The Ashes: Journalists and Mark Ramprakash
For all those people who are tired of the press insisting that Steve Harmison, Ian Bell or whoever be recalled to the England team, get this: All of the mainstream press are currently running “who will replace KP” type articles. At least three of them have included the name Mark Ramprakash.
The Ashes: Kevin Pietersen has surgery
On his achilles that is, before all you KP-haters out there get too excited. This means that KP will miss the rest of the Ashes. Frankly, we could see this coming with all the inevitability of a tax-hike. Four injections to limp through five days of cricket is too much.

The Ashes: England ready to go Back to the Future
Both Pietersen and Flintoff are to see specialists regarding their respective injuries before a decision is made about their participation in the 3rd Test at Edgbaston.

The Ashes 1st Test Final session
Australia need just three wickets with England 169-7 at tea on day 5. Assuming that they complete the win, the advantage that they have been gifted by England will probably be enough to win the series.

The Ashes: 1st test update
After Australia spent two days grinding England’s bowlers into the dust, England will have to perform a repeat of their first innings to get away from this match with a draw.

Ashes 2009 first impressions
Limited as I am to listening on TMS (and I had to go out to collect my son from nursery. And he’s not even that interested in the cricket. Yet…) my first impressions are somewhat limited. But here goes all the same.

England knocked out of World Twenty20
To be honest, this was probably as far as they were expected to get. That they managed to bounce back from the humiliation against Holland was creditable, and the victory over India was a feather in their cap.
