England Ease Through To Champions Trophy Final

England booked their place in the ICC Champions Trophy final by demolishing an outclassed South Africa at The Oval. James Anderson did the early damage, with James Tredwell and then Stuart Broad taking over as South Africa were bowled out for 175.

Jonathan Trott then led England's successful run chase and finished unbeaten on 82 as they won with 75 balls to spare.

Sri Lanka Reach Semis By Beating Australia

Sri Lanka produced an efficient performance to beat Australia by 20 runs and book themselves an ICC Champions Trophy 2013 semi-final against India.

Set 254 to win, Australia needed to get the runs within 29.1 overs to stay in the tournament and they gave game chase but lost too many wickets along the way and were eventually dismissed for 233.

Australia A Overcome Spirited Irish Challenge

Australia A overcame a spirited and resilient Ireland side as well as the rain to record a comfortable 93-run victory on the final day of their first-class match in Belfast, making it two from two on their tour of the British Isles.

Nathan Lyon, who is currently the only spinner in Australia's 16-man Ashes squad, took three wickets during an impressive spell to seal victory after the start of play was delayed due to a wet outfield at Stormont.

India Unchanged For West Indies ODI Tri-Series

India have named an unchanged 15-man squad to travel to the Caribbean to play Sri Lanka and West Indies in a One-Day International tri-series which begins on 28th June.

The selectors have understandably kept faith with the same squad of players that beat Pakistan, South Africa and West Indies to reach the sem-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013.

South Africa Take Calm Approach To Semi-Final

South Africa qualified for the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 following a dramatic tie against West Indies in Cardiff and they are now 'minding their own business' as they prepare for their semi-final.

Fast bowler Lonwabo Tsotsobe, who has taken four wickets in the tournament so far, says that the squad are doing their best to approach the match at The Oval as any other game.

Sir Ian Botham believes that Alastair Cook's England side are easily good enough to beat Australia in the upcoming Ashes Tests, both home and away. Indeed, so confident is the hero of the famous 1981 series that he says that a 5-0 whitewash should not be out of the question and he jokes that even if the games were played on Mars, England would still win.

Player Of The Week

There were a number of worthy contenders for the latest Cricket World Player Of The Week award following the first full week of competition at the ICC Champions Trophy 2013. High-class performances from members of all eight competing nations were weighed up but Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara has been chosen as the award winner.

The two sides are no strangers to each other, having contested the 2011 World Cup final, which India won on home soil, while India hold the upper hand having won their previous four meetings in England and Wales.

The 2012 World Twenty20 promised to be a tournament to remember. This time, Sri Lanka were aiming to win on home soil but they faced challenges from around the globe in one of the most open tournaments to date. We believe this is the first book published on the ICC World Twenty20 2012 and is currently available as both an e-book and paperback.
The interviews in this book are our favourites from a number we conducted in 2010 and 2011. These were busy times for the game and inside you will read about some scarily accurate Ashes predictions, some intriguing insights into life as a county cricketer and a whole lot more. We hope you enjoy reading our back catalogue as much as we have enjoyed compiling it.
