The Twenty20 does the talking

By Abeed Hassnat

No opening ceremony, no big bangs, no dancing girls (yet!) but there is one things that will be doing the talking. The cricket. It has arrived in Sri Lanka and the hosts will be cautious against the team that's been hunting down upsets, Zimbabwe.

The next KP that never was...

By Abeed Hassnat
The whole cricket world was shocked when it was announced in the early afternoon of a Monday that Tom Maynard has been found dead. He was pronounced dead on a railway track near Wimbledon Park railway station at around 5am in the morning. This was later confirmed with Metropolitan Police and his respective club, Surrey.

Matt Coles - Future England Star


By Dan Stone 

When I first saw 6ft 3 Matt Coles bustling in against the Indians at Canterbury, you could clearly see that this guy had talent. Even though he only bowled 4 overs in that match (due to heavy rain reducing the match to 20 overs per side), it was great to see a young bowler getting the ball to zip through at a decent pace. He didn't have the best of nights and got carted at the end by the magnificent Virat Kohli but i saw enough in him to believe that he is a future England star.

Before this match, Coles had played for Kent for a few years but could never establish himself into the side but regularly got chances due to the lack of resources at Kent's disposal. Kent put too much pressure on the Maidstone seamer and almost expected him to lead the attack. This led to him being overbowled and caused him to sit out a large section of the 2011 season due to injuries such as a jarred knee and a stress fracture in his left foot.
