Thoughts on Season 08/09
It was a summer of change. The aura disappeared, and the ‘impossible’ task of winning a test series against the Aussies in Australia was made possible by a very good (but not brilliant) South African team. They played a good series, winning the bi...

Around the Wicket - Michael Clarke, Australian Captain
Michael Clarke is 27 years old and widely considered the next captain of Australia. For those who know their cricket history – 27 is about the same age Ricky Ponting was handed the captaincy of the One Day International side. It’s also around the ...

Around the Wicket - The State of Australian Cricket
Australian cricket is at a very interesting stage right now. We’ve just seen the loss of some of the absolute greats of the game. Warne, Gilchrist, and McGrath all would rank somewhere in the top 15 cricketers of all time, but then you have Langer...

Around the Wicket - Rating the Aussies
Australia Player Ratings Alright, so we know the Aussies were outplayed, but there were still some good performers. Incidentally, we had two of the best 3 bowlers, and 3 of the best 4 batsmen... stats don’t always tell the true story. Here’s h...

Around the Wicket - Rating the South Africans
South Africa Player Ratings Just thought I would go through and give my assessment on how the players from both teams performed this summer. First – the winners – South Africa, who played brilliant, pressure cricket from day 1. They may not be ...

Around the Wicket - 1st Test Thoughts
Well, if it wasn’t clear to you before, it should be now. The Australian team is no longer the unbeatable machine that it has been over the last 10 years. We gave the boys some leeway for the loss in India, after all – only 1 Australian side has w...

Around the Wicket - 1st Test Preview
OK – so on to the real test cricket. After a couple of warm up games against a side that couldn’t beat 4 of the 6 state sides, it’s time for the clash of the heavyweights. 1 v 2. And I’m excited. I think this series may prove to be one of the most...

Around the Wicket - Over Rated South Africans?
Wow. Is there pressure on Dale Steyn or what? I mean, here we are, a week or so out from his first ever test match on Australian soil, and the cricket world is already going into hysterics about how he will decimate the Aussies. Far be it for ...

Around the Wicket - Some Random Thoughts
Well, 2-0. Did anybody think anything different would happen? I have had a good think about the test series, and have come to the conclusion that the only Black Cap who would get a game for Australia right now would be Daniel Vettori. Further to t...
