Giles has been promoted from England ODI/T20 coach to Sky's County Championship analyst.

Fitting punishment, I think.

 

[SpitfiresKent]

New ODI shirt looks sweet!

 

[MattW]

Seems an inspired choice of kit...

 

[Jine]

Colour of scotty.

KIT is looking good with black pants.

 

[Spickery]

I didn't think England were doing so badly that they wanted to be more like Scotland.

Chandika Hathurusingha to be Bangladesh coach | Bangladesh Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo

If he can replicate his work at NSW , Bangladesh will surely improve.

Interesting trivia: Bhuvneshwar Kumar's maiden wickets in T20Is, ODIs and Tests were all bowled. He is the first bowler with that record.

 

[Samuels]

Interesting, very interesting.

Statement from Kevin Pietersen MBE - News - Kevin Pietersen MBE - Professional Cricketer for Surrey

Brilliant reply from KP. Utterly unprofessional from ECB and Paul Downton.

How often are you allowed to change the official team jersey color/design? England seemed to be doing it quite frequently

Just wanted to share this video of a helmetless Ricky Ponting taking an 87 mph bouncer to the face pretty much unflinchingly.

Ouch! That's gotta hurt. But why the hell wasn't he wearing a helmet in the first place?

Did you see McCullum the other night top edge a ball straight into his grill? Can you imagine what kind of damage he would've sustained if he wasn't wearing a helmet?

Helmets should be worn at all time in my opinion, even against the spinners and when at the non strikers end.

Special circumstances applied - it was 51 degrees that day and if he wore a helmet he lost too much fluid to see straight, let alone score a Test hundred
