Bert’s back! Not that he’s got…..

Oh, you know.

No, where have YOU been?

Cheers. I had a look at Cricbuzz: it looks even more cluttered than Cricinfo, and probably more India-focussed. (The odds of me wanting to check on anything related to the Ipple are pretty low.) Still, might give it a try for the next international game that I’m interested in!

cricbuzz does ball-by-ball for a lot of games, not only international ones, I think, but also T20s. It’s pretty useful, but it only has international and IPL stats for players, which can be convenient, of course, on the one occasion you’re interested in some aspect of someone’s IPL stats.

We’ve already said this on Twitter, but even when you don’t agree with George on something, you can trust him to report fairly and to provide balance. His comment about ‘different journalistic values’ doesn’t therefore reflect well on Cricinfo. (Open to interpretation though. He hasn’t actually said how, specifically, he disagrees with them.)

Suggesting all might not be well there. On which note, does anyone know of any other sites that do international cricket ball-by-ball?

Oh God. We’re going to have to report on this, aren’t we?

Where the jeff have you been?

I guess we don’t know the head coach yet but when reading a headline that starts ‘Matthew Hayden and Vernon Philander…’ my brain didn’t exactly autocomplete ‘…to coach Pakistan’
