  Posted: January 29th, 2012, 2:07pm MST by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  "The power of the cricket-loving migrants is far greater than the power of the ICC" UAE flag by Alpak Listen to this episode of the Reverse Swept Radio podcast, where the hosts discuss the history of cricket in the United Arab Emirates, and Pakistan's role in it. Also, how will the future of cricket shape up in the UAE once Pakistan return home?  A very interesting podcast, which gives a lot of food for thought, and

  Pakistan - Make New From Old

  Posted: January 26th, 2012, 7:05am MST by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  Pakistan flag by Alpak With quiet joy I am observing the proceedings in the Pakistan camp. A lot of things have changed for the Pakistanis in the last year, the heart of their bowling unit got ripped out of the team, followed by loud Cassandra calls regarding Pakistan's future reputation and bowling stocks. The team has recovered from the blow in a remarkable fashion. Under the quiet and focused leadership of Misbah-ul-Haq, who leads the way he bats the way he looks

  Clonting, Parke And The Indian Riddle

  Posted: January 24th, 2012, 1:10pm MST by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  Good old times. Ponting and Clarke are revelling in their Cardiff memories like an old couple post retirement, enjoying the birds, the warm sunbeams, the neatly mown lawn around them, snacking some chocolates and stretching their old bones out on the garden bench, the awful modern Adelaide architecture posing the backdrop for their romantic reveries.  It has not been that long since both, and a few other members of the Australian Test side, absolutely dominated their tourists at will. Pakistan, always a worthy opponent, and the West Indies come to my mind. The warhorses in the batting line-up are still the

  'Stupid Stat Nobody Needs' Of The Day

  Posted: January 11th, 2012, 11:33pm MST by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  Hi guys, something completely offtopic today. I was listening to the latest OHOB podcast and they have a new feature called tea time teaser, which is nothing but a stats question asked at the end of the show and answered in the next one. Did you for example know that Mike Hussey has, since January 2008, scored the same amount of Test ducks as Chris Martin - twelve. One has to wonder, is this a defeat for The Muss or a victory for The Phantom? ^^  And the only player who has scored more, fourteen, is Mitchell Johnson.

  2011 - My Crappy Cricket Team Review

  Posted: January 2nd, 2012, 10:14pm MST by Wes playforcountrynotforself

  Disclaimer: This post entirely comprises of my unaltered and un-enhanced memories, the lack of research has been compensated by the inclusion of a lot of shitty English, and only the events my perforated brain deemed worth recalling found entry in this review. Your own memories will most likely be completely different, especially if you have a clue about cricket. Wes wishes all of her readers a Happy New Year :) AustraliaMadness. Manic laughter. Joy, tears, bipolar insanity. What started out as the longest public funeral in
