A Woman In The Pavilion: The statistical relationship between cricket and pants

http://awomaninthepavilion.blogspot.com/2012/05/statistical-relationship-between.html

A Woman In The Pavilion. Random crickety bits from a FEMALE (gosh! Sunday, 6 May 2012. The statistical relationship between cricket and pants. This blog entry is just a little bit Women's Magazine. There is cricket (obviously) but in relation to Other Girlie Stuff (not Icky Girlie Stuff, don't panic). Just so you know. The main thing is this: women who are genuinely into cricket for the cricket. Because really - cricket? A while back, I mentioned a man who had made the big mistake of casting aspersions o...

A Woman In The Pavilion: June 2012

http://awomaninthepavilion.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

A Woman In The Pavilion. Random crickety bits from a FEMALE (gosh! Monday, 18 June 2012. Today I had an appointment with a lawyer to talk, among other things, about wills and sorting out the future. Something she said a couple of times was along the lines of, "Well, you're quite young but you never know when something might happen". And that was when I started crying again because those words have hit home so hard today. And I'll miss you, Tom. I'll miss you. I want to say more, but I can't. Surrey v Sha...

A Woman In The Pavilion: Your team sucks, so there!

http://awomaninthepavilion.blogspot.com/2012/06/your-team-sucks-so-there.html

A Woman In The Pavilion. Random crickety bits from a FEMALE (gosh! Sunday, 10 June 2012. Your team sucks, so there! I touched on one of the losses. A while back and I said then that Middlesex didn't win that game, Surrey lost it. My opinion on that hasn't changed. Surrey are suffering what England did during the winter. They have a lot of talented individuals and a huge amount of potential but they are not putting those things together into a working team unit. They still. A dead loss. They need to s...

The Old Batsman: March 2015

http://theoldbatsman.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

The consolations of a cricketing life. Saturday, 21 March 2015. KP: The One Who Knocks. Amid the power and the glory of Breaking Bad. Came the moment in season four when Walter White at last articulated to Skylar, his panicking wife, his transformation from terminally ill middle-aged chemistry teacher to badass drug kingpin. Are we in danger? She asks him. Are you going to answer a knock at the door and get shot? I'm not in danger, Skylar." Walt rages at the end of one of TV's great monologues. There is ...

The Old Batsman: May 2014

http://theoldbatsman.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

The consolations of a cricketing life. Saturday, 24 May 2014. One (thousand) run(s) in May. Last season was probably my worst ever with the bat. I remember clearly driving home from the final game feeling relieved that it was all over. I've been long reconciled to the idea that I'm not going to get any better. But I didn't really plan on getting much worse. Either. A sort of gentle decline which nonetheless contained flashes of old glories and was compensated by extra nous. Was more what I had in mind.

The Old Batsman: September 2014

http://theoldbatsman.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

The consolations of a cricketing life. Sunday, 28 September 2014. After one of my worst seasons ever with the bat last year, I began 2014 by scoring one run in May. Compadres for all-time, me and that run; a prod to extra cover for a harassed single.) Something had to give. Maybe it would be me. I just wasn't sure any more, and batting has always demanded a kind of certainty - of footwork, of judgment, of many things that I was no longer certain about. Oh come on.' I said. What's it going to hit? So I ri...

The Old Batsman: June 2015

http://theoldbatsman.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

The consolations of a cricketing life. Monday, 22 June 2015. No one knows who they were, or. What they were doing.'. So sang Spinal Tap. Of the druids, and driving past the neolithic majesty of Silbury Hill on the way to Avebury CC, with bleary revellers, blissed-out new agers, wide-eyed truth seekers and bedraggled hippies wading through waist-high grass, strewn in road-side ditches and crashed out by camper vans, it was obvious that our prehistoric past retains all of its mystical pull. Close your eyes...

A Woman In The Pavilion: The Lie in "Fine"

http://awomaninthepavilion.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-lie-in-fine.html

A Woman In The Pavilion. Random crickety bits from a FEMALE (gosh! Monday, 25 November 2013. The Lie in "Fine". In some ways, that's harder. You feel that you need to justify your mental illness with some catastrophic event. And, if you can't, it can feel like there's no choice but to put on the mask and tell everyone you're fine. This is a story about lies, being fine, and how a friend helped save my life. What makes you think you need a psychiatrist? Well, I have a long history of depression. It turned...
