Two weeks in a row! Not as busy as I have been. The BBL takes center stage. The playoffs are set, and Adelaide Strikers will play Brisbane Heat to decide the first eliminated team. Then Perth Scorchers take on Sydney … Continue reading All Things Cricket: January 26th

Well, then. That was something! India, missing only, you know, some random guys named Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin, chased down 328 in the fourth innings to beat Australia at Fortress Gabba in Brisbane. Hard to … Continue reading All Things Cricket: January 19th

We close out the year with a lot of stuff. The biggest news lately has been the Australia v. India Test series. India embarrassed themselves in Adelaide with a 36 all out second innings in the first Test and lost … Continue reading All Things Cricket: December 29th

The BBL is in Round 2. Peter Siddle of Adelaide Strikers took a 5-fer last night against Hobart Hurricanes, which is almost more remarkable than his hairstyle. Adelaide won by 5 wickets in Launceston to avenge an 11-run loss earlier … Continue reading All Things Cricket: December 15th

The WBBL final was all Sydney Thunder. Their fast bowling attack was too much for regular season points leader Melbourne Stars and Australia/Stars captain Meg Lanning. Melbourne limped to 86 for 9 and were chased in a mere 13.4 overs. … Continue reading All Things Cricket: December 1st

The WBBL is in the business end of the tournament. Perth Scorchers v Melbourne Stars is the first semifinal tomorrow morning at 2:10 am CT, followed by Brisbane Heat v Sydney Thunder on Thanksgiving morning at 2:10 am CT. I’ll … Continue reading All Things Cricket: November 24th

Hey, I’m back! Not super busy for a change. The WBBL tops the list of news lately. The league just finished round 11 last night, and Melbourne Stars are firmly in the lead with 17 points, a 5-point cushion over … Continue reading All Things Cricket: November 17th

Not today. Doubtful next week or the week after. Too busy. I’ll leave this placeholder so you can comment. Sorry, but work intervenes sometimes. Continue reading All Things Cricket: October 20th

The IPL is starting to take center stage these days, since the England domestic season has ended and the Australian domestic season is just getting started. Mumbai won a big contest versus Delhi with two balls remaining on a four … Continue reading All Things Cricket: October 13th

Sorry for missing last week. I was deep inside a building at a chemical plant fixing a problem and had no time or internet signal. Where do we start? The Bob Willis Trophy and Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy were awarded, … Continue reading All Things Cricket: October 6th

What a crazy finish to the Vitality T20 Blast regular season on Sunday! Birmingham shot out to a 191 for 5 at home at Edgbaston, led by Adam Hose’s 119, and had Northants on the ropes at 71 for 6 … Continue reading All Things Cricket: September 22nd

It’s a comments-only week this week, I’m too busy. Please comment below. Thanks! Continue reading All Things Cricket: September 15th

We’ll start internationally again. England purloined the first of three T20Is from Australia in Southampton by two measly runs. Australia won the toss and elected to bowl, restricting England to a total of 162/7 with Kane Richardson and Glenn Maxwell … Continue reading All Things Cricket: September 8th

This is the time of TOO. MUCH. CRICKET. Which is a good problem. Let’s start internationally, at Emirates Old Trafford, where England won the only T20I game against Pakistan so far that had a result and is playing the third … Continue reading All Things Cricket: September 1st

England and Pakistan are in the 5th day of their third Test, with England way ahead and praying for the rain to go away. Pakistan is hanging in for a draw thanks to said rain and also to Captain Azhar … Continue reading All Things Cricket: August 25th

The second Test between England and Pakistan was won by…rain. Officially, it was a draw. Pakistan needs a win in the third test starting Friday to even the series. The CPL is back! After it rained, of course. Trinbago Knight … Continue reading All Things Cricket: August 18th

England defeated Pakistan with a stunning 277 fourth-innings chase at Emirates Old Trafford. Pakistan squandered any number of chances to win the match, including a third-innings collapse from 120/6 to 169 all out when just 20 or so extra runs … Continue reading All Things Cricket: August 11th

England smoked Ireland in two ODIs with another today. The IPL got the go-ahead from the Indian government to play in UAE. England and Pakistan start up with three tests, the first one in Manchester starting Wednesday. I’m pretty busy … Continue reading All Things Cricket: August 4th

England won back the Wisden Trophy for all eternity (it is being replaced by the Richards- Botham Trophy in the future) by beating the Windies in the third Test in the series, in Manchester. The Windies once again chose to … Continue reading All Things Cricket: July 28th

Another cracking good Test, this time in Manchester. England opened the batting after being put in by the West Indies, which would end up being a crucial mistake by WI Captain Jason Holder. They put up a magnificent 469, led … Continue reading All Things Cricket: July 21st

The West Indies overcame the absence of Shimron Hetmyer and Darren Bravo, a 1-month quarantine in the Ageas Bowl Hilton Garden Inn, and Ben Stokes and England’s fast bowlers to beat England by four wickets. Jason Holder (the taller guy … Continue reading All Things Cricket: July 14th
