< 1 minute read Being as this website is pretty much written by one person and being as you read this website, it shouldn’t be all that outlandish to suggest that you read something we’ve written elsewhere. Yes, we know that the comments are the main thing here, but even so, surely something must

< 1 minute read The Tour de France starts on Saturday. We’ll be writing about it daily over at our cycling site. We’re going to try and do one piece after each stage, which should be nice and manageable for busy, successful individuals like yourselves. This week’s preview week, so if you’re remotely interested,

< 1 minute read There’s too much emotion in cricket these days. We need to get back to a world where wickets are celebrated with a handshake, team spirit is expressed with a warm handshake and contempt for the opposition is conveyed via a firm handshake. We’ve written about how everyone’s far too het

< 1 minute read Shut up. We don’t do it often. For the next three weeks (crashes permitting), Bradley Wiggins will be attempting to win the Giro d’Italia, the second-biggest race in cycling.

< 1 minute read The great thing about making no discernible progress in life is that when there isn’t anything you want to write about, you know where to look to find what you wrote five years ago. On the 16th January, 2008, this website was updated not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES.

< 1 minute read And why? We think we might be interested, but we reserve the right to change our opinion should you write 3,000 words without any line breaks. Our favourite cricketer was Waqar Younis, as you’ll know if you used to read what was then The Wisden Cricketer. We don’t think the

< 1 minute read The site has been offline for a day. We were moving it to new hosting. Thank you to Prince Stickball for his assistance in this. Hopefully the site will run a bit more quickly and reliably now. Apologies to those of you who’ve been repeatedly checking the site for updates

< 1 minute read Buy The Cricketer. We’ve a thing in it. “Was Don Bradman really the greatest batsman? Is Test cricket the pinnacle? Was it definitely better in your day? It’s time to bust some myths, says Alex Bowden.” Only we didn’t say that. That’s not the kind of thing we say. We
