Martyn calls it a day

Well, didn’t see this one coming. 
Damien Martyn, who was often unpredictable with the bat, has made a surprising call by announcing his retirement from both international and domestic cricket. Martyn’s place was under heavy scrutiny after the second Test in Adelaide, but he took control of his future by informing Cricket Australia of his […]

Boofy Sayings - Final Day of Second Test (with Match updates)

The match is heading for a draw but lets see what Boony and Beefy are up to today.

Match Update: Yes, Got him! Strauss gone for 34 […]

Boofy Sayings - Day 4 of Second test (Plus match updates)

I had a quite day with Boony and Beefy (Boofy) but one thing I noted is that there default sayings have changed.

England dug deep today, deep into their reserves of […]

Pietersen should bat 4th and England can’t win!

Well that’s what Ian Chappell thinks. Listen to this interesting review of day 1 from CricInfo. I really am starting to like the reviews Ian is putting up at the moment.

Is this real Warnie or Big Warnie?

I pointed this out earlier in the week, but Shane Warne wrote about it also: 
Warne fired back at England coach Duncan Fletcher, claiming Fletcher was trying to prop up fragile egos with his provocative comments that the tourists had played the master leg-spinner “very, very well and positively” during their 277-run pounding in Brisbane.
