A new shareware game has been released named Clash of the Titans which is a text based cricket game written for the MS Access platform.

With another testing series against Sri Lanka ahead, the West Indies selectors are back to work to earn their ample wages. The search is on for the eleven men who can compete for five days at a time and reverse a humiliating trend of mediocrity. Thus far the selectors have named a squad of fifteen players in preparation for the first Test. But the only firm selection decision as yet is the confirmation of Chris Gayle to the West Indies captaincy. An unfortunate consequence of his injury, the move resigns Ramnaresh Sarwan to the role of deputy again.

We have just started back in full time training. The first day back holds a gruesome fitness test that all the boys dread.

This week, we examine the Test teams’ favourite grounds, the bowlers who enjoyed bowling at certain batsmen, the batsmen who enjoyed touring, the bad declarations, and more.

This weekend I’ve been in the Lake District, partially underwater and also having my tent upended… More next weekend.

Sri Lanka’s performance this Australian summer has been far below its ability. There has been a severe slump in their one day form over the last six months or so, which included a series loss at home to England.

This week, we look at those who missed the MOTM, the First-Class and Test debuts in the same match, the bowling wicketkeepers, and a lot of records involving opening batsmen.

In the midst of what is only a few steps short of complete chaos at administration level, Zimbabwe has still managed to field a decent batting lineup.

I told you this week would be more interesting than last. Alright, I’ve still barely had the time to scribble this down around about a workload that I’m not going to whinge about on here, because I knew it would be like this when I signed the contract, but there’s a lot more cricket on, at least.

At the time of writing, it is uncertain whether Australia’s tour of Pakistan will go ahead, while Bangladesh’s tour Down Under has been postponed due to its clashing with the Beijing Olympics.
