This week we start by asking if England are as lucky as they are resilient. We also report with some relief that someone (i.e. New Zealand) is finally giving Australia a run for their money Also featured is the worst game in cricket history, John Howard, Eoin Morgan and the IPL, with this week’s list [...]

Luke Wright vs Shane Watson
Verdict: Luke Wright is the Shit Shane Watson

The Silence of the Shane Watson Baiters
The ubiquitous and avenging force that is Shane Watson
