The fragile Ryan Harris stars as Mr Glass
31 Dec 2011There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Ryan Harris is a fantastic bowler. On playing ability alone, he deserves his call-up to the Australian squad for the SCG Test starting Tuesday. Harris is strong, zippy, swings the ball, and one time, I believe, he took four wickets with a single delivery. Unfortunately, his right [...]
Michael Hussey also in the firing line
13 Dec 2011The Australian batting line-up is currently as fragile as butterflies made of snowflakes. As pretty as that sounds, from an Australian perspective it makes for some ugly, albeit extremely engaging, Test cricket.

However I’m not comparing Warne to the title-winning, once-in-a-generation superstar Michael Jordan of Chicago Bulls vintage. I’m talking about the [...]
India feel at home sweet home
31 Oct 2011Cricket, as they say, is a funny game. By funny I’m guessing they mean funny as in weird, not funny as in “ha-ha”. And by weird I assume they mean there are a lot of unexplained things that can happen. But is it really that funny (peculiar) that the same two teams can engage in [...]
