Sorry I’ve not posted anything in a while but, to be brutally honest, I really haven’t been inspired to write. The performances of the England cricket team on this tour have been shocking. After each game I’ve struggled to come up with something positive to say but it’s nigh on impossible so rather than fill up posts with expletives, I’ve not said anything which I know isn’t the best approach for someone writing a site about cricket but there you go!

The good news (see? I told you I always try to come up with a positive) is that the tour will be over in two more games and we can put this last three months behind us and move on.

Where to? Well the World Cup, of course.

The fact is that no matter how badly we’ve played in Australia, as England cricket fans we have an inherent belief that we’ll do better next time and will tell all of our non cricketing friends that we have a chance of winning. It only takes a couple of decisions to go our way, one of our bowlers to hit a purple patch or KP to hit a big score and we could make the final and then it’s eleven men against eleven men. It’s anyones game. That’s what we’ll tell them.

Of course we won’t say anything of the sort to any of our cricketing friends. Oh no. That wouldn’t be right. It wouldn’t be..well..cricket.
