365 Sporting Days
Sharing a passion for Sport!
In spite of some of the things life has thrown at me it's hard to find me without a smile on my face. I have a job I love, 2 beautiful children, I love sport and writing about it; which I do at debsknigsport.com
Here I want to share with you my thoughts on life, some sadness but hopefully a lot of happiness too. To show people that life can be wonderful even after tough times.
And so we came to the finale of this intriguing test match, I had another horror night in my hotel, I have no idea why people coming from a different time zone can’t understand that people want to be asleep at 3am in the morning! But, slamming doors and shouting for 2 hours at that time at least meant I […]
My journey to the ground for Day 3 was seamless, I felt like trying to tell those paying to park that they really didn’t need to! I had empty seats around me, they must’ve heard about me! But had a few good exchanges of views throughout the day. England had the opportunity to get runs on the board and set […]
My morning had a much better start than Day 1, I drove to the road I was parking in rather than driving miles away from the ground! It was a much better plan. My seat was in the Scriveners Opticians Stand, I knew this would be a good seat because I’d picked it when I visited the ground to watch […]
England’s 1000th Test and their first against India this summer started today at Edgbaston. Most of the talk before the match, on the England front, revolved around the inclusion of Adil Rashid, a man who opted out of playing red ball cricket for his county, Yorkshire, in 2018. He goes into this series with a good deal of pressure on […]
An Article from guest blogger Jacob Wadsworth, Have photos of Sam Cook, Matthew Fisher and I hope Josh Tongue but haven’t seen the others to take any. I now these 3 are great young prospects having watched them. My name is Jacob Wadsworth, 24 years old, born in Bradford, West Yorkshire, I work as a carer and recently taken a […]
This final day of the warm up match between Essex and India was all a bit surreal. The day started with Paul Walter and James Foster at the crease. Foster is clearly a very experienced cricketer who did play for England, if not as many times as he really should. Walter on the other hand has only 10 First Class […]
I’ and I imagine many others thought Day 2 of this warm up match would bring us a century as Dinesh Karthik was starting the day on 82, however he had a brain freeze on the first ball of the day from Paul Walter, he hit the ball skywards and Matt Dixon took a very good catch flying across the […]
And so the Superstars of India Cricket arrived at the Cloudfm County Ground in Chelmsford to play a warm up match against Essex. The game was due to be played over 4 days but that was reduced to 3 once the visitors had arrived in town. Hugely disappointing for those who’d planned to come along on Day 4, the Saturday. […]
The squads for the warm up match between Essex and India
The ODI series moved on to the Home of Cricket, could England find their mojo and even up the series? A man who’d been out of sorts would make sure they did. To put the ‘moaning’ about Joe Root into perspective, in the 7 ODI’s he’d played in before this one, he scored 136 runs with a top score of […]
This is going to be another blog with more photos than words and those photos will tell the story of the game. (lots of Rohit again!) I’m going to add them in differently this time, posting each innings after I’ve written about it. (lots of Rohit again!) The first ODI between England and India took place at Trent Bridge. I travelled […]
Lots of photos for this one, especially of Rohit Sharma The mini road trip to watch England play India took my friend Monica and I to the County Ground at Bristol for the 3rd and decisive T20 between the 2 teams. We chose to use the Park and Ride which worked really well going but was something of a disaster […]
My cricket schedule means I’ve fallen behind on writing, here’s hoping I can keep up with the test matches! This was the second of three T20’s to start this series between England and India, India had won the first game at Old Trafford in an atmosphere that was more akin to a home game for them. The weather in […]
I’m catching up on writing while I’m watching the first T20 between England and India, looking back to Edgbaston and the only T20 between England and Australia. Aaron Finch took over the captaincy for this single T20 game, he won the toss and put England in to bat. England had a change around in the batting order with Jason Roy […]
With the single T20 between these 2 teams happening tomorrow I’m going to write this with just a few photos included, then I’ll add more later. 413 runs were scored in this 5th ODI and it was far and away the best of the 4 games I went to. Tim Paine won the toss again, and again elected to bat. […]
I drove to the Durham area from Nottingham via Fountains Abbey, I lingered longer than planned, it’s simply stunning! I’d booked an Airbnb in Lanchester a few miles outside of Durham, the welcome was amazing and the accommodation lovely! I drove to the park and ride for the match, that proved to be a good way to get to the […]
