  • ECB / SCHOFIELD REPORT: Cricket Fans Offer No Excuses for Ashes Annihilation Submitted By: Parker Wayne & Kent Thursday, 24 May 2007
    ECB / SCHOFIELD REPORT: Cricket Fans Offer No Excuses For Ashes Annihilation Submitted by: Parker Wayne & Kent Thursday, 24 May 2007 "Poor performance" - plain and simple Fans dub Ashes "shoddyline series" at StickCricket.com The ECB's (England and Wales Cricket Board) report into the state of English cricket is published this afternoon (24/05/07). The real fans of cricket have conducted their own, alternative review of the disastrous 06/07 Ashes tour at StickCricket.com. Fans flooded the forums at StickCricket.com - the world's most popular online cricket game and the second most popular cricket website on the Internet - with their opinions why England were blown away by Australia in the Ashes. Cricket fans were asked "What's the principle reason England lost the Ashes?" More than three in five fans (62 per cent) felt that the Ashes series whitewash was simply down to England's "poor performance". Comments from the StickCricket.com fans' forum included:- "It's the players fault, they didn't perform!!" "England like to say Australia won the majority of the "key moments" but I'd put it more bluntly - England choked… And Adelaide Day 5 was one of the greatest chokes in Test history." "In the end the Aussies played well enough to win the Ashes back but the Poms played so poorly they basically handed them back on a silver frickin platter." While the England team were well below par, the fans were quick to acknowledge that Australia were an outstanding cricket team. "I wouldn't make up excuses because Australia are just one hell of a team." "Even if England had selected the right team, bowled well, suffered no injuries and kept from choking, Australia would've still beaten them.

  • NEWSLETTER No
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 307 - MARCH 2011 MEETINGS Wednesday 9 March 2011 – Meeting The speaker for this evening will be Geoff Cook who has enjoyed two distinct careers. The first was as a highly accomplished opening batsman for Northamptonshire who gained Test recognition. The second, of course, has been that of a highly influential figure in Durham‟s latent irresistible rise. GEOFFREY COOK was born in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire, on 9 October 1951. Educated at Middlesbrough High School, he became one of a number of men from the North East to migrate south to play county cricket. Those who played for Northamptonshire included Colin Milburn and Peter Willey. He made his Northants debut in 1971 and received his county cap in 1975, when he passed 1,000 runs in a season for the first time. He was to reach that landmark on twelve occasions, his best summer being 1981 – his first year as county captain – when he scored 1759 runs (avge. 43.97). He was chosen for the England tour to India and Sri Lanka in the following winter. Typically cultured centuries at Indore and Kandy took him into the England team for the inaugural Test against Sri Lanka at Colombo – an auspicious occasion on which to make a Test debut. He retained his place for the three Tests against India in the ensuing summer, making 66 at Old Trafford, during which he shared an opening stand of 106 with Chris Tavare, and 50 at The Oval. However, he then lost his place for the three Test series against Pakistan, as England experimented with Derek Randall in an opening batsman‟s role.
