@annajoubert @exitthelemming Cheered me up listening to an omnibus of these on @Radio4Extra this morning. Written and read with beautiful comic timing. Plus the bonus of the inimitable announcer's voice of Peter Donaldson introducing each splendid episode.

Most neutrals wanted Somerset to win the #CountyChamp, but hats off to Surrey for 3 in a row. Good to see the ECB highlighting the closing stages of its most storied competition rather than arranging some meaningless international games to clash with it as well as Blast ... oh

I hope I haven't been too harsh on Kilburn for trying to out-Cardus Cardus in this book but, reading it again for @MattersCounty, I'd forgotten quite how "literary" he is trying to be in many of the essays: there is not so much of the economical prose of his maturity

@alawyerwrites @WG_RumblePants @CullivanPeter Wise words from @alawyerwrites here - I have just read @BattersbyDave's latest, which is a bit niche but nonetheless a fine piece of work - as for what's next thanks to @CricketKnow's contribution to @MattersCounty's latest I've already plucked this one from the shelves

Many thanks to @archivist_al for his recent invaluable help, pointing me to an important file in the MCC Archive for a piece in @TheCricketerMag on George Headley, and to the gems on leg-spin in the MCC Library for a 50 Books article on CS Marriott @WisdenCricket

Happy birthday Sir Frank. As @ListerProd points out in the @BBCr4today piece, the first sportsman to receive a memorial service in Westminster Abbey - and also the first to bring so many well-wishers onto the streets of Melbourne as the first tenured black captain of West Indies.

Brief but excellent piece on Sir Frank Worrell @windiescricket captain of 1963 winning team to UK. Died much too young at 42 but one of the most significant sports figures of the 20th century @amolrajan @BBCr4today @Emmabarnett

Includes my bit on John Nyren: 'If the Hambledon era represented what The Cricketers of My Time calls a "total revolution" in cricket technique, the book began a revolution in cricket writing because of its sense of occasion, character, period and place'

Monumental effort from the @WorcsCCC boys at Kent over the last couple of days given everything that’s happened. They really are a special group of men. #JB33 💚

@WisdenAlmanack Doug Ibbotson's appreciation in the 1988 Almanack a reminder of one of the curiosities of Deadly's career: his best analysis (9-28) and highest score (111) both at Hastings, 20 years apart

DEREK UNDERWOOD 1945–2024 We mourn the loss of “Deadly” by revisiting three pieces from the Almanack. The first is Norman Preston’s report of the final Ashes Test at The Oval in 1968. Underwood bowled England to victory with minutes to spare. (1/3) espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack…
