Wilfred Rhodes was a cricketing legend, taking more first-class wickets than anyone ever will, opening the batting for England and playing Test cricket in his 50s. But he constantly worked hard to remain at the cutting edge throughout a 32-year career. open.substack.com/pub/oldebor77/…

While on the subject of naming things at @NorthantsCCC - we used to have the George Thompson Suite, honouring the man who batted and bowled Northamptonshire into first-class cricket, until it was re-named a few years ago. Next year will see the 150th anniversary of his birth…

Samuel Richardson was one of the most influential figures in the early years of Derbyshire cricket. Until one day he disappeared, leaving behind a trail of fraud. open.substack.com/pub/oldebor77/…

Fiery Fred didn't always choose his words with great care, but he certainly chose his heroes wisely - here he is pictured with a man he admired enormously, Harold Larwood, at the latter's Sydney home

It’s rare to have two photos of the same on-field moment from the Golden Age. I’ve pieced together this image of C.B. Fry being run-out for 62 during England’s First Innings in the Fifth Test of 1909, taking place at The Oval. 🧵

The long and messy cricketing relationship between amateur and professional was about far more than who was paid and who played out of “love”. open.substack.com/pub/oldebor77/…

In 1898, the six-year-old Richard Henry Abbott ran away from home in Mirfield, W. Yorks, and spent months in a Newcastle workhouse without revealing who he was. Instead he proved a talented teller of "untruths", a skill he carried forward into adulthood open.substack.com/pub/lostlives/…
