    Afghanistan start their first ever test today at Bangalore.

    One of the most inspiring stories in sport I reckon. Only just over a decade since their national team first played a game at any level and now they're at the big table - albeit feeding off scraps

    Go the Ghans

    Watch the highlights above of the innings.

    Either the Irish Wicket Keeper is hard as nails or knew that there wouldn't be many balls going through to her. Either way, tough!

    Central Districts not offering Jesse a contract for next season.

    According to my quick look at Cricinfo, last year he scored 6th most runs in the Plunket Shield 640@71.

    10th most runs in Ford Trophy (List A) 294@42

    7th most in Super Smash 255@25

    @dogmeat They certainly went! 🙂

    Lasted just under 28 overs in their first innings and 38 overs in their second.

    On the plus side for the Afghans, we've sustained at least two heavier defeats. 🙂

    So this just happened.
    English just smashed and stomped on the Aussie’s in the latest ODI
    Scored 481, four hundred and fucking eighty one!
    No surprise Australia couldn’t pull it off

    That has given me a horrible mental picture of @MN5 slumped over his keyboard in a post self-abuse stupor.

    Could a NZ South Africans XI beat the rest of the Black Caps?

    Could a NZ South Africans XI beat the rest of the Black Caps?

    The number of South African born cricketers contracted in New Zealand has now cracked the required number for a full team.

    Annual Bramble Bank cricket match in middle of Solent

    Tony Greig's pitch report would have been interesting!

    alt text

    The annual Bramble Bank cricket match took place in the middle of the Solent in the early hours of Sunday 15th July. The sandbank near Cowes, off the Isle of Wight becomes visible once a year at the lowest tide. The event has been taking place since the 1950s. This year the Royal Southern Yacht Club from Hamble and the Island Sailing Club from Cowes gathered for the game along with a number of spectators who also braved the tide.

    alt text

    As usual, play stopped when the water came in. The Hamble side won with help of the England cricketer, Stuart Broad. He said it had been "... the most unique game of cricket I have ever been a part of. It’s fantastic to see cricket bringing local communities together to play the sport we all love in such a quirky location.”
