    Introducing cricket to a new country and audience

    Soooo.... first cricket broadcast in Romania went just fine. A surprisingly good commentary, featuring a well-versed football commentator (EPL specialist) with some interest in cricket and an Indian expat which plays for the Transylvania Cricket Club and speaks Romanian very well, has a nice...

    Cricket Journalism

    I started at 16 writing pieces on Formula 1, books, politics, whatever, and after two years or so I got to show them to an editor. And the rest is history. Look, you might write about yesterday's game and post it here, for us to have a view of your talents.

    Good Lord. And what a game for the first ever cricket broadcast in Romania, about to begin in half an hour - one hour of history. Congrats Holland, nothing is impossible and nothing is "sacred" anymore in world sport.

    Cricket Journalism

    I'm a journalist and from what I gathered in 10 years of practice the essential thing is to have a good eye, open mind and a full sack of words. Tell it like you see it and don't try to sound clever at all costs. Keep it simple and sensible. Practice makes perfect - school won't make such a...

    Introducing cricket to a new country and audience

    And here's the official press release, dated May 29th. Sure I'd lost all hope since it escaped me. ICC confirmed today that Eurosport will be screening ICC World Tw/20 matches from the three venues in England: Lord’s (London), the Oval (London) and Trent Bridge (Nottingham). With teams...

    Introducing cricket to a new country and audience

    Yea, newspaper work, existential troubles and the like. Been following the forums every now and then. Became a baseball fan too (blasphemy, I know). But this piece of news is happiness beyond words for me. Even if I won't get in the commentary booth.

    Introducing cricket to a new country and audience

    I wrote a large e-mail to Eurosport Romania pointing out my history in promoting the game (linking this topic too) and making some terminology points. I can't wait to see if they reply and how will the first broadcasts go.

    New Cricinfo Design

    it began to grow on me... now if only they would import the Gamecast know-how from the American ESPN site which they use for MLB games, that would make for very nice following of at least the important matches. P.S. I just wrote to them about it, got a reply which says they have some new...

    The Warm-Ups...

    Some epic cricket in Netherlands vs. Scotland right now: 1.3 Schiferli to Hamilton, 5 no balls, he's overstepped and the stump is knocked out of the ground! Hamilton comes down the pitch, swings and loses his offstump, and the ball rolls away to the boundary, ouch! Sure enough, the following...
