaking to Kevin Pietersen for The Wisden Cricketer magazine soon and wants your ideas for questions. Be sensible… That’s enough plugs for now, I reckon. Read more...

English Premier League in 2010
I’ve been off a couple of days and there’s masses to catch up on at this late hour, not least the ECB’s domestic restructuring and unveiling of the English Premier League. Briefly, this is the deal: In a unanimous decision, the format that has been agreed upon will involve all 18... Read more...

A poor advert for the game?
Help me out here. I’m struggling to decide whether the past five days has done Test cricket a good deal or not. My instinct says no. England racked up nearly 600, bowled South Africa out once, then the South Africans realised how placid the pitch was and applied application to their obvious... Read more...

Dave and Beefy
Enjoyable spottage from John Stern: As a piece of electioneering, it was a pretty feeble effort. David Cameron, leader of the Conservative party, was at Lord’s yesterday showing off his alleged cricketing credentials to Test Match Special listeners. He was just about to enter the TMS commentary... Read more...

England v South Africa, 1st Test, Lord’s, 4th day
England are owning this Test, but they’re by no means going to walk this victory. Sri Lanka were bowled out cheaply here in 2006 and responded in their follow-on with a monstrous effort, the figures of which I’ve utterly forgotten and can’t be bothered to check. That said, Monty is bowling... Read more...

England dominate; South Africa fold; Prince reigns
It’s late and I’m beery. Briefly, England were disconcertingly excellent today. And even more briefly: James Anderson’s catch at mid-on to dismiss AB de Villiers was a bit special, proving (were any proof needed) that fast bowlers these days are as vital assets in the field as any other...

England v South Africa, 1st Test, Lord’s, 3rd day
Huge first innings of 593 for 8 by England, how will Graeme Smith and Neil McKenzie get on? Here’s the scorecard. Leave a gazillion comments like the frenzied animals you all are. Read more...
