Rob Smyth

The unimprovable game

This World Cup classic was bursting with drama. Then it went and added a heap more

18-Mar-2019•Rob Smyth

Modern, authoritative, and 155 years old

As ever, the Wisden Almanack flies the flag for quality cricket writing

21-Apr-2018•Rob Smyth

The Adelaide horror

England were coasting one minute, in tatters the next: a look back at how Adelaide 2006 reduced Flintoff and Co to gibbering wrecks

01-Dec-2017•Rob Smyth

Imran's team or Misbah's: which was greater?

Each had to overcome very different hurdles from the other to become a top Test side

21-Sep-2016•Rob Smyth

Five of six

Massive, huge, monstrous - and did we mention really massive? Here's a handful of the biggest hits you've ever seen

01-Aug-2016•Rob Smyth

The English Aussie

Stuart Broad is one of England's finest. Yet he is baited abroad and only grudgingly admired back home

02-Dec-2015•Rob Smyth

In praise of Mighty Joe

Root has reached a pinnacle achieved by few Englishmen in modern times, and he has done it with a charming and infectious joy that belies his innate toughness

10-Aug-2015•Rob Smyth

Little epics

Not every great innings needs to be a big innings - as these five great sub-50 scores prove

02-Jul-2015•Rob Smyth

Must Buttler keep in all formats?

England could further exploit his worth as a batsman by relieving him of wicketkeeping duties in Tests

27-Jun-2015•Rob Smyth

Eight new balls, Boycs' go-extra-slow, Gower's stand-in bat

Plus debutant brothers, a man who paid for the honour of captaining England, champagne to celebrate a first wicket, and more fun Ashes facts

23-Jun-2015•Rob Smyth

'It's 1-1, you Aussie bastard'

Ten years ago, one of cricket's all-time great matches played itself out in Birmingham

01-Jun-2015•Rob Smyth

A deranged fearlessness

It's easy to think of him as a boorish oaf who makes easy runs. Not that David Warner gives a toss

03-Dec-2014•Rob Smyth

Time to pension off the seniors?

If England are going to win nothing, history suggests it might be worth their while to win nothing with kids

24-Jul-2014•Rob Smyth

The joy of selection roulette

The build-up to the Sri Lanka series has recalled the bad old days of inconsistent England selection - and provided some fantasy for fans once again

10-Jun-2014•Rob Smyth

Eoin Morgan's time is here

England are in a position where failure is nothing to be afraid of and they must realise his potential impact as an aggressor in the middle order

24-Jan-2014•Rob Smyth

The cult of Flower?

England's coach is so influential, you have to wonder if he has brought the role of football's all-powerful manager to cricket

18-Nov-2013•Rob Smyth

Broad's mighty challenge

Few England players in the modern era have been booed to the extent Broad will be. Will he rise to the occasion?

08-Nov-2013•Rob Smyth

What next for England?

They're playing fine cricket, but they're a way off the 2011 pace, and as the expectations pile up, their goals have been shrinking

14-Aug-2013•Rob Smyth

Is the leadership weighing heavy on Cook?

He has less than 100 runs in four Ashes innings - bringing to mind a number of England captains whose batting suffered when in charge

29-Jul-2013•Rob Smyth

Payback not so much fun after all

The balance between England and Australia changed at Lord's, when victory became a formality - the pursuit of a whitewash might be the only thing that stops the series descending into anti-climax
