Gayle tests Bailey's smile

It was a breezy night in Colombo; the smoke should have cleared from the ground. It didn't. The Australians were forced to play perpetually under this hazy cloud of doom

Afghanistan are professional cricketers, don't forget

The story of Afghanistan cricket is absolutely amazing. It's got a book, a documentary, and is mentioned in almost every article about them

Minnows no more

When an Australian fielder leans in to talk, there is a good chance a batsman is getting some flak

Previously at the World T20

People like the World Twenty20. It's short, no one cares much, there will be another one soon, and Afghanistan plays in it

Vince knock lights up Sky

When I first came to the UK, I thought Liam Dawson was going to be the next big thing in English cricket

Strauss' over-achievement

When England travelled to New Zealand for the 2007/08 tour, I didn't realise that Andrew Strauss was on his way out

Spirit of cricket invoked too easily

Imagine your favourite player was on 70. It's a flat pitch. The bowlers are tired. The batsman is flying. And a hundred is certainly on the cards

Tahir embodies new South Africa

Imran Tahir appeared in front of me as an Alice-band wearing back-of-the-hand magician. Prancing around county cricket making batsmen look like complete idiots

Morne Morkel and the age of the hippo

Morne Morkel has always interested me. There's something about him that makes me think Boris Karloff would have loved to play him in a film

No winners after loss of trust

It's a shame, that at least for the short term, the ECB and Kevin Pietersen aren't together anymore. They do seem to deserve each other right now

Don't rob us all of KP

Recently I heard Michael Holding say players are children and boards are parents. It was about the disastrous relationship the WICB have with their senior players

Ian Bell and the naked truth

There was a time when I thought that instead of playing Test Cricket; Ian Bell should be oiled up, naked and playing his cover drive in a giant birdcage at parties

Unexpected bullies must finish the job

South African sort of tripped, fell, hurt themselves and had other things on their minds as the first Test started.

Ravi and the Dragon

Ravi Bopara may have just been slain by the dragon. Not the giant lizard thing, but the term some cricketers use for a drag on (see what they did there?)

Time to offer Amla some cheesecake

I've not been inside Jonathan Trott's head for the last two days, but I bet he's had more than one nightmare in that time. You know the nightmare

Cricket, the England way

Unlike Australia or West Indies of previous generations, England's style is not that of domination or brutality. England do what English cricket teams have done since cricket was first civilized

Australia sleeps through Bailey's best

When George Bailey came to the crease batting at No 7 in a rain-affected match in a series that Australia had already been smashed in, while most Aussies were tucked under their doonas

The 'Rashes' effect

If you listen intently you can almost hear the hum of a huge Test series coming up. That is if you have an ear trumpet and it's aimed at Somerset this week

Australia no longer a top-class ODI team

Like all Australians, my proudest day was back on October 5 in 2009. It was the day when Australia proudly sported their white jackets as the victors of the most important prize in cricket, the Champion's Trophy

Smith gamble fails to pay

Steve Smith is barely 23 years old and he's already a relic of another era. He is the last of Andrew Hilditch's big Ashes gambles
