Patrolling the Boundary – a view from the outfield
Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack
Last week my good friend Dennis Freedman of Can’t Bowl Can’t Throw fame wrote an article for First Post taking a swipe at English cricket’s Bible.
The whole of England probably hasn’t felt as sullied by an Australian since former Prime Minister Paul Keating wrapped his arm around Her Majesty the Queen.
You can read my response to Dennis’ piece on the pages of First Post here.

When the Sawdust Settles – match reviews
The 2016 ICC World T20 tournament
For First Post during the T20 World Cup I will be covering and reporting on the West Indies.
On Wednesday, WIndies overcame England in their opening game of the tournament – and their success was built around the latest whirlwind century by the phenomenal Chris Gayle.
If the other teams in the competition are to stop West Indies winning it, then they must first stop Gayle.
But Gayle is only one of eleven match-winners in the WIndies side.
And there are several more articles regarding the tournament, and features on many of the other sides here.

Prospects of Play – match previews
The 2016 ICC World T20 tournament
For First Post during the T20 World Cup I will be covering and reporting on the West Indies.
Earlier this week their website published my preview of the competition from the Caribbean perspective, in which I looked at WIndies’ prospects.
Since writing, T&T’s Lendl Simmons has also withdrawn from the WI squad, to be replaced by fellow-countryman, Evan Lewis.
And there are several more articles regarding the tournament, and features on many of the other sides here.
