The cricket correspondent


That would be me.

I’ve had an article published on Holding Willey about the recent war of words between Kevin Pietersen and the editor of Wisden regarding the influence of the IPL and the effects on Test cricket. It’s on this link.

Holding Willey is an India-based cricket website which draws in views from cricket fans all over the world. Back in 2009 it was even named one of the top twenty cricket websites by the Daily Telegraph. The name, of course, comes from that famous old Brian Johnston quote from the England vs West Indies Test at the Oval in 1976, when Michael Holding was bowling to Peter Willey: “The bowler’s Holding, the batsman’s Willey.”

PS - on a not-unrelated subject, Saturday’s game was called off on Friday afternoon.
