  Josh Taylor: My favourite game of 2011 – Zimbabwe v Bangladesh, Only Test

  Posted: December 23rd, 2011, 4:28pm MST by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  There was perhaps a question over height. However, there was never a question over whether or not Kyle Jarvis deserved his fourth wicket of the innings. Umpire Dhamasena raised his finger to trigger celebrations on the pitch and amongst those who had come to watch. Never before had a contest between the 9th and nominally 10th ranked test teams carried so much significance. Following five and a half years in a self-imposed exile for reasons not entirely cricket related, Zimbabwe returned to test cricket under the guidance of Alan Butcher and with a young, highly talented captain

  Australia v New Zealand At Hobart: Who Let The Doug Out?

  Posted: December 12th, 2011, 2:04pm MST by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  Hobart, day 4 Kiwis, you've stunned me!!! Congratulations, back pats and hair tousles on your most important Test victory in 20 years. Coming to Hobart New Zealand found familiar conditions and exploited them to maximum benefit. A fair while ago, when thinking about my favourite grounds, Hobart seamed (haha pun!) to me like a natural extension to the row of New Zealand cricket grounds, not just for its picturesque seasidishness but also for providing conditions that more often than not

  Australia v New Zealand Round 1: New Faces, Old Story

  Posted: December 4th, 2011, 10:10am MST by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  Lessons from this match: All hail the brave Lyon king rawwwwrrrrr, 7 for 88 in his first Test on home soil is not bad for an offie with just a dozen or so First Class matches under his belt. Michael Clarke is in stellar form, and loves Nathan Lyon, too. It is overwhelming to see the amount of appreciation, which the hesitantly welcomed Canberra boy is beginning to receive. The Redbacks, who plucked him off the heavy roller's seat and chucked him into the Big Bash arena with stunning results, have ironically lost him to

  Cricket On The 1st Of December

  Posted: December 1st, 2011, 2:15pm MST by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  Germany WK-batsman Kashif Mahmood supports Bayern München. Poor bloke must have been hit on the helmet pretty often. India aren't playing. I am endlessly sad and aggrieved. The Harbhajan Singh bashwagon has inevitably come to a halt. And with Surrey signing Murali Kartik an ambassador from the land of the roaming moos is once again going to be a pain in the butt of a team I support (Middlesex in this case). South Africa are hibernating for another couple of weeks. Sleep won't come though. As soon as they close their eyes a bright
