Pakistan in England 2016 preview and prediction

Ever since Fazal Mahmood ran through England to land Pakistan an improbable victory at The Oval in 1954, there has always been intrigue around encounters between England and Pakistan. The encounters, generally, have been explosive, enthralling and controversial both on and off the field.

England’s ODI revolution is a lesson for us all

Rubel Hossain wheeled away into the Adelaide night sky, pursued with vigour by ecstatic team mates, coaching staff and cameramen eager to capture a slice of the moment. He had just splayed James Anderson’s stumps with a well-directed Yorker to confound England’s total humiliation at the 2015 IC

For whom the Bell tolls

Like all good things, it appears that Ian Bell’s England career is over. He was dropped for last winter’s tour of South Africa, but I refused to believe the end was nigh – he had, after all, been dropped before and managed to fight his way back. There have been few finer sights than Ian Bell in

Alastair Cook stands on the brink of greatness

36 runs are all that Alastair Cook needs to break into the modern batting elite by surpassing 10,000 Test runs. It is a statistical landmark that outlines a player’s longevity and class. Alastair Cook will stand alone as the only Englishman with more than 10,000 Test runs – joining an elite lis

James Anderson will clean up against Sri Lanka and Pakistan

The summer of 2016 is upon us. Next week, England’s Test series against Sri Lanka will commence at Headingley. With three Tests against an inexperienced side at the beginning of the summer, followed by four against Pakistan, James Anderson will be looking to make serious strides towards 500 c

Sri Lanka are on England’s Green and Pleasant Land to start the Test summer, although at first glance, it appears a little difficult to get over excited. I have a confession; I feel totally cricketed out after the winter. The shouldering of arms will make a welcome return to cricket with the c

Joe Root’s development continues at pace

Once the dust has settled on events in Kolkata last Sunday night, England will look back on the World T20 tournament as a whole and take a great many positives from it. The ability to chase and set huge totals now appears more likely with Alex Hales, Jason Roy and Jos Buttler in the line-up.

England unnervingly impressive

There was a moment in Delhi on Saturday where you could see exactly how far England have come since their World Cup exit against Bangladesh in March 2015. The direct run out from Ben Stokes was not the hardest you will ever see but it was one that England sides of the past would have missed.

Retaining interest in a tournament can be a little tricky when your team has been dumped out. Especially when your team is England and that team has crashed and burned, seemingly in a deliberate manner. With one game left, there is something of a self-loathing, lurid desire to see Afghanistan
