Good pressure batsman are hard to find.  That is very true about KP , He can not afford to do a Flintoff like when the English came to Aus.  Flintoff batting went down the drain, He had too much pressure as a captain. You should play for Bangladesh they need a good pressure batsman, Got Aussies 5/198 and got out 9/123 the last batter was injured, I player scored over 50 runs. The can not take the pressure well and then all there batsman fall. It was a golden chance missed. I hope Monty P plays I love watching him play aswell as KP.  Hope the Ashes will be like the 2005 ashes. They were a cracker to watch.

Cutthorpes final in the Bassettlaw league final if over, and it ended with CAYTHORPE 2ND IX  beating Cutthorpe in their final game of the Bassetlaw season, before the Derbyshire side changed from a Nottingshire based League to the Derbyshire League.

Writing this myself, and being at the game and being a Cutthorpe player, it hurts me, its a nice cup final, but we hav too many cheifs and not enough indiains ( slang word for too many leaders, and not enough players)

On our day we should have won the game,, we even had 3 over sea players, one being a pro player, ( he looked awsome with the ball) too quick, but we wasnt good enough

Well done Caythorpe 2nds, You Are the CHAMPIONS!!

What do you think of the ICL taking and poaching Bangladesh players for money and making Bangladesh players retire so they can play in the ICL for money? ( Hope that makes sense)

Mashrafe Mortaza and Mohammed Ashraful had been approached my the ICL and they have been offered over two million to go play for three years on the contract of they can not play for the national side. They have both refused. Which is good to see.
