James Brennan's entry into this year's Bald Archies. Pretty spot on, no? For the uninitiated, the Bald Archies is a satirical portrait competition, contrasting with the Archibald Prize. Maybe it's just not quite orange enough. -
A brief history of cricket in Afghanistan
Posted: February 10th, 2012, 1:40pm MST by Miss Field
As Afghanistan is embarking on their ODI against Pakistan as I type, I thought I’d have a look at how they’ve evolved, as I’ve heard conflicting stories.

There is something very special about a sporting event that commentators keep telling you is amazing. T20 cricket is a nice idea, and I really do believe it has a place in the game. However, what I don't need is the 15,000 tonnes of marketing hype and bullshit that administrators, marketing suits and commentators feel the need to bring into the concept. Between the Big Bash League describing certain teams as "rock stars" and Michael Slater doing everything but dropping to his knees and fellating David Warner during Australia's games versus India, as a cricket fan I'm actually...
