Flintoff was man of the match at Lord’s when England won the second test in July and was the man of the series when England won the Ashes in 2005 for the first time in 18 years. “For a big game like this it’s a massive boost to have him in the side,” Strauss added. “It’s the perfect story. It’s his last game so he can be completely motivated, the script is written perfectly and that is really exciting. “He can lift the crowd and other players in the dressing room with his performances but we won’t win the game without all the guys standing up to be counted as well.” While England must take a positive approach into the game, as Australia would retain the Ashes with a drawn series, Strauss was mindful that the team remain focused on the game rather than the out- come and the emotion of the occasion. “I’m absolutely certain that we are going to play well this week,” said Strauss, after England was beaten within three days at Headingley. “I’ve got no doubt about it. The Oval wicket is a great cricket wicket that rewards positive batting, positive bowling and it brings the spinners into the game as well. “The crowd will get behind us and the guys will go out with the right frame of mind and enjoy their cricket. Pressure is only something you put on yourself, so that is not something that is going to be preoccu- pying us.” South African-born debutant Jonathan Trott, selected in place of the underper- forming Ravi Bopara, will bat at five with Paul Collingwood moving to four, Strauss said.

  • Cricket, Diaspora, Hybridity and Divided Loyalties Amongst British Asians
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Leeds Beckett Repository “Who do ‘they’ cheer for?” Cricket, diaspora, hybridity and divided loyalties amongst British Asians Dr Thomas Fletcher Carnegie Faculty for Sport Leisure and Education Leeds Metropolitan University [email protected] This article explores the relationship between British Asians’ sense of nationhood, citizenship, ethnicity and some of their manifestations in relation to sports fandom: specifically in terms of how cricket is used as a means of articulating diasporic British Asian identities. I place Norman Tebbit’s ‘cricket test’ at the forefront of this article to tease out the complexities of being British Asian in terms of supporting the English national cricket team. The first part of the article locates Tebbit’s ‘cricket test’ within the wider discourse of multiculturalism. The analysis then moves to focus on the discourse of sports fandom and the concept of ‘home team advantage’. I argue that sports venues represent significant sites for nationalist and cultural expression due to their connection with national history. I highlight how supporting ‘Anyone but England’, thereby rejecting ethnically exclusive notions of ‘Englishness’ and ‘Britishness’, continues to be a definer of British Asians’ cultural identities. The final section situates these trends within the discourse of hybridity and argues that sporting allegiances are often separate from considerations of national identity and citizenship. Rather than placing British Asians in an either/or situation, viewing British ‘Asianness’ in hybrid terms enables them to celebrate their traditions and histories, whilst also being proud of their British citizenship.

'Sledging is a clear example of inter-player maltreatment in sport that can pose a significant threat to the well-being of the individual' Keith D. Parry, a lecturer in Sport Management and Emma Kavanagh, a lecturer in Sports Psychology and Coaching Sciences 'On the pitch, it's pretty much a war, isn't it? There are always going to be a few words, and I think that's pretty much how people want to watch cricket being played' The captain of the English team, Alastair Cook The issue at a glance On November 25, 2013, the captain of the Australian cricket team, Michael Clarke, was fined 20 percent of his match fee after having been detected sledging during the final day of the first Ashes Test. The stump microphone picked up Clarke threatening English bowler and lower order batsman James Anderson with 'Get ready for a broken f***ing arm. Two days before Australian batsman, David Warner, had said of English batsman Jonathan Trott that he was 'pretty weak'. Trott later withdrew from the Ashes competition and return to England after it was revealed that he was suffering from a stress-related disorder. Though there is no suggestion that Warner's comment caused Trott's condition the two episodes have lead to renewed debate that about the extent of sledging in cricket, the harm it causes and whether stronger action should be taken against it.
