Cricket Odds: Grieving Aussies Ready To Take On India

December 11th, 2014 by G Waldorf

There has been a note of terrible tragedy in Australian cricket since the loss of Philip Hughes, to the Australian team, to the game, and worst of all to his friends and family. Obviously, the thoughts of many have been on the best way to honour his memory – and at least for some of his friends, an opportunity for a fitting testimonial is already here: Australia meet India in the first Test of a four-Test series this week, and the Cricket odds are telling us that it’s the men in baggy greens who are the favourites to win the opener.

Obviously, the past two weeks have Read the rest of this entry »

England vs Australia: The Momentum Is Still With Australia

January 15th, 2014 by G Waldorf

It’s still all going Michael Clarke’s way. At the half-way point in the first ODI at the MCG, it looked as though England may have been able to rally from their Test series defeat and, with the help of some young, developing talent and a few ODI specialists, finally post a competitive total. But it wasn’t to be. In truth, things didn’t Read the rest of this entry »

England vs Australia: First ODI

January 10th, 2014 by G Waldorf

You couldn’t have a couple of teams in two more different places. Alistair Cook’s England will be lacking confidence, to say the least, going into an ODI series so soon on the back of a 5-0 Ashes series result. We’ve yet to see what the look of the Read the rest of this entry »

The Ashes: 5-0 To Australia!

January 7th, 2014 by G Waldorf

If there were scriptwriters for this Ashes series, they were Australian. The series couldn’t have ended in a better way for the hosts. It was a thumping 281-run victory that came on Jane McGrath Day – day 3 at the SCG – after Aussie skipper Michael Clarke held on at second slip. And it was fitting that Read the rest of this entry »

The Ashes: The Whitewash Is On!

January 3rd, 2014 by G Waldorf

The Ashes roadshow comes to Sydney for the fifth and final Test today, and Australian captain Michael Clarke finds himself in a place he might not even have dared to dream about after the tour of England in the winter. The Aussies are on the verge of an incredible – and it has to be said unlikely – 5-0 series victory. Can Clarke’s men manage the final hurdle at the SCG? Or will it be the English who finish a disappointing tour on a high note?

There are a few pieces of business left to Read the rest of this entry »

The Ashes: It’s Sydney For The Final Test

January 2nd, 2014 by G Waldorf

We’ve spoken about the difficult situation England’s captain Alistair Cook finds himself in on this tour to Australia, and his life doesn’t seem to be getting any easier. The last Test in Sydney looms large, and Cook will be wishing he had more time to rally his soundly beaten side for a last effort at the SCG. He hasn’t been helped by some high-profile departures from the English side, of course, but Read the rest of this entry »

The Ashes: Australian Bowlers

December 24th, 2013 by G Waldorf

It’s amazing the difference pace makes. If you’ve been watching any of the Ashes coverage, you will have seen at least one analyst’s segment on just how that extra bit of pace on the ball has been affecting the English batsmen. You don’t need to be too technical: the hurry-up has forced them to Read the rest of this entry »

The Ashes: Where To Now For England?

December 22nd, 2013 by G Waldorf

Both captains celebrated their 100th Test appearances at the WACA, but Alistair Cook and Michael Clarke had very different experiences in Perth, and they will go away with starkly contrasting memories. They go away with different problems, too. Clarke heads to Melbourne with all the best problems in the world. With the Ashes regained, Clarke and Darren Lehman face Read the rest of this entry »

The Ashes: Australian Batsmen

December 20th, 2013 by G Waldorf

All the focus seems like it has been on the Aussie bowlers in their successful recapturing of the littlest trophy in sport, and if you look at the headlines, then you’d be forgiven for thinking that it has all been about searing pace and steepling bounce. And, in fairness, Mitchell Johnson has been outstanding – and Read the rest of this entry »

The Ashes Regained!

December 18th, 2013 by G Waldorf

What an Ashes series! The little urn is making its way to these shores as we write this, but Australia have been so dominant in the three Tests so far that they will have their sights on a whitewash that seemed pretty unlikely when the tourists first arrived in Australia.

But while it has been a story of Read the rest of this entry »
