Shane Warne 'sends undies to cricketers'

Strewth!

"Shane Warne has revealed that he wants his ex-teammates to wear underwear from his new range.

The former cricketer [i thought he was still playing?], who recently teamed up with Diamond Cut International to design the Spinners collection, has been sending merchandise to fellow sports star Michael Clarke in the hope that he might wear them."

Most disgraceful moment in the history of cricket

Boo! The underarm incident. Of course this was the "most disgraceful moment" until KP's skunk hair-do.

Aussie culture!

Bonza!

Edgbaston gets Pak-Aus T20s

Australia will face Pakistan next year with the UK acting as the neutral venue. 2 T20 internationals will be held between the two sides at Edgbaston. The two tests will be held at Headingley and Lords's (but they are also getting one of the England-Bangladesh tests - does this mean they'll end up with 3 test matches in a year?!)

Brad Hogg Flipper

Ex-Bear overseas pro (and the best we've had recently in my view, though Chris Martin was also a legend) bowls the then-Zimbabwean batsman and now England coach!

Bring back Warnie!

Shane would have finished off the Poms.

Now that was an exciting draw

Being a watcher of Warwickshire first-class cricket i'm used to dull, grinding bore draws. So the nail biting finish to the first Ashes test nearly did me a mischief. Some draws can be exciting, though few involving the Bears. Lets not celebrate too much about the result as the Aussies outplayed the Poms with bat and ball, though ironically England are probably going to be on higher morale going into the Lords test compared to Australia.

Benaud to quit

The "Voice of cricket" Richie Benaud is to finally retire from commentary at the end of next year. He has already stopped working for the BBC and other non-Australian providers of course though continued working for Aussie TV but said he will quit at the end of next year and do "other things".
