Arundel

Sunday I finally got to Arundel to watch some cricket. Sadly Arundel Week disappeared after the pandemic but a Sussex XI were playing the national county Hertfordshire.

I do not suppose many had previously heard of Louis Kimber – but they have now! On the morning of the fourth day, chasing 442 with 5 wickets down, Leicestershire’s chances were forlorn. Then Louis Kimber – at number 8 – came to the crease to score a record breaking 243. He [...]

Sharks triumph & Seagulls still to appoint.

Whisper it softly to Duggie Heath, but I’m beginning to warm to T20 cricket. Last week, in the “red ball” championship, Middlesex and Sussex played out a bore draw in which neither side had a second innings. In contrast, the T20 Vitality Blast match between Sussex Sharks and [...]

Middlesex v Sussex

Yesterday I went to Lords as a guest of Duggie Heath. This fixture in my youth was played on the August Bank Holiday and attracted a crowd of 10,000 but at the most there were 5,000 spectators at Lords with the Edrich, Mound and Tavern stands all closed.
