An Alternative to Exclusion: The Statistical Basis for an ICC World Cup Qualifying Tournament
Posted on 3:10 PM by Unknown
The ICC have announced that affiliate nations are to be excluded from the World Cup in 2015, only to be reinstated from 2019 after a mooted ODI League begins. As well as manifestly defending without consequence the full member nations Bangladesh and Zimbabwe at the expense of the affiliates, there are several flaws in the ICC's logic. Their thinking is that Bangladesh and Zimbabwe deserve

Cheer up, Fernando Torres.
Posted on 1:54 PM by Unknown
Fernando Torres will rediscover his form again. Some day. He's too good a player not to, really. But those happy times seem a long way away after yet another match in which he's failed to find the net. It's now eight straight goalless matches he's played for the Blues; more galling is that he's only registered one shot on target during his six EPL matches for Chelsea, one less than fellow new

Posted on 3:07 PM by Unknown
By excluding Ireland, the Netherlands and other affiliate nations from the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, the ICC could well have signed the death warrant for International 50-over cricket. A format which could well have been revitalized by one of - if not THE - best World Cups ever, now stands on the precipice of becoming an elitist tournament with no second division. Any league

Yet the peripheral influences afford no respect and errors are regularly made. You may have noticed that Ricky Ponting has relinquished the Australian captaincy recently.

Milan derby to decide Serie A
Posted on 1:11 PM by Unknown
Rafael Benitez's short reign at Inter has already been overshadowed by the sparkle of his successor's. With the Nerazzurri following Brazilian Leonardo in a rapid climb up the Serie A standings, league-leading AC Milan appear scared of losing what, at one point, had been a double-digit lead in the points standings. Since Benitez's methodical approach was superseded by Leonardo just rolling the
Jack Wilshere - more valuable for Arsenal or England?
Posted on 9:10 AM by Unknown
A re-post of our article published on Soccerlens:Jack Wilshere is the future. The chosen one, he’s the face of English football for the twenty-first century. Miraculously, he remains somewhat personally underexposed for the amount of hype that surrounds him. Without him, the future of both Arsenal and England seems less positive. His rise has been meteoric. Two seasons ago he was a
