I asked a bunch of English spinners, anonymously, about the challenges facing them in county cricket and the realities of their position.
What followed was hours of revealing insight that the game could learn from.

I have spent many hours playing Stick Cricket, so it was very cool to speak to developer Colin Rowe.
Interview with him about how IPL was “life imitating art”, Stick Cricket being used to describe a style of play and it being a “gateway” into cricket.

When Tom Brown co-founded @SACAUK, they tentatively targeted 2028 for its end-point.
Five years in, a piece on an intriguing crossroads and where they go from here:

Lancashire have signed Riva Pindoria from Middlesex, making her the first SACA women's graduate to sign professional terms, while also a victory for the tier-two pathway:

A piece on Sussex, for whom this is a busy winter.
Amid plenty going on, very fortunate to have Matt Walker taking over, especially following Paul Farbrace's exit.
Club are also confident that suspended points deductions for next year won't be activated.

If I've remembered this correctly, Eddie Jack's siblings' middle names are also tributes to the leading British sportspeople of the time - pretty certain there's a Johnson born in 2003 and a Hamilton from around 2007
"Your heart wants it. Everything wants it. But my body just doesn't allow it."
Sat down with Luke Charlesworth, who has retired following a fourth stress fracture in three years.
Admirably honest on what it's like to be forced out of the game so young:

ECB have appointed a long overdue national spin lead in Richard Dawson, which is also simultaneously a major blow to Glamorgan.
Has done a phenomenal job as head coach at Cardiff but leaves now, and looks in England head coach in waiting.

This is a really beautiful piece by @CameronSteel44's father, Jon, on retiring from cricket parenting:

Interview with Ben Cox, who enjoyed an excellent summer but was surprisingly released by Leicestershire at the end of the season.
At 34, he's without a club for the first time and, contrary to speculation, insists he was never offered a new deal.

Jack Lees hit 302* last month, which meant his first 420 first-class runs have come without ever being dismissed - the most in the world.
A piece with him and Billy Mead, who hit 106* in his only game for Kent, about invincibility and averaging infinity.

On why Lancashire have chosen Paul Farbrace, and why Paul Farbrace has chosen Lancashire.
A major blow for Sussex, though, who have lost interim CEO (Mark West), club captain (John Simpson) and DoC, essentially in the space of a week.

This is now confirmed: becomes the overarching director of cricket, overseeing men's and women's sides at Lancs - a blow for Sussex, where he was set to move into a part-time DoC role
Understand that Paul Farbrace is a major contender to become Lancashire's director of cricket:

Middlesex no longer going ahead with an indicative vote on demutualisation at next year's AGM:

Interview with Ed Barnard, Warwickshire's unassuming, title-winning captain.
He only took on the role in March and, for all the plaudits elsewhere, has done an outstanding job:

Fine bowler and a thoroughly good guy. Sad news but a brave, admirable decision, and an open letter well worth reading:
