England's two Tests in Bangladesh starting on Friday come with a sub-plot that threatens to be more fascinating than the main event.
Kevin Pietersen arrived in international cricket five years ago with such clamour that it seems preposterous for him to be locked in such a grim struggle to find form, and it is all starting to get a little bit out of hand.

People won’t watch Test cricket unless there are day-night matches
Time zones, Lalit. Time zones.
At least half the matches your team plays aren’t in your country. If it’s all about broadcasting rights then one nation’s day-night match is the opposition’s daytime match.

Welcome to the third episode of my Chief Executive’s blog, your regular update from me, which aims to bring you up to speed with what’s been happening at the club in recent weeks. If you missed my first two blogs, Read More
Day Eight It’s another warm one and we’ve got a very tough day ahead, which we’ll be spending the entirety of out in the middle in 40 degree plus heat! As we near the end of this trip, I can’t help myself wondering what the weather is doing back home and sneak a quick glance at the BBC weather site online for the Lord’s area. Read More
So, it’s goodnight Brett Lee, and Test cricket loses one of it’s few genuine box-office bowlers. His Test career was an odd one. He finishes as Australia’s fourth highest wicket-taker with 310 wickets in 76 Tests – more than Benaud, Lindwall, Thomson, Hughes and Miller. Yet for the English, Lee will be remembered primarily for his pace, and as an inconsistent nearly man, despite opening the b Read More
Like Andrew Flintoff, Brett Lee’s had to jack in proper cricket because his body’s had it. Fast bowling’s a mug’s game, but anyone who’s seen our Too Cool mug or our robot mug knows that we love mugs. In many ways, Brett Lee was the perfect Australian fast bowler. He was a proper, 96mph, charge-to-the-crease, rip-your-shoulder-out-of-its-socket fast bowler who was stunning to watch, yet when h Read More
Once bowling over his opponents at Lords, former Middlesex CCC seam bowler Tim Bloomfield is now equipping himself for his latest test by ironing out the ceases at one of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead’s best local eateries, the Union Inn. Read More
Day Four We awake to another fine, sunny and gloriously hot day. Following a healthy breakfast that consists of omelette on toast at the hotel, we’re off to the ground to play in our first competitive game out here; a 10am start for a forty over match against a very keen looking local eleven.

We might as well do our usual thing of formalising our fence-sitting position. Our initial feelings when Somerset wicketkeeper, Craig Kieswetter, started eating up column inches was: ‘No, not another one. Too many wicketkeepers!’ Read More
Welcome to issue two of my Chief Executive’s blog. A regular update aiming to give you an insight into a few of the things going on at the club that you mightn’t necessarily be aware of. Read More
Two frigging Tests. Whose bright idea was it to have a two-Test series between India and South Africa?
Don’t tell us that originally there were no Tests scheduled. If you fancy a sandwich and there’s no bread in the house, you don’t go out and buy a single slice of granary.
