@gulu1959 Go Gulu, you can do it 💪

I am continuously working through the night on my 21st book despite a series of health setbacks since January, since it is a book very special to me with a very tight deadline. Send me strength, cricket lovers!

This weekend I shall probably continue to whine at @x @support but at @CricketWebNet we will have something much more interesting, my reviews of @huwzat's 2025 book and of another instalment of @stevesmith73652's telling of the Philadelphia Story

Back to North America with this one, and the story of the Patterson family, and in particular George Stuart Patterson @CricketWebNet @Cricket_Books cricketweb.net/books/hand-in-…

Books of scorecards and statistics are not as indispensable as they once were, but are still important for some readers @CricketWebNet @WisdenCricket @WisdenAlmanack @AskStevenSport cricketweb.net/books/wbotc/

This weekend on @CricketWebNet we will have two reviews, one of the latest from @Cricket_Books and the other a new addition to a major series from @AskStevenSport @WisdenCricket @WisdenAlmanack @BloomsburyBooks

Another forgotten American cricketer is profiled in one of Steve Smith's recent releases @CricketWebNet @stevesmith73652 cricketweb.net/books/coates

A new series of monographs by James Merchant has recently been launched in Australia, and here we have Martin and Archie's thoughts on the first to appear @CricketWebNet cricketweb.net/books/frank-al…

We welcome Peter Lloyd to our blog, who shares with us the prologue to a forthcoming book that will appeal to all cricketing bibliophiles @cricketwebnet cricketweb.net/forthcoming-bo…

It's that time of year again, when I look around for some ideas for your letter to Santa @cricketwebnet @Cricket_Books @NightwatchmanXI @PitchPublishing @FairfieldBooks_ @BattersbyDave @welshcricketmus @stevesmith73652 cricketweb.net/new-books-an-o…

The Gentlemen of Philadelphia again in this monograph, but with a distinctly Welsh flavour @CricketWebNet @welshcricketpod @welshcricketmus @BattersbyDave cricketweb.net/books/mwcmonog…

Another week and another view of Fred Spofforth, this time from Archie Mac @CricketWebNet cricketweb.net/books/spoffort…

Patsy Hendren is one of the famous names of cricket from the inter-war years, and in this new biography Jeremy Lonsdale tells his story @CricketWebNet @PitchPublishing @lonsdale_jeremy cricketweb.net/books/patsy-he…

Three reviews on @CricketWebNet this weekend as @SeanEhlers continues our Fred Spofforth celebration and I review a new biography of Patsy Hendren and the latest monograph from @welshcricketpod @welshcricketmus @BattersbyDave @lonsdale_jeremy @PitchPublishing

Just to update anyone interested (and I doubt there are many) @Support are still ignoring my requests for clarification as to why they won't assist me to recover my @fredfertang account - such appalling customer service ☹️

This is one aimed fairly and squarely at the hardened tragic, and it sounds like the target audience will absolutely love it ......... @CricketWebNet @SeanEhlers cricketweb.net/books/spoffort…

With this one Steve Smith's survey of the history of cricket in Philadelphia looks at the involvement of the MCC @CricketWebNet @stevesmith73652 cricketweb.net/books/mccphila…

The subject matter of Stephen Chalke's latest book is something of a departure for him, but as ever it is a cracking read @CricketWebNet @NightwatchmanXI @fairfieldbooks cricketweb.net/books/pybb/

Three reviews this weekend on @CricketWebNet with reviews of a second Spofforth book in as many weeks, another chapter in the Philadelphia Story from @stevesmith73652 as well as a real treat, a new book from Stephen Chalke @NightwatchmanXI @FairfieldBooks_

@FertangFre62008 @X 😰😥

Be careful with your @X account folks, as you'll get this rubbish if someone hacks you - it's taken them a month to tell me they couldn't give a flying **** about having me on their platform - my one ask is please retweet this, as people should know what they're up against☹️

This one is another interesting biography of a virtually unknown figure from the history of cricket in the US @CricketWebNet @stevesmith73652 cricketweb.net/books/george-l…
