It’s an absolute honour to have my book shortlisted for this award.
And as I’m bound to be the shortest surely I have a chance 😬

I need sympathy. I’ve just had 75 minutes at the dentist having a root canal. It is starting to ache like hell now PLUS it cost me over £400 - that’s A LOT of books I need to sell 🥲

Spotted in Freemantle, Australia - making the most of an early finished test… the legendary Bernie Wilson reading my book @Fairfield books _ with the Chair of Sussex CCC Jon Filby photobombing… ❤️🏏

Absolutely stunning light today - perfect for a walk for a welcome pint at The Turf Locks Hotel - those roast dinners looked amazing too! #Devon

We have knee jerk reactions these days -you’re either hero or villain. Surely we just need to reassess, learn from mistakes, actually listen to those in the know rather than dismiss them as ‘has-beens’ & be flexible with your Bazball plan? And VALUE YOUR DOMESTIC FIRST-CLASS CRICKET #TheAshes

A final video for @MattersCounty from @HarryEverett_14 for this test match - this time with Dan Jadz #TheAshes

This isn’t really a test match - it’s two T20s on top of each other 😬 #TheAshes

And here’s the teatime report from Harry Everett - coming thick and fast (once I woke up!) - I think he’s right it may be over tonight but not in the way he thought… or any of us thought! #TheAshes

Goodnight All. See you after the first ball… I so love a test series - I wish all tests were given so much coverage & media interest. #TheAshes

Harder than Monty V Smith handbags, more beautiful than a Stuart Broad airport poster. The #BishopandBear take on Aussie duo Cat and Dan. It’s your perfect pre Ashes listen so fill yer boots here:

I’m so jealous of anyone that has gone to The Ashes. I will be getting up in the dark, wrestling with my warm duvet to freeze my arse off to bring you commentary from my icicle of an office in Devon. I will be joining the wonderful @guerillacricket.bsky.social team & it will be worth it - Join us.

Definitely a sofa day today & time to finish this fascinating book on Windrush Cricket by Michael Collins. West Indian cricketers & The Ace programme as well as Haringey Cricket College are all given the space they deserve. Well researched & told.

With the proviso that I’m always wrong - predictions for The Ashes
3-2 to Aus. No draws.
2 of our bowlers sent home with injuries. Oz losing 1 of theirs.
Centuries - Eng 4 Aus 7.
Six 5-fors on both sides. Little spin.
1 face to face row on the pitch & countless vitriolic headlines.
Little sleep!
