- Totally Over The Top
Clearly an indictment of our recent lack of success are the utterly over the top plaudits for Jacob Bethell. His current record is 6 first innings in tests for 55 runs and 5 of those at number 3 for 49 runs!!! Yet he’s being compared to Gower, Thorpe and even Lara! I was as thrilled as anyone about his wonderful 154 in the second innings at Sydney but when he starts scoring lots of first innings runs and big hundreds to set up the game, i’ll happily start to believe the hype! If Pope had scored... more

United Kingdom2 months ago - I blame the media
Our media’s indulgence of “Bazball” has fully allowed the lunatics to take over the asylum! The kool aid drinking written, spoken and every other type of cricketing media have allowed their clearly knowledgeable judgement to be infiltrated by the utter nonsense gleefully relayed to them by Key, McCullum and Stokes! Meanwhile we failed to win the Ashes at home, got utterly thrashed in India, failed to beat India at home and arguably worst of all, that has hardly been commented on, refused to even... more
Apple Podcasts5SkrimmersUnited Kingdom3 months ago - Cummins Injury
It always surprises me with the amnesia that occurs amongst so-called experts!! On Cummins’ injury: “neutrals want to see the best versus the best”! Who exactly are the neutrals in an Ashes series? Do we not remember McGrath’s injury in 2005 was arguably the most important factor to England regaining the Ashes! I am not sure many England cricket fans reflected back on what a disappointment it was that we didn’t see McGrath for all five tests!! Come on guys you are better than this with your vir... more

Apple Podcasts5SkrimmersUnited Kingdom6 months ago - What a 5th Test Match but fans were short changed
What an incredible hour on Day 5 at the Oval! But there is a sinister profiteering side. The ECB and in this case Surrey CCC / The Oval decided in their wisdom that there are no refunds on day 5 for under 15 / 30 overs of play in the 5th test match v India! To add insult to injury The Oval’s policy is different to say Lord’s where Day 5 is included within the refund policy! So all those fans going to The Oval paying £25 for a Day 5 ticket hoping for a full day’s play and adding to the atmospher... more
