    "I wanted to get at Victor Trumper": An interview with Wilfred Rhodes

    I should say that I'm also looking to adapt some transcripts from the pre-audio era. Anyone fancy himself a voice actor?

    "I wanted to get at Victor Trumper": An interview with Wilfred Rhodes

    Only with Patrick Ferriday's permission. He paid a good chunk of money for the copyright. But I have a few other little-known interviews with Golden-Age greats I'll be releasing in the coming months.

    A song for the 1878 Australians

    Nothing I've said here undermines your position as to its impact. What I've been arguing against is the notion that it ought to have been classified as a Test Match.

    Frank Laver in colour

    Appreciated. I have something very ambitious in the pipeline. Whether I can execute it properly I'm not yet sure, but it'll be quite something if I pull it off.

There were only a couple hundred in the crowd to see them at the start of play. Fun fact, which has fallen down the memory hole...

    A song for the 1878 Australians

    The early visiting teams to England inherited from Clarke's and Parr's dying professional itinerants the title "All-England Eleven," which is about as representative as one can claim to be. MCC, in contast, put out dozens of teams, of vastly varying quality, all season and every season, none of...
