England’s Next Centurion: Jonny Bairstow

It was only last month we were celebrating Ben Stokes reaching 100 test matches – and now we’ve got another to add to England‘s collection! This morning, Jonny Bairstow became the 17th England player to reach the impressive milestone as England play the fifth test in the series against India. Bairstow started his test career for England against West Indies back at Lord’s in 2012, and heading into this final test against India is only 26 runs away from achieving 6,000 in his test career. It hasn’t been straightforward for... Read More

Neil Wagner Retires From International Cricket For New Zealand

New Zealand’s Neil Wagner has announced his retirement from international cricket. Wagner took 260 wickets in his test match career, making him the fifth-highest wicket taker in New Zealand’s history. He made his debut for the Kiwis in 2012, after emigrating from South Africa in 2008. The 37 year-old took the decision following his exclusion from the starting 11 against Australia in the upcoming test series. He will continue with first-class cricket both at home and overseas, but the pace bowler will no longer play for the international side, in... Read More

India vs. England: Can England Bounce Back?

Last time we spoke about this test match series, it was looking at England‘s miracle comeback to win in Hyderabad to lead the series 1-0. Since then, things haven’t gone the way of England, and ahead of the fourth test this coming Friday England now find themselves 2-1 down, including a loss by 434 runs in the third – the biggest in terms of number of runs in 90 years. Given India’s dominance in the last two matches (and to an extent the first match too), is there a way... Read More

Ton Up: Ben Stokes’ 100th Test Match

On Thursday, Ben Stokes will reach his 100th test match when he leads England out for the third test against India.

It was in just his second match against Australia in which he hit his first century for England, and he holds the record for most sixes hit in test match cricket – an incredible 128 of them!

Tougher Than Your Average Footballer!

We’re not one to throw shade on another sport (especially when we showed love to others literally yesterday), but… it is a bit silly when footballers throw themselves to the ground writhing in agony from the slightest tap in a tackle, right? Step up cricket players – and let’s be honest, there’s a reason they need the protective gear! Cricket’s a brilliant game but it does still come with its dangers – the ball, after all, is rather hefty in weight and can cause some damage if not careful (how... Read More
