Can England really be that bad again?

As Senna the Soothsayer used to say in Up Pompeii , “Woe, woe, and thrice woe!” Except that she was usually wrong, whereas it is the only sensible reaction to England's dismal performance in the first Test against Pakistan, in Dubai.

The importance of Tremlett's scare factor

Tim Bresnan's injury is a big problem for England in only one respect: they lose their mascot

England aim at unfamiliar heights in unfamiliar conditions

It looks like I picked the wrong time to come back to Test cricket

Playing the long game

The India v England ODI series has seen the boot not just on the other foot, but planted firmly up England's backside

Horrible batting, good outcricket

England have at last managed to lose a cricket match , and a good thing too: it was getting monotonous

At last, Bopara and India perform

At last

The era of great bowlers is not over

For my birthday, my mother sent me a copy of “Not In My Day, Sir”, a collection of letters on cricket published in Britain's most traditional newspaper, the Daily Telegraph

A thank you letter

Dear Mr Strauss and Mr Dhoni,

Mission accomplished for Cook

Mission accomplished, and then some

Hail Mahela

The best sort of cricket match to watch is one which your team wins and your favourite player on the other side gets a hundred or a five-for

An extraordinary Cardiff ending

Before play started on the fifth day at Cardiff, I was thinking what a prosaic Test match it had been

25-Feb-2013•Mike Holmans

Steven Finn - new and improved

I had hoped for more from my first live match of the season, but I didn't even get three days because I couldn't be bothered to trek up to the ground to watch Middlesex knock off 54 runs to win on the third morning

Golden Goofs

Amid all the lists of top players, teams, innings and what have you of the World Cup, I haven't noticed any booby prizes being handed out, and that is a serious omission

25-Feb-2013•Mike Holmans

Six out of ten for England

At least they weren't embarrassing

25-Feb-2013•Mike Holmans

England win over West Indies a huge relief

When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping - so that's what I did.

25-Feb-2013•Mike Holmans

Anything but dull

The cricketing gods are merciless on those of us who pontificate about the game

25-Feb-2013•Mike Holmans

Let's hope the World Cup doesn't kill ODIs

I know we are all supposed to be terribly excited about the World Cup, but I am having some difficulty summoning up the enthusiasm

25-Feb-2013•Mike Holmans

The importance of coaches

The more I think about what went on in the Ashes, the more I appreciate what a brilliant job the England back-room crew did

25-Feb-2013•Mike Holmans

The burden of expectation

The failures of Harmison and Johnson are not entirely their fault: we the public are partly to blame too, because we invest our hopes in them and expect too high a rate of return, and they go broke trying to meet the payments we demand.
