Musing, rants and analysis on all things cricket. Requiem for a Dream Australian Cricket on the Second Anniversary of the Argus Review. How the West was Lost – Why did the WACA Really Lose its Crown? How do you Like Them Crab Apples? CSA’s Catch-22 With the BCCI. Cricinfo reported an (always) unnamed BCCI official as saying:. Seemingly nothing wrong with that right? Well, as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words and it is in their actions that the BCCI reveals its malevolent thirst for revenge.

Different Shades of Green: Old Pro
http://differentshadesofgreen.blogspot.com/2015/07/old-pro.html
Different Shades of Green. The Cheltenham College cricket ground is a very British type of idyll. Not the village green of a million rustic fantasies, but the epitome of the Victorian public school playing field. Flanked by the school's chapel, it is an arena born of the ideal of muscular christianity which the British, for good or ill, took to the world. Not very far away, on the other side of the Welsh border, England and Australia have spent the day locked in combat in the first of the summer's Ashes ...

Different Shades of Green: June 2014
http://differentshadesofgreen.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Different Shades of Green. A Very English Batsman. Despite his Australian upbringing (and the fact that he was crassly written off as a 'poor man's Nick Compton' by Bob Willis after his first Test appearance), Sam Robson cuts a figure which seems far from out of place at the top of the English order, with the result that he already radiates a curious sense of belonging. This grates a little. England may be more stable sans. Posted by Brian Carpenter. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Cricketer (July 2011).

Different Shades of Green: How to Do It (and how not to)
http://differentshadesofgreen.blogspot.com/2015/02/how-to-do-it-and-how-not-to.html
Different Shades of Green. How to Do It (and how not to). One of the more salient aspects of England's defeat to New Zealand was that, even in the alternative universe in which England win games like that, you simply couldn't imagine them doing it in that way. McCullum, that's why. How many bowlers would love to feel the type of confidence in them which such an approach represents? McCullum can bat, too. Posted by Brian Carpenter.

Different Shades of Green. Deaths come in different ways. Some are sudden, unexpected; others come after a long, slow fade from life's prime. To anyone who grew up in England at any time from the middle of the 1960s onwards and who was interested in cricket, Richie Benaud didn't just represent or evoke the game. As in his home country, he was. Posted by Brian Carpenter. Last week a cricketer retired. This happens all the time. Instead of 'why not? But perhaps most of all, the thing to take away is that, ...

Different Shades of Green: A Week in the Life
http://differentshadesofgreen.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-week-in-life.html
Different Shades of Green. A Week in the Life. The fact that in certain contexts - in politics, in sport, in life itself - a week is a long time, is an old and enduring aphorism. And, especially in the modern age, it is true, so true. Everything happens fast these days, even in cricket. Twenty20 innings are over in the blink of an eye, teams that for years have been the last word in constipated conservatism can change their very character in a few matches. Andy Mathieson knows all about this. This has be...

Different Shades of Green: April 2014
http://differentshadesofgreen.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Different Shades of Green. I recently wrote a review of the 2014 Wisden. For John Fuller's excellent Cricket Yorkshire. For anyone who didn't see it there, here it is:. I'm not sure that this is true any more, if indeed it ever was. Over its many years on the bookshelves of the world, Wisden. Has been admired, it has been revered, it has increasingly been fetishised. It has even, in some cases, been read. However, when all has been said, it is simply a book about cricket. The contemporary world of cricke...
