The format nowadays caught between two stools. A quick thrash with boring bits.
Sussex have had a difficult start to the season. Today they won, against Durham of all teams. And it was an efficient performance.
Suddenly, we will be viewing the winter tour of West Indies as a greater success having won the One Day series
Andrew Strauss has answered those critical of his place in the short-format team in the best way possible. First a century, and now an innings of 79 in just 61 balls.
Despite being shown the way by every other international team around the world for well over a decade, England still have no comprehension of how to approach one-day international cricket
It is perhaps indicative of the problems that cricket faces in England when one of the most promising young players, having recently broken into the team, lets themselves down by neglecting something as fundamental as fitness
A false dawn bred frustration bred despair bred a new (false?) dawn. That about sums up England’s summer exploits against South Africa.
