The Long Handle

Multiple choices of headgear, Mr Jayasuriya. Tsk tsk

Surely sudden movements by tiny bits of wood can't be distracting batsmen, can they?

If it's good enough for shirts, friends and duvets, why not for cricket?

He's not going to bore you with descriptions of what he bench-pressed or how much he ran today

There really is nothing like a good collapse, is there?

In which the good and the bad are sorted out from the ugly

If they get into spats every now and then, blame the hideous society we've created

Plenty of oddities in cricket point to the possibility of this god-only-knows how particle - like England being good at one-day cricket

We need new, more colourful description for balls that travel really fast

Includes the formation of a new planet, a scandal about Alastair Cook, and the ashes of the Ashes

Why the Sri Lanka captain needs to zip it

Is it working as well as it should? Ajinkya Rahane may disagree

Or, the secret of how to sack a player efficiently mid-tour

Because it's short, sharp, sexy and silly

A comprehensive list is drawn up by those in high office

It's all in the name, silly

Why the BCCI's argument about the DRS doesn't quite wash

You can't be in charge of a cricket team and also be human

The choice of Greek gods and Atlantisophiles

Sometimes that's the only way to get through these five-day thingies
