Sometimes in life, you take a stance that is guaranteed to backfire in a major way. Think Hitler invading the Soviet Union. Think Decca Records, who in 1962 rejected The Beatles, saying that “guitar groups are on the way out”.
Sepp Blatter has resigned, but what do FIFA do that the ICC can learn from?
To fully understand what Nathan Lyon has experienced throughout his career, let’s go back to the very start.
Welcome cricket fans to another instalment of who wants to be a Twitter star. With the 103 days of summer now over for England, and South Africa having kicked out Pakistan, we can now look forward to some decent cricket
Phil Hughes should consider getting a tattoo of Homer Simpson’s prophetic words of advice – “You tried your best and failed miserably. The lesson is: never try.”
2013 was a tumultuous year in Test cricket. The Ashes were retained then lost, South Africa confirmed its place as the best in the world, Zimbabwe won a match and greats retired in Sachin Tendulkar, Mike Hussey and Jacques Kallis.
During the latest Ashes series in Australia, a gentleman by the name of Dave Ticknor came up with the term #RootMaths.
So, Mr Umpire, perhaps you can talk us through what your role is these days… do you call no balls?
Nations have always had joy in claiming things from New Zealand as their own. Whether it be melodic Crowded House, the fiery Russell Crowe or Phar Lap, Australia have been very good at it.
Why deadly? Is there any reason grievous bodily harm needs to be part of your seriousness?

Brilliant Spiro!
Here’s my take on the same issue. I link to your piece.

Not like a bloke called “Watto” to sook publicly?
Rogue cricketer claims pink ball will be a success
It wasn’t meant to be funny.
It was meant to be a way of highlighting that the “pink ball is crap” argument is extremely premature.
We haven’t even played a Test with it yet.

Where’s your article Nick? Looking forward to reading your humour, wit and knowledge shine through.

The Roarers are a meek bunch compared to the comments I get when published in the Indian publications.
The Ashes: Third Test preview (of sorts)
You are defending the Anderson who pushed poor like Jadeja in the race?
Great bloke!
The one reason England can't win The Ashes
The premise that an article must be balanced in the eyes of all, or that it cannot take a firm view that is likely to cause debate is false.
If everyone agreed with my view, I’d be a very boring writer.
The one reason England can't win The Ashes
You miss the point re: Anderson. Sure he looks pretty. But it is ineffective. Siddle has a better Ashes average and Strike Rate than Anderson. He has a scarily similar overall test record too.
Anderson is hyped up because he swings it. You don’t win games by swinging it. You win games by taking wickets.
The one reason England can't win The Ashes
Anderson averages 38.23 in Ashes series over his career. His strike rate is almost 70. That’s awful

The pitch was a non issue. Media beat up
