Pont: Test pedigree isn't everything
ENGLAND are looking for a bowling coach, and Allan Donald, the former Warwickshire and South Africa paceman, has already been put in the frame to replace Ottis Gibson, but Ian Pont is an interesting candidate on what is likely to be a long list.

England are making too much noise
PROBABLY Michael Vaughan was right to point out that a batsman will never 'walk' again with the ICC's introduction of the Decision Review System. So diminished sportsmanship is part of the price for more accurate decisions, but the England management's snick fury at The Wanderers was misguided.

England are wasting their luck
IT IS just as well England's attempt to lose the third Test in Cape Town was foiled by the obdurate batting of Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood. They go into the fourth and final match in Johannesburg on Jan 14 one up in the series after putting South Africa in to bat in two matches and nearly paying the full consequence.

ECB push away the armchair
THE points system in the LV County Championship has been revised for 2010 and the use of the heavy roller after the start of a game has been banned. Increasing the value of a win is a welcome step not just because brighter play will be encouraged. More robust pitches should help the England selectors identify the best batsmen with greater certainty.

Henley - Home Counties Premier League Champions 2009
Slovenia's appeal
The first cricket match in beautiful Slovenia took place in 1997 when a group of expatriates scraped together a side to give the touring Royal Hague CC a fixture on their Balkans tour. They cheekily asked the President of Slovenia, Milan Kucan, for his support, and to their surprise he attended the match. After he had been briefed on how cricket terminology had entered the English language, he commented: "Oh, so you might say the American attitude to our application to join NATO is not quite cricket." Whether one of Europe's great statesmen ever used his new vocabulary in subsequent speeches is not known.
