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...

My Australia
Suspiciously they look at me, there brows slightly raised Another traveller faces, eyes staring back unfazed For its question posed with my whole heart, with truthful colours shown Australia I’m asking, what do you miss of home? And I kn...

Around the Wicket - New Year's Resolutions
Hey guys, hope you had a great Christmas! I know I did. Here’s to a great 2009. Now, being the intrepid journalist that I am, you will be pleased to know that after the MCG test, I did some good old fashioned journalism work, and I snooped an...

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 h...

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 ...

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...

Around the Wicket - Horses for Courses and Arrogant All Rounders
Did you know that in the last eleven tests, Australia has fielded eleven different XI’s? That’s a lot of 11’s. But, it’s also a very unsettled side. The selectors are trying to get around that little stat by telling people they have a new ...

Around the Wicket - Black Caps and Boycotts
So we’re all geared up for a 2 test series vs Daniel Vettori are we? Honestly – this series could be the death of New Zealand cricket. With a pumped up Aussie side looking to atone for the embarrassment of a 2-0 defeat to India, and New Zealan...
