cricket all topsy turvy

July 13, 2008 – 1:01 pm

A topsy-turvy world for Miss Field: I had this idea to write a post about how England, upon having reached an impressive score, would launch their strategy, trialled in a previous match, of tripping batsmen over and running them out. This tactic would see them win for sure. And Vaughan would be responsible, so we [...]

the E group little sister

June 14, 2008 – 6:13 am

A blog by Miss Field: During my first year in high school someone in my year group decided to categorise all the lunchtime social groups and bestow each with a grading depending on perceived popularity and ‘coolness’. As an Australian, watching New Zealand lose to England is like watching your E group little sister attempt [...]

IPL – a guide for dummies

April 10, 2008 – 7:03 am

A blog by Sportsfreak: Like it or loathe it, the Indian Premier League is here, and is likely to dominate world cricket for at least 6 weeks every year for the foreseeable future. All the stars of world cricket will be there, except for the odd Englishman who may have been picked up, and it [...]

March 21, 2008 – 7:54 am

  A blog by Sportsfreak Hold on to your Easter eggs, something special is about to happen. A test series in New Zealand being decided with a third test (a rarity in itself) with the score tied at 1-1. In the history of test cricket in this country that has only happened twice before. And [...]

Darrell Hair and the bad jokes of doom

March 19, 2008 – 8:03 am

A blog by Miss Field It is hilarious that there exists this picture of a man whose name is Hair. The same man has been re-instated because he’s one rehabilitated umpire. So, no more accusing poor Pakistan of unspeakable things, let’s hope. I think it’s crap that certain umpires don’t get appointed to certain countries [...]

“I come hither to die…”

A blog by Miss Field A dolphin has guided two stranded whales to safety after human attempts to keep the animals off a New Zealand beach failed, a conservation official said. Unfortunately, the English cricket team do not have the same luck. Floundering in the water, flapping about and heading for the sandy shores of [...]

Woes and woefulness

March 3, 2008 – 7:16 am

A blog by Miss Field A team is only as good as its last game. Sadly, this doesn’t make us world champions. It makes us crap. “The bottom line was we didn’t get enough runs, we didn’t bowl well enough or field well enough.” – Ricky Ponting Correct. These three deficiencies pretty much cover the [...]

Kolkata Killer Kricketers

February 23, 2008 – 1:42 pm

A blog by Miss Field: AUSTRALIA I cannot find a name for the Kolkata IPL team. I have found the Bangalore Royal Challengers, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils and they’re three of the lamest team names I’ve ever come across (and I played sport at primary school, believe it or not). I am going [...]
