Blog of the Month (April) King Cricket

[mas cambios]

Welcome to the blog of the month for April (and little bit into May as well). This month I’ve chosen a blog that we've had linked on the forum for a little while now, King Cricket.

King Cricket has been going since January 2006 and moved to its present home in the August of 2007 and continued to grow strongly. With an insightful look at cricket from the first class game to the test arena, not to mention the top feature ‘Animals being indifferent to cricket’, it provides a nice counter to the more usual cricket outlets. I mean where else will you find a cat doing a Ryan Sidebottom impression?

The latest posts are taking a look at the ones to watch in the forthcoming county season, with Will Jefferson currently being profiled, in the unqiue King Cricket style:

A lot of our better updates have been about Will Jefferson. This is partly why we’re watching him for the third season in a row.

We’re mainly watching him like a child with no concept of what’s socially acceptable though; with our mouth agape, pointing and saying ‘why has that piece of scaffolding got a face?’

In ancient history Jefferson’s ancestors smote humans or enslaved them for the construction of gargantuan underground tunnels linking the continents of the world. Maybe this season Will Jefferson will smite county bowling attacks and enslave cricket supporters for thoughtful ‘maybe Will Jefferson’s ready for England’ letters to the local paper.

So, as always, pay the blog a visit and show it some love. You may learn something, you may not but as always, you can never have too many views on cricket.

Long live King Cricket!
