About me

Introduction	Just because there are no female cricket writers out there, it doesn’t mean that women don’t understand or have opinions about the wonderful game that is cricket! This blog then, is a space to voice opinions, debate hot cricket topics or simply just express any cricket-related views. After all, if there is one thing that CricketChicks love just as much as watching cricket, it’s talking about it!
Favorite books	Cricket Chicks Favourite Cricket Books (Well, what else would they be) : - 1) More Than A Game: The Story of Crickets Early Years by John Major - Beautifully thought out and beautifully written. 2) Start the Car: The World According to Bumble by David Lloyd - Hilarious. 3) Ashes Victory: The official story of the greatest ever Test series in the team’s own words by The Professional Cricketers Association - Always good to relive the 2005 Ashes Series and great to get an insight from the players themselves. 4) Following On: A year with English Cricket’s golden boys by David Tossell - Interesting to see how some succeed where others fail. It’s a cruel sport sometimes. 5) Cricket and National Identity in the Postcolonial Age edited by Stephen Wagg - A bit of History for you. Actually, very interesting and thought provoking. 6) Behind the Shades by Duncan Fletcher - See if it changes or reinforces your opinion on a man with an ambiguous reputation. 7) Time to Declare by Michael Vaughan - England’s most successful Test captain to date, so must be worth a read. 8) The Ultimate Test: The Story of the 2009 Ashes Series by Gideon Haigh - Always good to remember England’s victories. 9) Netherland by Joseph O’Neil - Not technically a cricket book, but a great novel which uses a cricket team in America as its foundation. 10) Hopefully a book about England’s historic victory down under in the 2010/2011 series! Fingers crossed anyway.
