Well I did see some cricket at Edgbaston in the end after endless rain delays, and as you will all probably know by now there wasn’t a result. If I’m honest I went out of the ground thinking there had been a New Zealand win, and that kind of just summed up the poor communication that was received throughout the day. We weren’t informed enough of inspections, match rules (overs per bowler etc), and then we had the delay between innings but we still had a laugh (even though we paid full price for a match which turned out to see less than half of the overs paid for).

But we were entertained by Luke Wright, Dimi and Colly with the bat and NZ came to the party both then and in the game at Bristol on Saturday which at least means we can’t rest on our laurels for the rest of the series. The series against SA doesn’t seem that far away now and we’ll have to up our game to win those series.

Otherwise there has been plenty of Twenty20 action on Sky Sports which has been good viewing, although right now i couldn’t pick a winner as many sides seem to be able to raise their game on the odd occasion, but who will be able to carry it forward to the semi’s and final? We’ve had more ludicrous cricket politics coming out of India saying who will and won’t be able to play in the ‘Champions League’ – saying players which have played in the rebel IPL won’t be able to take part. I don’t care for cricket politics right now – it bores me and I have no interest in talking about who can and cannot play – just show me some cricket.

I often hit a point in the season where I get bored of playing and talking about cricket and I think that has come about now, hence why I havn’t updated the site for a week – anyone want to lighten the mood and write about something fun and related to cricket please drop me a line and I’ll publish the best!
