Pissed OFF!

Rarely has one man been let down by so many team mates on the one occasion. He is a Pirate (singular) of the Caribbean and the others should all just walk the plank.

A Flock of ....

... Umar Guls.

Well only one really, but he does fly high and he does move around in the air a fair bit.

Are You Heading In The Right Direction?

Well Sri Lanka is. All the way to the semis and I suspect beyond.

You would have to say that NZ is also heading in the direction their play deserved. There is little point in batting deep if you forget to actually bat!

Winners Are Bigger

It is not a law of nature, just a fact of life.

How Many Sixes Are Too Many?

Too much of a good thing can make you jaded very quickly. There is no point getting too excited about Dwayne Bravo's six because, like London buses, there will be another along in a minute.

Something To Ponder

Now what might Ricky be thinking?

I will start the ball rolling with - "I wonder what Simmo brought at Duty Free?"

England Finds Balance

The boys in dark blue bounced back from the orange nightmare and turned Pakistan a little more green. T20 happens quickly and so do the form reversals.

Pride Of Face

Nice image from the boys at Getty.

Not, Out Cricket

Fantastic effort by the Orangemen but, oh The England. What happened to the fielding under pressure?

The England are unlikely to feel any better when the standard - it was the result that set up the tournament - is rolled out.

Pirate Of The Caribbean

If there is one team that relies almost completely on a single swashbuckler it must be the West Indies. Having declared his love of the T20 format Chris the Corsair has the chance to show just how exciting he thinks it can be, with or without feathered accessories.

The Daleks To Bowl First

And what better place than Dr Who's London to play an intergalactic game like Twenty20? Science Fiction and cricket have a long and intertwined history and you have to think that some of the players are from some very distant star systems.

Whirlwind Cricket

Bopara in the eye of the storm.

Roll on some cricket, it is getting so bad I even watched some netball yesterday.
