sehwag in a wool cap
cricket with balls —
I have just finished watching Sehwag make his hundred, via highlights. Editors have not yet worked out that for Sehwag highlights are not required, he is highlights. Every ball he faces should be shown. But overlooking poor judgement from editors, what a knock. Poor Mendis was fucked so hard he was left bleeding from his ear. Murali was dismissed as a club bowler. And Herath’s magical new ball was hoicked without a care in the world. The best thing about the innings had to be Sehwag batting in a proper woolen cap. What a sight that was. I think I sighed. Watching him swing the ball to all parts is always a religious experience, but with the cap on it took it to a new level. I thought Dilshan, is padawan ...

Gideon did one, Athers did one, and even the ECB did one. But the Ashes couldn’t possibly be dealt with correctly until I stepped in. So I have. Cricket with balls is happy to present, ashes 2009: when freddie became jesus . when freddie became jesus Available now on Amazon . On the back of the book it says: “He’s such a pleasure to watch that if I were a mad billionaire who hosted parties that people came to just because there was a lot of booze and freaky shit going on, I’d hire Ian Bell, strip him naked, oil him up and make him practise his cover drive for hours on end in a giant birdcage. Test cricket, though, isn’t that simple.” So says Jarrod Kimber, who goes where other cricket ...

weakness
cricket with balls —
Phil Hughes has never gone out to a short ball off his gloves or any real variation of the ball that is his weakness at test match cricket. Shane Watson has gone out LBW 6 out of his last 7 test innings, and has also gone out after a break 4 times during that period. Who has the weakness? Watson has a vastly superior looking technique than Hughes’ technique of looking like he is a glass doll being dropped from the second floor. But Watson’s test average can’t even look up at Hughes’ average. Watson has no test century, since coming in as opener he is yet to take a wicket in three tests, and keeps going out the same way. Phil Hughes must be beside himself, and beside himself there must be Chris Rogers and Phil ...

Australia Had their professional hats on. Other than Katich everyone looked a little scratchy, but there are mouths to feed, so they still got the job done. They would have hoped for better. West Indies Got to bowl on a wicket that gave them some assistance and did well at times. At the end of the day their best bowler hardly bowled, but they dropped Hussey and Katich at bad times, chose not to send Ponting for a referral, and may not get a better chance than this. Who is in front Australia at over 300 with half their men down, against a team as ropey as this they would feel comfortable. The Windies only need two wickets to be well into the tail and can bowl Australia out for under 400, which is good ...
UJ writes another book
The Cricket Watcher's Journal —
Uncle J rod is known to all who come here. I presume so. When Freddie Became Jesus is the second book to have originated from the wonderful balls of that cricket. If we recall, this is the second book he has written, the first being perhaps an anthology of his blog posts. In a technical sort of way this is perhaps his first. A few years ago, I had promised UJ I'd invest in his first book as and when he wrote it. Now let us await the release of this book in India. I didn't come across his first book in three cities ...
