Are you an England fan? Do you listen to Test Match Special instead of watching the daemon that is Sky? Do you sometimes want to hear something a bit different? Don't mind if it's a little biased? Well maybe it's worth trying out Test Match Sofa, the alternative cricket commentary | Welcome to...

Former Kent cricketer Hugh Dinwiddy, the last first class cricketer to have played with Jack Hobbs and Don Bradman (I'm sure even Sylvester knows who they are) has died aged 97. Rest in Peace.

Welcome to Kev's Ashes Cricket Thread Thingy. This is the place to be if you are for some reason interested in how I am doing in Ashes Cricket. Of late I have been somewhat monopolising the "How are you doing in AC09 thread" so following on from my somewhat predictable Ashes victory I thought...

My favourite flash game of the moment Vogon Constructor Fleet Training For those not familiar with The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy you may not get the jokes, but then that's your own fault.

Just wondering does anyone else here use the calendar? At the start of the season here, I put all the county fixtures on it plus the England vs Australia tour dates. Did anyone find this useful and would you like me to keep it up?

Anyone here remember playing Elite? One of the first games with 3d graphics, one of the first open ended games - Elite has celebrated it's 25th anniversary. The original game was written for the BBC Micro, so if you remember playing it, like me, you are probably older than you want to be ;)

ECB reveals 2010 structure - Media Releases - About ECB - ECB - ECB Much of this was to be expected, but some surprising curve balls there. Championship stays as is T20 (or P20 as we are now supposed to call it) played on weekends in June and July with 2 regional groups. Bit disappointed that...

Is it just me? I'm having a problem using the Enhanced WYSIWYG interface here. If I try and quote a post, it ignores my post and says the message is too short and if I try and reply to a PM it just sends a blank quote back. I couldn't even change my sig until I switched. Normal WYSIWYG...

Did anyone catch this the other night on BBC2? If you didn't and you are interested in Cricket History, might be worth a look on iplayer. Programme 1 covered England. In the second programme (7th June 9pm) it's the West Indies.

The abject performance of the West Indies has lead me to wonder the following... Is it better to be too hot or too cold while playing cricket?? As an Englishman I'll choose too cold. At least you can do things to warm you up, extra jumpers, hand warmers, jumping up and down! On the minus...

Picture the scene... Your team is playing a one day match (lets say 50 overs). The opposition batted first and made a mammoth score. Your openers failed in reply, your middle order has failed. You are left with 1 decent batsman and the tail and you are way behind on the required rate. There...
