Edgbaston 'aura' can lift England 4:51pm on 30 Jul 2009 splendid sparrow

In England (and for God's sake now Wales) we prefer to play Test matches in grounds smaller than Brentford FC holding less than 20,000 people and then charge spectators a King's ransom to attend. Of course we need decent stadia with proper facilties. Ask Messrs Clarke and Collier what they are doing about it. Probably planning a Test in Taunton...
Edgbaston 'aura' can lift England 2:12pm on 30 Jul 2009 The most inane slogan in sport:

"It matters more when there's money on it".

No it doesn't - ever!
Edgbaston 'aura' can lift England 10:47am on 30 Jul 2009 "Birmingham was a miserable, desolate place on Wednesday."

er...Yes! And your point is...???
A nation holds its breath for Flintoff 08:12am on 07 Jul 2009 Trego. Averages 36 in First Class Cricket. Decent County Player... Test material? Doubtful...
England World Twenty20 player ratings 00:02am on 16 Jun 2009 Foster was excellent. I am a big fan of Prior but doubt that he would have been as good behind the stumps as Foster. Is there a case for picking our best keeper for the Ashes - I think that there may be. And that would be Foster...
Tell us your favourite Ashes moments 8:15pm on 07 May 2009 1953 The Oval

Johnners "It's The Ashes!". Black and White 9inch TV. One of my earliest cricket memories - and still one of the best.
Lahore attacks shock England players 3:31pm on 04 Mar 2009 "Lahore attacks shock England players"

This is a STORY? A bit like "Next week to have seven days in it" or "Bears prefer woods for defecation"

Of course, like any sentient being, the England players are shocked by the attacks. But neither the headline nor the story adds anything to what we know or could assume. Just blogging Diarrhoea . Take an Imodium Adam if you haven't any real stores to tell...
Ivan's death 4:57pm on 25 Feb 2009 Cameron, like Brown, is a public figure and when a very private and personal event occurs it is actually quite right that the event is reported and commented upon. But in truth there is not a lot that most of us can say. My guess (and it is of course only a guess) is that the Prime Minister has phoned David Cameron to offer his personal sympathy and that Cameron, knowing that Brown was similarly once so bereaved, appreciated this. But that conversation was private - and from now on the Camerons should be allowed to have moments in absolute privacy - and all the blogging and reporting should cease.
Windies triumph delights Bolt 12:56pm on 10 Feb 2009 It is I suppose inevitable that amateur bloggers and professional hacks alike seem to be concentrating on selection matters. But England's problems are endemic and with the glorious exception of 2005, there has been continual underperformance for a very long time.

It is the structure of English cricket and the woefullly inadequacy of English (ECB and counties) cricket administrators that is the problem, not the players. Time to lay off Bell and Monty and Cook and Harmy and the rest of the strugglers. Address complaints to the "ECB, Lord's Cricket Ground". Not that they'll take a blind bit of notice!
Windies triumph delights Bolt 7:31pm on 08 Feb 2009 Why click on the link? Because it is from the Producer of TMS and it is reasonable to have thought that it might be a cricket piece not a "I met the Olympic Champion" boast. As I said - please stick to the cricket - isn't there enough from Sabina Park not to need to go chasing celebs for copy?
