The last time Monty Panesar was praised for his batting exploits he had managed to hold on in the first Ashes test in Cardiff last year and scored 7*. However Monty’s performance with the bat today is much different, and much more imp...(

England are through to the super eight stage but can consider themselves fortunate the rain came on a day in which our batsmen were far from the best.England’s openers were far from as explosive or impressive as they were yesterday. M...(

I was thinking earlier today about what a generic, predictable and plain boring name ’Deep Mid-Wicket’ is for the blog. I would like to call it something else, something more interesting but I don’t have any inspiration at...(

That wasn’t great, was it?Andrew Strauss faltered again. So did Cook, and I kind of wish Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen were in the South African side at the moment. In fact the only contribution worth noting was a 47 from Paul Co...(
