🏏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A Free Hit for Scotland, Taken in a Bent Game Here it is then, Scotland arriving late to a cricket World Cup with no sponsor, kits still somewhere between a warehouse and a prayer, visas held together by crossed fingers and goodwill. And yet the noise around this moment is

Disheartening to return to Gilvenbank Park and find the renovated square damaged by motorbikes. The ground’s too hard to repair just now, but we’re monitoring conditions and will restore ASAP. After so much work ahead of a big summer for the club, this setback hurts.

🏏 Farewell Judge - RIP Robin Smith 🙏 I loved watching #RobinSmith bat, because at a time when English cricket felt worn down and short of answers, he walked out with a calm authority that lifted everything around him. He carried a low centre of gravity and a back foot like a

🏏 The Umpire Who Made Cricket More Than a Game 🙏 RIP Dickie Bord My childhood summers began and ended with Dickie Bird and David Shepherd walking out to the middle. They didn’t umpire every Test match, but it felt like they did. There was a comfort in their presence, a sense

It was bad enough losing to Italy and Jersey in Scotland’s failure to qualify for the next World T20 event. But now, our A team is being skittled by Denmark. I think a few hard questions need to be asked about where the sport’s going!

Deeply saddened by the passing of David Potter — one of the kindest souls I’ve known. A brilliant photographer and true lover of sport. I’ll miss seeing him at the cricket. Rest easy, my friend. 😞🙏🏽 Condolences to his family and all in Scottish Cricket.

Congratulations to @Safyaan50 on becoming @CricketScotland top wicket taker of all time which is well deserved after 14 years of consistent performances. After holding the record for 10 years I’m delighted I’ve passed the baton onto a player from a Pakistani background.

The square is coming along, though I'm not getting enough time to do more as spending too long working on the outfield and the surrounding areas. It's sometimes good to remember I've actually got a job rather than being a full-time grounds person!
