In 2017 I wrote an article about my favourite World cricketers, I’d seen 9 teams that year and picked at least 1 player from each country. I picked 4 for England, being Alastair Cook, Jimmy Anderson, Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow. One of those players has since retired from international cricket, another may be doing … More There’s something about Jonny – An Update
Watching Premiership Rugby really is so much better when people sit in their seats, for one, and when ref link works, for two. I managed not to miss anything vital this week, and there was a lot of good stuff to see. Poor Wasps travelled to the Stonex Stadium with 15 of their players on … More Saracens v Wasps Rugby
I was looking forward to a game of rugby union between England and Scotland A at Welford Road in Leicester, but woke up to news that the game had been cancelled due to positive Covid tests in the Scotland camp. London Skolars were away in Keighley, a long trek, but happily Broncos were at home. … More London Broncos v Swinton Lions
It’s been a torrid few weeks to be an England and Saracens fan, a time that started with such hope saw a crowd of us rock up at Allianz Park at 8am on a Saturday morning to watch England win the World Cup. That didn’t quite go to plan as South Africa pretty much did … More The Joys of Being a Saracens Fan, Toxic Media and Thinking before you Type

But, today, the real thing started, the County Championship got underway in England. That is the start of the season on April 5th, that … More County Championship Day 1
My head still seems to be in the cricket world in spite of it being the rugby season, hence the delay on writing. I missed two of Saracens matches in October, the Harlequins match because I was away doing something that’d been planned for 10 months. I saw most of the second half as Saracens … More Saracens in October

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 … More England v India – T20 – Cardiff
3 days and 3 sets of photos – that means lots, with a few wickets captured if you look closely! Essex’s defence of the title started with a ‘wet weekend’ literally when not a ball was bowled at Headingley. Lancashire across the Pennines played Nottinghamshire, losing heavily after being bowled out for 158 and and … More Essex v Lancashire – 2018
