| Cricket Women's World Cup | | (Thoughts On The Group Stages) | | 07 February 2013 | | | A few thoughts at the half-way stage of the 2013 Women's World Cup. | | More... |
| Women In Men's Cricket | | (And how SJT is being set up for a fall.) | | 15 January 2013 | | Unlike most of the people commenting on this subject, I've actually watched a fair bit of women's cricket; and one game in particular sticks in the memory.
In summer 2012, I watched the MCC Young Cricketers (the women's equivalent of the England Lions) play a double-header of T20 games at Wokingham CC. The YCs included Sarah Taylor - widely recognised as the best female cricketer in the world right now; and possibly ever. | | More... |
| La Oreja de van Gogh, Amaia Montero | | (And... Andrew Ridgley?) | | 01 December 2008 | | When a band's iconic lead singer "goes solo" in search of more money artistic freedom, it rarely ends well for both the singer and the musicians he or she leaves behind. In fact, we can think of only two genuine examples where both have prospered, and one of them is Genesis, so we are taking a very loose definition of the term "prospered"! (The other being Van Halen.)
So when Amaia Montero announced that she was leaving La Oreja de van Gogh, we understood that there was only ever likely to be ONE George Michael in this divorce.
