| Introduction | I have been playing Club cricket for 35 years, mostly in Essex but also for three years in Cheshire. Persevering swing, rather than penetrative pace, best characterised my bowling (before I turned to non-spinning off-breaks). So look out for essays in this blog, rather than pithy epigrams – certainly not twitter-feed. I'll be writing mostly on the Club game – coaching and developing young (and not so young) players, League rules, umpires (always with the greatest respect, of course), why the game isn't as good today as it was when I first started playing... There might be a few diversions into the First Class arena...after all, we all think we know better than the pros and the England selectors! Why "The Teesra"? Saqlain Mushtaq was reputed to be developing a new mystery delivery, back in 2004. It's not clear if this ball ever was ever bowled in anger, or even exactly what the delivery might be, but this blog is dedicated to the ongoing search for cricketing innovation, and to "good cricket" (whatever that might be). |
