We’re really thrilled to have teamed up with Pitch Publishing who have kindly arranged a series of virtual cricket talks throughout the summer and autumn for us and the other cricket societies in the UK.

The opening talk in the series on Friday 29th May featured former Sussex and Middlesex batsmen and now umpire Ian Gould and was hosted by BBC cricket commentator Mark Church.

165 participants enjoyed a fun and insightful evening with topics covered including sandpapergate, DRS and playing with – and umpiring – many of the greats of the game including Imran Khan, Clive Rice, Ricky Ponting and Virat Kohli.

Talks during June include Colin Shindler on Friday 5th, Ashley Gray on Friday 12th and Mark Peel on Friday 26th, all talks start at 7.30pm are broadcast via the Zoom platform.
