Golden

The end of one golden time and perhaps the start of yet another golden era?

The 200 Club

Time To Catch The Fever

The four best teams are in the semis - now it gets really exciting!

Reaping The Whirlwind

AB De Viiliers - one of the forces of nature on show in this World Cup.

Never Too Old To Boogie!

Time To Take Things Seriously

C'mon Rossco, less smiles and more runs, eh!

Make Up, Front Up

Be they good games, great games or poor showings, you can't bag the level of commitment and support teams have had from their spectators.

A Great Occasion

It was certainly a day and a game to remember, but it felt a bit like the occasion was a little too big for the players.

Oh, What A Feeling!

A few more crackers like today's Afghanistan vs Scotland thriller might be enough to convince the "Big Three" that there is great entertainment and value in spreading the cricket web wider. Sport is more than watching over hyped (and paid) "heroes" playing each other over and over. Grow the game and then let us watch and enjoy the fun.

When You Got, You Got it

Numbers speak louder than words.

A Fine Day For A Good Win

Hagley Park was truly a little piece of England on this lovely Monday in the sun.

Facing Off

Good to see Dale Steyn and Ajinkya Rahane embody a full on competition between two quality teams. Nothing worse than a whole lot of "donkey lickings" to start off a tournament.

Colour And Pride

One of the strengths of the Cricket World Cup is the way the "minnows" add so much colour, passion, pride and variety to the event. They seem to bring more than just hard to pronounce surnames and occasional upset potential, something not seen in some other codes 4 yearly knees up. 

Paddy Power

Lots of smiles in sunny Nelson, especially for those wearing the emerald green. Even the bookies would be happy, although they couldn't be at the game for security reasons. If the Windies don't sharpen up they may be looking to get back to their own sunny shores and keep their heads down - also for security reasons.

Boom Boom's Last Big Bang

You have got to figure that the great entertainer is getting close to playing his last impossible shot. Would be great to see him go out with a boom.

Angry Eyes

It might have only been a warm up game but there is little doubt that Kyle Abbott is putting in plenty in this delivery.

The Hands Of Irfan

Big man, big hands, big future!

Kate At The Crease

In the immortal words of Monty Python - "She's a good sheila Bruce, and not at all stuck up" 

Bring It On ...

... and bring back the beige!

Too Soon?

Four years go fast folks so start planning that Southern Hemisphere sabbatical now.
