The Golden Wave

Asia Cup Champions - not a bad time to celebrate.

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

Xavier Doherty might be happy to bowl all night but you can bet the English team will be real happy to turn out the lights and walk off in to the darkness.

Keeping Things Simple

The Australian cricket public have a clear expectations of their players and just as clear when it comes to expressing those expectations.

The Jaipur Juggernauts

Kohli and Sharma celebrate the run away juggernaut that was the Indian innings.

The Thoughts Of Michael Clarke V

Ravi Dances

Ravi Bopara gets in the groove, and not before time.

Winners R Grinners ...

... and pointers and clappers. And yes, it should hurt to lose.

One Ball To Win It All

No description needed.

The Minnows Know...

... you must enjoy every win. The cup and the points go to Zimbabwe, and well deserved.

More Than Remarkable

So much for the occasional one day game in Queenstown.

If you want a real alpine back drop to a game of cricket it is hard to beat the rarefied air of Dharamsala.

Two Faced Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja is obviously very into the game, but he needn't have worried, they won and he was bloody good.

All Action - All Emotion

Shoaib Malik gets to celebrate and you get the feeling it has real meaning for him and his team.

Weather Predictions

A Spring In The Step

The sun on your back, no previous baggage and the wicket of Amla is a good enough reason for a lightness of foot.

Gambhir Stays Strong

Strong image, strong stance, strong performance. Double G is back.

Good Luck Kane Williamson

There is little doubt that KW is the future, but it will take more than youthful enthusiasm and quiet determination to turn his first go into a one day success story. A little help from his fragile team mates would not go amiss.

Tino Gives It His Best Shot

You can't do it every time Tino but I suspect that is not going to stop you trying.

All I Wanted For Xmas Was A Five Day Test

Great knock by Warner, he has every right to be happy.

On the other hand I am not so pleased.

A summer test series in Aussie is a summer tradition where I can usually stay (fairly) impartial and enjoy the cut and thrust of the action while the Kiwi summer is blowing and raining itself into autumn.

There is very little fun to be had watching a ritual execution where those about to meet their maker don't even appear to have the will to fight for their last breath.

It is going to very hard to get up much enthusiasm for the ODI series to follow and I suspect even the Aussie fans are going to get a little tired of the slaughter - perhaps all those Indian fans who didn't turn up to the stadiums back home knew more than we thought.

Pulverised In Paarl

It would appear that Sri Lanka paid more attention to the scenery than they did to the game of cricket. It takes a bit of pressure of that other team that scored 47 a few months back.

Next Trophy Up

Ashwin and Ojha look happy with the trophy in hand, but now India has to start the hunt for the next piece of silverware.

At least it is all new and exciting for the new boys - God knows how many trophies Tendulkar has seen in his time.
