Vaughan joins Test Match Special 12:58pm on 19 Sep 2009 Any news on a comeback for Graeme Fowler - have always enjoyed his dry wit and considered summarising.
PM: 'We'll cut with Germany, France and the US' 1:47pm on 15 Sep 2009 The unelected Brown's supposedly been in charge of the country's finances and law making for a dozen years, so doesn't it reason that he should have done way more to secure the public finances. But getting this arrogant man to admit the gross error of his ways is nigh on impossible.

Ans as they'll never have the guts to take on the wretched Unions and control public spending it's cheerio to Gordon and Labour.
Chicago calling or roll on Rio? 11:10am on 03 Sep 2009 Bring on Cape Town in 2020
Cricket misses the point again 12:41pm on 02 Sep 2009 It now seems doubly unfortunate that the ECB are removing future matches from Lord's, which is by far the best quick draining ground in the country, and awarding ever more international fixtures to those grounds which have barely adequate covering let alone any decent drainage.

Why is the ECB so against Lord's ?
England left to absorb shocking defeat 10:33am on 06 Jun 2009 An utterly supine, arrogant performance from a strangely selected and weakly led England team. What an embarrassing display in the field. Shameful.

Why do concentrate so much just upon the Ashes.

Do we seemingly care as much as other nations due to so many of our players originating from other countries.

Thoroughly well played to the Dutch though.
The loneliness of a long-distance cricketer 10:45am on 02 Apr 2009 As next winter's main tour is a lengthy one in the country of Pietersen's upbringing and where his family reside, it'll be intertesting to see how he reacts to what will be nearly three months of constant pressure in South Africa.
Strauss's nearly-men have work to do 2:06pm on 11 Mar 2009 With two overly cautious, negative declarations in Antigua and Trinidad probably costing England two test victories, am I alone in thinking that a full time appointment of Flower as coach wouldn't bode well for making the most of future match winning opportunities. And why oh why was a nightwatchman sent in to bat at the ARG when England were effectively 300-1 and needing quick runs.

Time for the following to take a season in county cricket to prove that they deserve to return as better players - Bell, Shah, Panesar & Harmison. Sidebottom needs to get fit and Rashid's not quite ready yet.

Good to see the Windies at last showing some backbone and they, rather than England, stood up at crucial times during the series.
Friday the 13th hits Antigua 9:30pm on 14 Feb 2009 At least the test will now be played at its right and proper ground in Antigua, the historic ARG. And long may test cricket continue at that location.

Consign the North Sound ground to the dustbin. Shame on the WICB.
An Antiguan day we won't forget 9:23pm on 14 Feb 2009 The WICB are wholly responsible for this farce. Whoever authorised building an out of town venue on the course of a river needs theri head examined. As for the efforts to get the Sir Viv outfield ready, they were simply a joke.

Thank goodness cricket has returned to the ARG, its spiritual home in Antigua. And may it please now stay there for good. Consign the Sir Viv for football or concerts and leave the ARG, with a few stands redeveloped, as the proper home of Antiguan cricket.
Dreamy darts at the Lakeside 10:17pm on 12 Jan 2009 Thoroughly enjoyed a riveting Lakeside final. Yes, undoubtably the best sporting event of the new year to date. Great stuff.

Irrespective of the eternal BDO/PDC wrangling all would agree that the Lakeside is THE spiritual home of darts.
