To show people that life can be wonderful even after tough times.
Where to start with this, my first World Cup game? I’ve been thinking long and hard on my drive home from Trent Bridge. I’ve seen some off the wall innings, performances and moments at Trent Bridge in the last 7 years, enjoying many days watching cricket. I saw a great game between England and India … More West Indies v Pakistan – The Cricket World Cup
An introduction from Guest Blogger Adarsh As I sit here only one sleep and a few mere hours to go before the start of the 2019 Cricket World Cup, I just cannot contain my excitement!

It’s been a funny Premiership season, with the top 2 pretty much cemented early on. The relegation spot wasn’t confirmed until virtually the end of the season, with Newcastle being the team to go down. Gloucester had come through as strong contenders for 3rd place, beating Saracens at Kingsholm during the 6 Nations window, they … More Saracens v Gloucester – The Premiership Semi-Final
With 15 World Cup matches to go to I need to speed up my writing, so I’m going to see what I can do with this one. No doubt I’ll ramble as per usual though! This was the final match in a 5 ODI series, the first at The Oval had been rained off, well … More England v Pakistan – Headingley
This was my second attempt at watching England play Pakistan, play had been stopped by Hailstones at the Oval, before play was called off.

Having sat watching Essex play Notts in positively … More England v Pakistan – Trent Bridge
With only 2 days notice for the away teams I imagine travelling will have been a big ask. Lancashire had played at Lord’s and Somerset at New Road Worcester.

I was in Newcastle to watch my rugby team Saracens win the Champions Cup, … More The Royal London Cup – Star Men Watch – The semi-finals

It’s amazing to think this 50 over competition is reaching it’s climax. Today, a Friday and a working day we have the 2 play off matches, as a pre-cursor to the semi-finals. I’m sitting just outside Newcastle, here for the European Rugby, hoping my team, Saracens lift the Champions Cup tomorrow. I listened to BBC … More The Royal London Cup – Star Men Watch – the Play Offs
The final day of the group matches in the Southern league saw Hampshire sitting out, but also sitting pretty at the top of the table with a home semi-final guaranteed. There was all to play for in all 4 games, with 4 teams still in with a shout of a play-off place. There’d been a … More The Royal London Cup – Star Men Watch – Day 16
