Victory in Norwich!
A brilliant evening revisiting the 1954/55 Ashes with @rwhitehead2.bsky.social & @cricketknow.bsky.social sharing an incredible wealth of knowledge. Looking forward to reading ‘Victory in Australia’ and discovering more about this epic Ashes series.

Think that @rwhitehead2.bsky.social
has been quite canny with his #Ashes prediction, really feels like the result of the series has the potential to lurch quite wildly if the first Test is anything to go by.

Latest issue of the Cricket Memorabilia Society magazine has arrived featuring the late England & Warwickshire batter John Jameson on the cover.
The CMS run a great annual programme of events plus the opportunity to meet a host of ex-players, it’s well worth joining.

On Thursday 27 November we’re looking back at the 1954/55 Ashes with @rwhitehead2.bsky.social, author of ‘Victory in Australia’. 🏏
England lost the opening Test but went on to win 3-1.
Playing in the last of his five Ashes series was Norfolk’s Bill Edrich.

In a 2-for-1 special @cricketknow.bsky.social will also be joining us to interview author @rwhitehead2.bsky.social about his definitive account of the 1954/55 Ashes series.

Lovely to get a mention from @huwzat.bsky.social in his notes included with the Ashes Christmas Special issue of @thecricketer.com

Excellent line up of Cricket Memorabilia Society guests at @homeofcricket.bsky.social last weekend - Clive Lloyd, Chris Cowdrey & Norman Cowans. Great memories, insight & views on cricket.
Line of the day from Sir Clive: “T20 is an exhibition, Test cricket is an examination.” 🏏

Everyone’s scouring ‘Victory in Australia’ by @rwhitehead2.bsky.social for clues on how England can overcome losing the first Test and go on to win the Ashes. Just like they did in 54/55! 🇦🇺 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Cricketers from Norfolk who’ve represented the county and played for England in the Ashes.
Bill Edrich, Peter Parfitt & John Edrich.

Bowling attack looks decent but you’re right about the batting. Jack Russell did a Twitter Q&A for us during COVID so technically he does qualify for selection… 🤔

Ashes fever is really starting to grip and we’re so looking forward to @rwhitehead2.bsky.social joining us on Thursday 27 November to discuss the epic 1954/55 series with @cricketknow.bsky.social

Our first two guests of 2025/26 - @jarrodkimber.bsky.social & Huw Turbervill - have both predicted Australia to win the #Ashes 3-2. Wonder what our next speaker, @rwhitehead2.bsky.social - author of ‘Victory in Australia’ - thinks the score will be…🤔

Brilliant evening with @thecricketer.com editor @huwzat.bsky.social at Horsford CC in Norwich. 👏
Entertaining, insightful and an incredible passion for Test cricket, looking forward to getting stuck into The Final Test. 🏏

The Final Test! Tonight, 7.30pm at Horsford CC in Norwich.
October 30, 2025 at 7:56 AM
Looking forward to getting the thoughts of @thecricketer.com editor Huw Turbervill on the future of Test cricket at our next event, Thursday 30 October.
We’ll also be asking Huw for his Ashes prediction; as author of ‘The Toughest Tour’ Huw knows full well the challenge facing England this winter.
