Greetings

Well, I'm starting this blog because I want to talk about cricket. I love the game of cricket, and very often I feel I have something I want to say about the game, or about current happenings in the cricket world. So I decided to start a dedicated cricket blog, as distinct from my main blog.

Some features of this blog may include: live match commentary (not ball-by-ball obviously), match/series reviews, discussion of issues in the cricket world, sharing of the views of other (more reputable) cricket commentators, & other general cricket discussion. Or anything that comes to mind, I haven't really thought very far ahead, to be honest.

A bit about me: I'm a young cricket fan from Brisbane, Australia. I've enjoyed cricket since I was a kid, but only in recent years have I found a keen interest and passion for the game. Personally I'm a budding quick bowler, and am also trying my hand at leg spin. And, admittedly, I'm a hopeless batsman, but always trying to improve. Apart from a stint with Valleys District Cricket Club when I was in primary school, I've played mostly for my school up until now. I am looking to join the University of Queensland Cricket Club this year for the 2013-14 Summer season (being a first-year at said university, studying law and journalism).

This blog was begun shortly after Australia's shambolic 4-0 series loss to India in 2013. My first real post, therefore, will be my selections for Australia's Ashes squad. Look forwards to it!
