The best batting pitches in Tests

Last week's column focused on the best batting surfaces in ODIs; this time the attention shifts to Test venues. The general verdict from experts is that pitches all over the world have eased up in the last few years, favouring batsmen much more than they used to. England has always offered a bit to the seam and swing bowlers, but batsmen have had more than their share of success recently. The last five Tests at Lord's have all been drawn, and while the weather has had a part to play in the last two verdicts, there have still been five scores of more than 500 here since 2005. After the first day against South Africa, England seem well on their way to another big total.

New Zealand 266-5 England 215: Miserable England in need of Flintoff lift

The highlight of a miserable week for the England cricket team, a week that has seen the morality and ability of the one-day side questioned, took place in Brighton yesterday morning. It was the sight of a fit Andrew Flintoff (right) running up the hill at Hove and bowling for Lancashire in the LV Championship First Division match against Sussex. Flintoff has had his moments off the field but very few modern cricketers encapsulate what is meant by the "Spirit of Cricket" better than him. Flintoff plays hard but fair and it is difficult to believe England's appeal for the run out of New Zealand's Grant Elliott would have been carried out at The Oval on Wednesday had he been playing. England need Flintoff back, not just to bowl hostile overs, give the ball an almighty smack and take breathtaking catches at slip but to provide the dressing r

England set for their highland fling

This is the first time the Auld Enemy have met in a one-day international and it's the biggest match staged north of Hadrian's Wall. It's an occasion which Scotland have nothing to lose and everything to gain. It shouldn't be a contest with the likes of Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff going head-to-head with a collection of county and club professionals. However, these matches can do funny things to the so-called 'big boys' as they attempt to avoid an embarrassing banana skin. In 2006 England made hard work of beating Ireland and if the dank, damp weather of recent weeks hangs around the conditions will be ideal for Scotland's motley crew of honest seamers. For England, though, this should be useful preparation for the one-day series against South Africa and allow the players to switch from first-class cricket into limited-overs mode.

The Pirate Bay Blocked In Italy

imhassan tips us to news that The Pirate Bay has been blocked in Italy. Other attempts to block the popular P2P site have been somewhat less than successful. From TorrentFreak: "Pirate Bay's IPs and the domain name are inaccessible, as they are blocked by ISPs all over the country. Whether these blocks will be very effective, however, is doubtful, since The Pirate Bay has already announced several countermeasures. An insider working at an Internet provider in Italy told TorrentFreak that all the relevant large access ISPs in Italy have complied with the request to block the popular BitTorrent tracker, which was sent out yesterday. Italy is taking a stand against BitTorrent sites, so it seems. Two weeks ago, the largest Italian torrent site, Columbo-BT, was shut down by the same prosecutor who is responsible for the Pirate Bay block.
