I’m going on hiatus from this for a while. I’m extremely busy at work of late, and I’m also doing actual cricket stuff like teaching a kids introductory class and, soon, volunteering with USA Cricket and Minor League Cricket. Thanks … Continue reading All Things Cricket: Taking a break

Not a proper one, but closer than last time. Jos Buttler hit his third century of the tournament to power Rajasthan Royals to a win over Delhi Capitals. Royals, Gujarat Titans, and surprising Arsey Bees (Royal Challengers Bangalore) are all … Continue reading All Things Cricket: April 22nd

Too busy to do this lately. I’m sitting in an airport waiting for a flight that I got stuck on because I missed my original connection. It’s not going to the city where my hotel is, so I have to … Continue reading All Things Cricket: whatever today is

Australia has run the table in the group stage of the #CWC22 with astounding ease. If they lose from here on out, it will either be a monumental effort by another team, or an epic collapse by them. They still … Continue reading All Things Cricket: March 25th

#CWC22 continues toward the semifinals. Australia remain unbeaten and seemingly unbeatable, steamrolling New Zealand by 141 runs and not needing the final 118 balls in a 7-wicket mauling of the Windies. South Africa is right on their tails, requiring a … Continue reading All Things Cricket: March 18th

I’m traveling tomorrow, so this week we do it a day early. To paraphrase “The Young Ones” show-within-the-show “Nozin’ Aroun’,” that’s what All Things Cricket is all about: shock! #CWC22 is looking good for the Windies, who followed up one … Continue reading All Things Cricket: March 10th

Sorry, I forgot yesterday was Friday, and I was pretty busy. Mostly I was trying to come to grips with the news that Shane Warne had passed away at age 52. With Rod Marsh also having died the day before … Continue reading All Things Cricket: March 5th (a day late)

Let’s start with the pointy end of the PSL. Lahore just booked a spot in the final today with a remarkable win against Islamabad. Lahore needed to defend 8 off the final 8 with 7 United wickets down, and the … Continue reading All Things Cricket: February 25th

New Zealand is way out in front against South Africa on Day 3 of the first of their two Tests. South Africa were bowled out for 95, and then New Zealand compiled a huge 482 total in response. Henry Nichols … Continue reading All Things Cricket: February 18th

India swept three ODI’s from West Indies all by huge margins. Rohit, SKY and Shreyas Iyer were top scorers in the respective games. Australia won the first of five T20Is against visiting Sri Lanka. Josh Hazlewood had a 4-fer. White … Continue reading All Things Cricket: February 11th

I’m changing it up this week…first off, Australia retains the #WAshes with the famous Test draw (more on that) and a win in the first ODI; there will be a Women’s IPL starting in 2023 (yay, finally!); the Windies and … Continue reading All Things Cricket: February 4th

Just a very quick one today. I had no time this afternoon and I was just watching the Women’s Ashes when the rain started so now I have a minute. Speaking of the #WAshes, it was shaping up to be … Continue reading All Things Cricket: January 28th

The Women’s Ashes (#WAshes) started yesterday in Adelaide with a 9-wicket thumping by the hosts in the first of three T20Is. Tahlia McGrath, the latest in a long line of McGraths to menace England cricket, partnered primarily with captain Meg … Continue reading All Things Cricket: January 21st

I was going to do this here in the evening but my internet is wonky. We’ll see how it goes. The Ashes are no longer the top story after they were already retained by Australia. Sorry, that’s how it works. … Continue reading All Things Cricket: January 14th

The Ashes. Yikes. Australia have a 3-0 lead and will spend the next two tests, if they are played, going for the whitewash of a clearly over-matched England. Scott Boland’s amazing 6 wickets/7 runs performance ended any hope of England … Continue reading All Things Cricket: December 31st

I’m on vacation, so just quickly stopping in to note that USA beat Ireland in a T20I! And then lost to Ireland the next day. Still, to get one win is amazing. Also, Perth Scorchers are burning up the BBL11 … Continue reading All Things Cricket: December 24th

The 2nd Ashes Test in Adelaide is looking no better for England than the 1st Test, which Australia won by 9 wickets. If you recall, England went into Day 4 at the Gabba at 220/2 trailing only by 58 runs. … Continue reading All Things Cricket: December 17th

The Ashes has begun! On a green Gabba pitch on a cloudy, relatively cool day, Joe Root won the toss and…chose to bat, because that’s what you do in Test cricket. About 8 hours later, England were all out for … Continue reading All Things Cricket: December 10th

India and New Zealand are into their second Test, this one at Mumbai. The first Test at Kanpur was a draw, with the Kiwis’ Rachin Ravindra and Ajaz Patel gamely hanging on to their last wicket for more than 8 … Continue reading All Things Cricket: December 3rd

Perth Scorchers will host Adelaide Strikers at Perth Stadium tonight for the WBBL07 finals. Perth captain Sophie Devine and her fellow opening batter Beth Mooney have been lighting up the scoreboard all season. Dane van Niekerk for Perth will have … Continue reading All Things Cricket: November 26th

Matthew Wade led Australia to victory in the 2nd semifinal of the T20 World Cup in Dubai yesterday over previously unbeaten Pakistan. Wade’s final three shots were all sixes off 21-year-old phenom Shaheen Shah Afridi to get Australia over the … Continue reading All Things Cricket: November 12th
