13 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
I once played in a game where a friend of mine got eight wickets.

Young Josh managed to take two hat-tricks in one game and they happened in successive overs too.

18 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The plethora of professional sporting activities that took place this past weekend produced tension and terror usually reserved for really good thriller movies. All sorts of emotions would have been felt around the world, but I think we’ll all have a laugh at how Warnie should be having a walk-off with Derek Zoolander.

When the world’s greatest living icon sends a message that simply says, “bring back the trophy”, AND your president dresses up in Proteas gear to send you off, you know the pressure is on. One wonders if that dreaded c-word is banned from the Proteas camp as they prepare to leave our shores in search of that ever elusive first World Cup triumph…

England Celebrate Ashes Win With Sprinkler Dance [VIDEO]
30 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
That headline is not misleading in any way. After inventing the game, and then being beaten at it by almost every one of your former colonies, the English regained a small measure of cricketing pride by spanking the Australian cricket team at the MCG. It took all of fifteen minutes to squander their new found dignity.

Warney Lands A Killer Blow To Wolverine’s Crown Jewels
27 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
There wasn’t much joy for the Aussie cricketers yesterday (or today for that matter). They were licking their wounds well into the night. However, a face-off between the great Shane Warne and X-Men star and all-round (no pun) legend Hugh Jackman had the crowd truly grimacing – as Wolverine took a googly to the nether regions. Ooorph.

Biff And AB Set For Glorious IPL Paychecks
22 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
I was always under the impression that cricketers weren’t the best-paid sportsmen on the planet. Well our very own Proteas Graeme Smith and AB de Villiers are set for ‘mahooooosive’ paydays come next year’s IPL. There are 19 others in the highest reserve price and believe me, they’re being paid quite a bit of Tom! Good form chaps.

Aussie Cricketers Suffer Intense Media Wrath
08 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Ricky Ponting and his team have every reason to feel decidedly morbid. Yesterday’s annihilation has brought a collective grumble from local newspapers that have likened the national side to a “toothpick trying to derail a speeding bullet train.” There have even been calls for Shane Warne to drop the commentary mic and grab the kookaburra. Desperate times.

Stellar idea. [VIDEO]

Another Candid KP Tweet
01 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
I love Twitter. You know why? Because some sportsmen and women speak their minds instead of regurgitating cliche’s from the “Sportsmen and Women’s Book of Hackneyed Ways to Respond to Interviews”. KP once referred to the ECB as a bunch of muppets in a tweet. Now he is having a go at the Adelaide groundsmen ahead of Friday’s second Ashes test.

Of course we all know that the Ashes pits Australia against England in a 5-test match series; unfortunately this poor woman doesn’t even know what a wicket is. Tweedicament.

Barmy Beer Prices
04 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
The oldest and fiercest rivalry in cricket begins in around three weeks time. I have always admired the perpetual banter thrown back and forth between the JAFAs and the Poms. However, this year the Barmy Army is in for a pricey trip, with the Aussie dollar rock-solid against the pound.
