I’m back following a very slack period, apologies. The Sunday Times has an article quoting former test umpire Peter Willey with his fears for Umpires future in the game. He has it in his mind that with the new referal system set to be introduced next month, the men in charge may forget how to [...]

“Brett Lee’s a wanker, Brett Lee’s a wanker!” Brett Lee hears it when ever he steps onto a New Zealand cricket ground. It shows that there is a rivalry between the two countrys and that the fans actually care about their own team, as well as respecting the players talent. But it seems that the [...]

I googled test match future and first thing up was an article on Cricbuzz.com. When I see the headline “Is Test cricket Dying?” I tend to get the feeling here comes another doom and gloom article, however i have stumbled upon my first positive spin.
