From growing up on Badric Court Estate in South London, riding out at one of the worst state schools in the UK, to somehow commentating on Cricket at Lords for BBC?

Tears in my eyes, we are up!

Quite a list to choose from...who gets your nomination?

Catching a bit of this Global Super League in Guyana for the first time

Hampshire Hawks vs Lahore Qalandars, seems to be a fair few players missing for both sides

Question: Will a T20 global tournament ever be a success in the modern cricketing landscape?

One thing I've learnt this week...Marco Jansen is very tall

While the rest of the cricketing world rejoices over the Australia-India series, a few brave souls will be watching the "Down Bad WTC Bottom of Table" series between West Indies and Bangladesh

For the love of the game

West Indies are back!

For the 17 of us around the world who have been following Super50 in the Caribbean, today is the semi-final between defending champions Trinidad and Tobago vs Barbados

Squads depleted due to West Indies Tests/Abu Dhabi T10 but Amir Jangoo and Leniko Boucher two batters to watch out for

Pretty much followed the same narrative as the first one, but no complaints, 8/10

Finally got round to reading ''Batting for Time'', good book on the state of the county game and where it could be heading

However, things move so quickly in Cricket at the moment that despite coming out earlier this year, parts of it are already outdated!
