oldie Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 It's January, City are unbeaten for two games, could there be a better time to talk about Cricket! Well, yes, almost certainly. Anyway, last summer I started writing a blog about returning to watch cricket in the flesh after a long time away. It's not very serious, and fairly nostalgic. More recently, I've been fortunate to chat with some interesting people and post interviews on the site. There are chats with Guardian football writer and author Jonathan Wilson, Radio 6 DJ Gideon Coe, Scientist and broadcaster Dr Adam Rutherford and several more.

oldie Posted February 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 There are a few new cricket related interviews on the site. The latest is with well known QPR fan Robert Elms. Some of you may remember him from his day’s writing for The Face magazine or maybe his excellent show on Radio London which you can listen to via the BBC Sounds App. https://rainstoppedplayinspectionat3.wordpress.com/2023/02/05/robert-elms-interview/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldie Posted February 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Thanks for reading. Yep, he's particularly fond of Test Cricket, not so keen on 100 though. He's not alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldie Posted March 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I recently posted another interview on the site. This time it’s with Chris Geddes of the Glasgow based band Belle and Sebastian. He talks about his very early memories of Gloucestershire, playing cricket in Scotland and winning an amazing cricketing prize as a child https://rainstoppedplayinspectionat3.wordpress.com/2023/03/05/chris-geddes-interview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew one of Belle & Sebastian started life as a Glos fan, neither. Wonder who's next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main man was obviously “Proctorshire” I remember a banner “Jim Foats on water” also Rovers fans massively out- numbering City fans, good day out though as a young teenager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
