Cricket, from a Norwegian point of view

Welcome to the first, Norwegian hosted cricket blog!

I'm writing this as India, one of my favorite teams, are chasing Pakistan's competitative total of 286 runs in their 5th and last ODI of the series. As India has already sealed the series, they have rested a few players to let the less experienced ones get a chanse. Dhoni and Singh are now at bat, doing well, but India require another 101 runs with 8 wickets and 12.5 overs remaining, so it's gonna be an exciting finnish!


I hope we will be joined by some foreign contributors here, so my modest knowledge of cricket will grow. Of course there are many brilliant sites on the web with all the facts you need (and don't need) to know of the game, such as Cricinfo and Wikipedia, but knowing what to search for can be difficult. I therefore hope that members of this blogg will be able to post their favorite "cricket fact of the week", either about a player, statistics, a field etc.

Finally it is only fair that the greatest batsman of any sport of all time, Sir Donald Bradman, gets to officially open the Blog. Cheers!
