Please help spread the word. This shirt is irreplaceable to me and has no value to anyone trying to sell it.

Nasser Hussain pays tribute to Shane Warne with a beautiful rendition of Rudyard Kipling’s ‘If’. Warne’s public memorial service is being held at the MCG in Australia on Wednesday at 1:30pm IST.

Nice to see Laker and Barnes remembered on a display board elsewhere in the park.

For many of us, red ball cricket is the best and purist form of the game. The @ECB_cricket’s neglect of red ball cricket has gone on for too long and needs to stop NOW! Please retweet this post to let them know how we feel. Cricket fans are #seeingred and things need to change!

2020 was a difficult year and we were disappointed not to be able to run Cricket Lovers as normal, however, we are thrilled to announce that, providing the current situation doesn't change, we are back 🙌 and our first guests for October will be Fred Rumsey and Stephen Chalke.

The grave of the great England and Gloucestershire player is looking a little tired. I wonder if anyone of influence with the ECB or the county club could see their way to refreshing it. Fordington, Dorchester, where he spent his final decades.

Cricket pads worn by Don Bradman after the war. Perhaps surprisingly, they are Jack Hobbs branded and were made by FE Bryan of London. Hobbs ran a very successful sports shop in Fleet Street which he claimed earned him more than playing cricket did

Lost one of the great most singular sportswriters over the weekend and a great mate and inspiration to me. Martin Johnson's hilarious cricket reports were the reason many bought The Independent when it first published in the 80s. A unique voice - RIP Jonno...

Ironically, the 5th Earl of Lucan had been Director of the British Red Cross and Order of St John's Missing and Wounded Bureau during the first war. The bureau attempted to trace the fate of men reported missing in action.

I knew I'd find them. One of Sir Len Hutton's MCC tour cases a pair of his pads and boots. I'm sure the boots are from the West Indies tour of 1954/54. A great addition to the collection from one of the world's greatest players.

Very sad to hear of the death of mathematician Tony Lewis, who devised the Duckworth/Lewis method with fellow-Lancastrian Frank Duckworth. Frank and Tony (the tall one on the right) addressed @ACScricket in 2011 and gave us a revised target to work out at the end of their talk!
