Men In White (On Green)

Tharanga Paranavitana plays a quality shot, and what a joy to someone in darkest NZ to turn on the box and find men in white playing quality test cricket in  Welsh sunshine. The England versus the Sub Continent may well get me through the next few months.

Terry Jenner RIP

There are only a few special sportsman who can compete at the highest level and then go on to have an even greater impact as a mentor and coach.

Terry Jenner would have to rate as one of those special people.

Race To Raina ...

... and the IPL final.

Comprehensively Beaten

Cleaned out.
Castled.
Gone all ends up.
Missed a straight one.
Bowled neck and crop.
(leave your bit of descriptive genius in the comment box)

However you choose to describe it, Kraigg Braithwaite is very, very out - and I have little sympathy for anyone who spells Craig with a K and two G's.

Good Form

There is nothing quite like a nice high elbow.
