On Spot Fixing In The IPL
17 May 2013 | 1:59 amThere are several well written commentaries on the revelations about spot fixing in the IPL. In this post, I will take a more skeptical view of the morality play that we have seen in the last 24 hours. Expressions of shock and devastation from Rahul Dravid and others, wall to wall coverage on cable news (jostling with an story involving Sanjay Dutt returning to prison), discussions about "education" (as if taking money from illegal bookies in return for doing something crazy like bowling badly is some complex ethical grey area!), and the standard quota of blame that is reserved for… -
On The Figure Of The Cricket Geek
14 May 2013 | 10:33 pmWhen I was in school, there was this perennial distrust of the "scholar". The "scholar" was the kid who actually bothered to study. It was cool to make fun of this person. Even kids who did reasonably well in school tried hard to play down their scholarship by doing things like sitting in the back of the class and generally making a nuisance of themselves. Taking school work seriously was seen as a sign of elitism. Read more » -
DRS, ICC Cricket Committee, And Siva's Election
8 May 2013 | 3:07 pmIn the aftermath of the apparently controversial election of L Sivaramakrishnan to the ICC's Cricket Committee, Cricinfo has published an FAQ about the Cricket Committee. Neil Manthorp reported that there were two votes for the position, the second one was necessary because the first one elected Tim May. He also suggests that this maybe because BCCI is unhappy with the ICC's attitude to DRS. My post here is concerned with one question on Cricinfo's FAQ and the relationship between this controversial vote and the future of DRS. This is important because I think there is reason to… -
T20 Is Not Cricket, Neither Is IPL, On Couch Talk
7 May 2013 | 11:26 amSubash invited me on Couch Talk to discuss T20 Cricket and the IPL this week. This is the third time I've been on Subash's show. The interview ended up being focused on the matter of T20 not being cricket. It didn't get into the IPL much, and several things which easily belong in a reflection on what T20 is and isn't, and what the IPL is and isn't - such as the IPL's attitude to women viewers, women presenters, women cheerleaders - as a group with a decidedly second class status, its claims about nurturing talent and its intrusion on the international calendar, to name just three, did not…

Won’t Get Fooled Again
18 May 2013 | 9:12 amI’ll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday And I’ll get on my knees and pray We don’t get fooled again Don’t get fooled again Won’t Get Fooled Again (Pete Townshend) The Who, 1971 I was born in 1957. Which meant that most of my growing up happened in the Sixties and Seventies: my taste in music, as some of you no doubt have figured out, is deeply influenced by the musicians of the time. As I grow older, my appreciation for that privilege grows. -

Love the song, but I suspect the phrase is a bit dated. If I used it in front of my kids, I’m convinced I’ll get their special “Can-we-pretend-he’s-not-with-us?” look. So I won’t use the phrase in front of them. Children. You know something? Apparently chillies have no such reservations. They’ve been happily picking up good vibrations from neighbouring plants for millennia. Or so…

What Shane Really Means is.....
2 May 2013 | 11:12 amShane Warne, most helpfully, has written an article for The Telegraph detailing how brilliant the Australian selectors have been in their choices for the Ashes 2013. You will notice that in bolded brackets, NWG has added in her own two cents. And these are probably not worth their weight in gold, but still, they might be revealing what's really going on.'The selectors have copped a lot of criticism in recent times [mainly from Shane, let's be honest] and rightly so because they picked some ordinary teams[you have to work with what you've got, Shane] but they have done well with… -
And On She Goes
18 Jan 2013 | 10:44 amNWG knows she goes on about Australia a lot. She appreciates that sometimes it must get a bit mundane.But being bowled out for 74 just makes NWG happy.She can't help it.And yes, she knows it will one day come and bite her. -
Snakes In A Pool
14 Jan 2013 | 11:20 amAt least one thing is for certain. The England team are a bunch of wimps.Stuart Meaker was the first to spot the (harmless) sea snake in their (most likely) luxury hotel pool."Eeek," he screamed (NWG imagines). "There's something wiggly in the pool. Help me."Eoin Morgan declared he's safer in the bath.NWG thinks they all need to be a bit braver.NWG imagines this was the actual size of the offending creature.And you know what they say: they are more frightened of you than you are of it. -
India v England ODI
12 Jan 2013 | 2:30 amSamit Patel seems to NWG an underrated England player. Always on the fringe. First to be dropped. Angers the naughty Stuart Broad if he dare drop a catch.But yesterday he showed that he should be considered. 44 off 20 in a finish with Kieswetter impressed NWG, not least because she loves a late flourish.England have "rested" Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann and James Anderson because of what awaits this year and it seems, in this instance, that that is just fine by James Tredwell and Jade Dernbach.Stuart think, 'maybe I'm not as good as I think I am....' -
All Is Forgiven?
9 Jan 2013 | 2:34 pmNow, NWG is a truthful person. She doesn't like liars. She doesn't like cheaters.She likes to know where she stands.She likes to think that people want to be truthful. That they want to be good. That they mean what they say.And then KP came along.Now NWG likes to think that people want to change for the better, but she can't quite believe in KP.England have handed him a (nother) central contract now that he remembers how to score runs and play nice.But for how long will it stay like this?NWG gives it till January 2014, just till after the Ashes and he decides to start texting again...KP - NWG…
