A vast resource of cricket news, articles and statistics, the home of cricket on the Internet.

The charity which raises funds for blind cricketers, which you can join if you have been out first ball in any form of cricket.

 

The home-page for the institution that is Test Match Special, with news, views and podcasts from all the regulars, Aggers, Blowers, Boycott,  CMJ et al, plus some past greats remembered - the dear departed Bill Frindall, Trevor Bailey, Brian Johnston and John Arlott.

Although Cricket on BBC Television is a rare thing these days, the BBC’s Cricket website remains a good source of news, views, blogs and scores.

 

The official web site for information about the late, great BBC commentator, who following his death in 1994 at the age of 81, was described by The Daily Telegraph as 'the greatest natural broadcaster of them all'.

 

Also includes information on the Brian Johnston Memorial Trust, a charity set up in Brian's name by his widow, Pauline, to help promising young cricketers in need of financial support to help fulfil their potential, and to support sport for the disabled, particularly cricket for the blind, a cause which Johnners championed for many years.

 

 

Since 1950, The Lord’s Taverners have been raising money to give young people, particularly those with special needs, a sporting chance.

 

The Lord's Taverners, which incorporates The Lady Taverners and the Young Lord's Taverners, is accredited by the England & Wales Cricket Board as the official national charity for recreational cricket.

 

 

'The Most Famous Cricket Club In The World' - the team made up of ex-Test stars now captained by Phil Defreitas, an Ashes hero from until recently, the last time England won a Test series in Australia.  They also count among their ranks former West former captain Richie Richardson, New Zealand all-rounder Chris Harris, and many other fanous names such as Ian Harvey, Henry Olonga, Clare Connor and as of 2011, Darren Gough.

Someone wrote an album of songs all about cricket? Impossible, I hear you say, it could never happen. Wrong! The Duckworth Lewis method (Neil Hannon from The Divine Comedy and Tommy Welsh from Pugwash have done it, with aplomb and a wide amount of acclaim. This Ivor Novello nominated (no really!) album is well worth a listen, especially for a taste of summer in the depths of winter.(Also see the Videos page for one of their live performances).
