It’s the story that just won’t go away. KP versus the ECB. KP versus his former teammates. The ECB versus modern cricket. KP versus his ego. Whatever you want to call it, the ‘KP saga’ just drags on and on. I tried to become disinterested in it during last summer, as I wanted to try…
With the selection of the England squads being among the most talked about facets of the game, I thought I would turn my attention to the XI players who failed to gain recognition. I humbly present my Current County Cricket XI who have never represented England. I’ve tried to include all formats of the game…
As this is the 13th post in my attempt to blog everyday of 2015, I thought I would honour the momentous occasion with a post on the unluckiest cricketers and cricketing moments. Kevin Pietersen I’m sure there are a whole host of reasons why KP will consider himself worthy of being on a list of…
So here we go. I’ve set myself the challenge of blogging everyday of 2015 – 365 posts! Some days they may be short and sweet; others long and rambling, but hopefully I can stick with it for the entire 12 months. Obviously, it would make it a lot better for me if people actually read…

The auction for the 2014 Indian Premier League took place last week and saw several of the world’s top talents snapped up for hundreds of thousands of dollars by eager franchises.

So it appears that Kevin Pietersen will never again take to the field in an England shirt. Pietersen has undoubtedly been the best player I have ever seen play for England, and the thought of him being pushed aged just 33 just doesn’t sit right with me. I can vaguely remember the bad old days…
In the wake of England’s crushing defeat in Sydney and with his side 3-0 down in the current ODI series, Alastair Cook gave the strongest indications yet that he may step down from his current role as ODI captain. When asked about his position as captain Cook responded saying. “I’m going to have a decision…
