Kevin Pieterson is the new face of England cricket

Kevin Pieterson has a unorthodox approach that is good for England cricket


Kevin Pieterson epitomizes the new England cricket spirit, keeping in mind the traditional dour and correct batting by former England batsmen like Geoffrey Boycott. Kevin Pieterson has shown that a correct technique and playing in the V is not always the best thing for England cricket


Kevin Pieterson's double century in double quick time


Kevin Pieterson has slammed a test double century against the West Indies cricket team. Kevin Pieterson once again demonstrated his brand of ruthless hitting , typically from the front foot against the young West Indies cricket bowlers , as he scored 226 runs in double quick time



While the current West Indies cricket team may not boast the best bowling attack in international test cricket, Kevin Pieterson has once again demonstrated that he can not only score runs but also score them rather quickly


Kevin Pieterson's double century should hopefully inspire the other potential great, Freddie Flintoff to get his act together for England cricket's sake

England will win the cricket World cup!


England cricket team may win the cricket World cup- We reiterate England's chances


The England cricket team have done a great job of reaching the finals of the tri-nation cricket series,involving Australia and New
Zealand.The England cricket team have a good chance of winning the cricket World cup in the West Indies.


The England cricket team is well balanced and has quite a few matchwinners


The England cricket team has good batsmen in Collingwood and Bell, good bowlers in Harmison and Panesar and a great allrounder in
Andrew Flintoff.


The England cricket team has two batting matchwinners in Flintoff and Pieterson


In the England cricket team for the cricket World cup,Flintoff,Collingwood and Pieterson are key potential matchwinners who can score at more than a run a ball.Apart from Flintoff and Pieterson,the England
cricket team also has Bell and Collingwood who are currently in great form and can make an impact in the cricket World cup in the West Indies


The England cricket team needs to be more creative in their cricketing strategies


Strategy is a weak area for the England cricket team in one day international cricket matches. For example,the England cricket team needs to look
at moving either or both Flintoff and Pieterson up the order to exploit the Power Play overs.Also,Yardy is a promising find for the England cricket
team and the England cricket team need to consider having two genuine spinners in Yardy and Monty Panesar,rather than the ineffectual
Giles or Dalrymple


In summary, the England cricket team has an ideal combination for the cricket World cup, it just needs to get its confidence and strategy in place

England can win the cricket World cup in the West Indies


The England cricket team can win the cricket World cup in the West Indies


I know the thought of a demoralized England cricket team winning the World cup cricket tournament sounds incredible.But we,at GameCricket.com have concluded that England can win the cricket World cup,based on a statistical analysis of the England cricket team


The current England cricket team has skills more tuned towards one day international cricket rather than test cricket


The England cricket team is lucky to have many match-winners in their World cup cricket squad in the West Indies. Flintoff and Pieterson are two potential match-winners for the England cricket team, and both of them not only score a lot of runs but also score the runs at an incredible speed.


One of the key challenges in today's one day international cricket is the ability to push the scoring in the middle overs and players such as Flintoff and Pieterson are perfectly capable of making fast scoring happen.

Both Flintoff and Pieterson in the England cricket team,are also good players of spin bowling. The ability to play spin bowling is extremely important during the World cup cricket tournament in the West Indies,since the pitches are expected to be slow and aid spin


The England cricket team needs to sort out their strategy for the cricket world cup


The England cricket team needs to desperately rethink their strategy for the World cup cricket tournament - the England cricket team is actually quite good with batsmen like Bell,Pieterson and Vaugham, all rounders such as Collingwood and Flintoff, good fast bowlers such as Harmison and an excellent spinner in Monty Panesar


All successful one day international cricket teams for the cricket World cup ensure that their best batsmen get to play the maximum number of overs- thats why Sachin Tendulkar opens for India, Fleming and Astle play at the top of the order for New Zealand, Gilchrist opens for Australia and so on- The England cricket team needs to ensure that batsmen such as Flintoff and Pieterson play at the top of the order to ensure that they get enough overs to score runs at a fast pace


Monty Panesar is the key to the England cricket team's chances in the World cup.


The England cricket team needs to nurture Monty Panesar for the World cup cricket tournament since the West Indies cricket pitches are expected to be slow and possibly underprepared- a spinner will most likely be the man of the series for the cricket World cup and Monty Panesar could be that spinner. Yardy has also impressed with the limited chances he has got in the England cricket team and should be considered for the World cup cricket tournament in the West Indies

Ashes 2006 won by Australia-as predicted by GameCricket.com


The Ashes cricket test series has been won by Australia-The Ashes test series score is 4-0 so far and will probably get to 5-0 in favor of Australia.



You should have read GameCricket.com's prediction of the Ashes cricket series,2006 - You wouldnt have then been surprised at the performance of the Australian cricket team against England.



Why exactly did England lose the Ashes cricket series against Australia?




  • Ashes Loss reason 1 :

    The Stresscothick incident: Threscothick was England's best opening batsman for the Ashes cricket series against Australia- To come to Australia for the Ashes cricket series and then decide not to play was most unprofessional of Threscothick,irrespective of his personal problems. I dont call for being jingoistic,but citing personal problems while the England cricket team is fighting one of its biggest battles against Australia reeks of not having any national pride.

  • Ashes Loss reason 2:

    Inept team selection and captaincy by Flintoff: There is a lot of criticism for Fletcher in the Ashes cricket series-but the person who has to cop the blame is always the captain - Mr. Freddie Flintoff. Not selecting Panesar for the first two tests against Australia in the Ashes cricket series reeked of a really flawed selection policy.Even in the fourth Ashes test,Flintoff obviously has a very low opinion of Panesar's bowling and gave him just 12 overs in Australia's 300+ run assault.

  • Ashes Loss reason 3:

    The loss of confidence for Harmison: Harmison at his best is probably one of the best bowlers in world cricket- the images that we always remember are those of Harmison bouncing the cricket ball into the ribs of the Aussie batsmen in the 2005 Ashes cricket series. In the current Ashes 2006 in Australia,Harmison has been a shadow of his former self and seemed to be scared to put the cricket ball close to the Aussie batsmen

The good news for the England cricket team after the Ashes cricket series 2006:

The retirement of Shane Warne and McGrath is the best cricket news that England have heard for a really long time. With young players like Bell and Panesar in the team,England should hopefully have a better time in the next Ashes cricket series :-)
