Ashes 2005 Top Trumps

Posted by Andy on 11/29/2005 in Cricshop


New in Cricshop this month is the fantastic Ashes 2005 Top Trumps card game.

All the 2005 players are represented for both teams, with a selection of the commentators thrown in - Boycott, Botham, Atherton and Greig for England and Richie Benaud for the Aussies.

Players are rated on six categories - year born, highest score, wickets, catches, Ashes impact and Test appearances - and, as ever, the skill lies in deciding which field to suggest, unless you're up against Andrew Flintoff, say, who will always be a menace whatever you throw at him.

The ideal stocking filler, Ashes 2005 Top Trumps can be bought from Cricshop today.

Wicket to Wicket

Posted by Andy on 11/13/2005 in Latest Features

Recently launched is Wicket to Wicket, Cricinfo's discussion blog.

It's rare for people to talk about cricket without argument taking place. Mention a cricketing topic, and opposite points of view spring forth, each passionately advocated and cogently argued. These arguments are part of the fun of following the game. Sitting with friends and arguing about the merits of technology in umpiring, and Dravid v Ganguly, and whether Flintoff is better than Botham is often quite as much fun as watching this great game itself - and we intend to have some of that fun on this blog.

On Wicket to Wicket, cricket writers will, by invitation, get together and discuss stuff. We'll pick issues and ideas that are somewhat nuanced and that generate good discussion. (There'll be no "Is Robert Mugabe good for Zimbabwe?" kind of discussions, for example.) And we'll have fun with them. So click here to find out more.
