So NWG is just super busy, what with touring Canada and America and all and just hasn’t had a moment (what with all the dresses and hairstyling) to update. Apologies.And all of a sudden the ODI’s are over (don’t worry, NWG...(more)
Yes, NWG was there. Her first bit of live cricket since the Ashes (what memories).And she got there and it rained. So...She went home. Hung out. Watched TV.Then went back. Oh the dream of living so near the Oval.And so she watched England w...(more)
OK, so England lost. That’s not the point.NWG would like make several observations.1. Ian Bell has stubble.2. KP is going grey.3. Stuart Broad can give a good interview.NWG is surprised by two of the three.She didn’t realise Ian...(more)
Has anyone apart from NWG seen the photos of Shane?NWG is concerned for his gender.It seems a couple of months with Liz Hurley and a few botox injections changes a man....and not for the good.Cricketers are not supposed to age well. They...(more)

He’s a wild one. He knows no limits. He has tattoos. He has a ring that he won’t take off. He’s had blue hair. He’s had red hair. But can he bat?NWG knows she can’t be too harsh on him. After all, now she’...(more)

Now NWG doesn’t want to go on and on.But.........Today was a great day. England showed that not only did they bring the Ashes back with them from Oz. They also brought back some ruthless game-winning tactics.At least it wasn’t a...(more)
Ok. So NWG has been slightly absent of late. It’s been tough. She can’t lie.First there was the big wedding. Couple of billion people watching - it was no big deal.Then there was a massive reception which was slightly intimidati...(more)
Years ago, when cricket was a simple game, cricketers would stop playing ("I want to spend more time with my family") and move straight to TMS ("Sorry family") or Sky.Now Sky is full. TMS is full.Cricketers: There is no more room in the inn...(more)

And then there was none.Australia have lost their captain in the wash/on the train/down the back of the sofa and now they’re stuck with Michael ’I can bat honest’ Clarke.But NWG would like to take a moment to pay her respe...(more)
South Africa (England) beat South Africa (South Africa). And how South Africa (England) made NWG wait for it.Not the greatest of starts either by South Africa (England), but all’s well that ends well.NWG just has one topic she needs t...(more)
England lost. And then came the criticism.And no one thought to mention hair. And hair colour to be more precise.It is a known fact that dyeing one’s hair increases exponentially the chances of winning.Those who need to have pink/gree...(more)
So there was the Ashes. Then the ODI series. Then a break. Then the World Cup.NWG never thought she would say this, but there is just too much cricket.And now she’ll move on.First things first: the draw. Bravo Andrew Strauss. NWG knew...(more)
With all the excitement from the Ashes, and all the excitement as to how one team can go from being good to being really bad (and vice versa), NWG feels rather removed from the cricket.And so, like every English person in February, she look...(more)
Yes England won. Finally.And Jonathan Trott can bowl. Rather proficiently.England are just full of surprises today.

Poor Nathan. No sooner had he got chucked out of the team for no reason, replaced by a young spinner who didn’t seem to know what he was doing, who in turn got replaced by another guy who definitely didn’t know what he was doing...(more)
Graeme Swann has a "strangely deformed left knee cap."He’s out for two weeks.It all makes sense now. Only great cricketers have a deformity.Ricky Ponting: Deformed face which magnetically attracts cricket balls.Chris Tremlett: Deforme...(more)
Well, quite a lot has happened since NWG’s last post. Well, not that much, but Australia are winning again. And that’s not so bad. It makes it interesting again.NWG was kidding. She has not adopted the Australia of old mental st...(more)
OK. NWG is over the shock. She’s over the jubilation and joy. And now she’s basking in England’s glory. NWG would like to say she believed those people who said England would win 3-1. But she didn’t. She didn’t...(more)
Oh Paul,NWG thinks you rulel,Even when you couldn’t buy a run,You still got Hussey out,And that counts.England salutes you.

All NWG has to say is:She wants to be Shane Watson’s girlfriend.Mainly just for the ’oh no’ comment as he watched the ball go to the slips.But also, because obviously NWG is amazing and wonderful, he would want to marry he...(more)
