I’ve fallen out of love with watching England over the last few years; from watching every day of every test in 2018 I gave it a miss in 2019 and of course Covid then came along. In spite off loving watching cricket at Lord’s I doubt I’ll watch England there again the prices are just … More England v South Africa at the Oval
Looking back to the final test of a great series between England and Pakistan. I wrote this at a time when I was adding in photos galore, they don’t necessarily tie up with the words, apologies for that. This series really saw my fondness for Pakistan cricket start, I was very late to that show. … More England v Pakistan – The Final Test – The Oval

He was out for 25, Bangladesh were 45 for 2 in … More Bangladesh v New Zealand – The Cricket World Cup
I joined Surrey as a member in 2015, largely with The Ashes in mind, in the years since I’ve formed a soft spot for Surrey in spite of being an Essex fan. This then gives me mixed emotions when the 2 teams meet. I haven’t been able to give up that membership, there’s something I … More Surrey v Essex – The defence of a title starts!
Finishing off a wonderful Summer of cricket! … More My Favourite Cricket Moments 2018 (September)
I’m going to try to do this one differently, get the writing done before I tackle the photos (I took over 4000, they’re going to take some time!). I joined as a Surrey and England member before the last home Ashes, over those years I’ve managed to get to a few home games and therefore … More Surrey v Essex
As BBC TMS are replaying this memorable test for England and of course Essex favourite Alastair Cook, here’s a look back at that day in words and photos. Day 4 was the day of the horror journey to The Oval for me (it was about a lot more than that, but let’s get the journey … More England v India – The Oval – Day 4
I wasn’t able to write up this match on a daily basis and have been torn over how to do this Final Test justice. For my own ‘records’ I’m going to go day by day so I can post photos from each of the 5 days. i decided last summer that it was cheaper and … More England v India – The Oval – Day 1
