Archive for May, 2011Napier revels in repeat performanceTuesday, May 24th, 2011
When Essex all-rounder Graham Napier blasted 152 not out during a Twenty20 fixture against Sussex in 2008, it was heralded as a one-off, an achievement that could never be repeated. However, some three years later, Napier reminded everybody of his explosive hitting last week with an innings of 196 from 130 balls against Surrey, including a world-record equalling 16 sixes.

The Premier League is the most entertaining league in the world. Of that there can surely be no doubt.

There will be a number of teams vying for Champions League places as well as the title itself. Looking at this year, Manchester United and Chelsea have been the teams to beat once again. The Premier League used to have a ‘big four’ at the top, it is arguably now a ‘big two’ with these two teams finishing in the top two places in six of the last seven campaigns. There is a chasing pack though and there is no way United or Chelsea will comfortably hold onto their place in the top two next season.

Of course, this has limited my time to contribute to this site, but I want to get it going again. An article a day might be ambitious, but that’s what I am aiming for. If for no other reason than to let you all know what I am up to. |
