Freddie Flintoff is going into the ring. But, Ewan asks, why?

Dave Wilson looks at the 1902 Test at the Oval, commonly referred to as “Jessop’s Match” and asks, was it really?

In the 1990s one cricketing superpower faded and another rose to take its place. In this feature Martin looks back at the two series that saw the baton passed.

With Warwickshire winners of this year’s County Championship, David Mutton revisits their first triumph in 1911.

The game moves on, and wicketkeepers come and go. Alan Knott last played for England more than thirty years ago but, for Martin, he is still the best there has been.

Sometimes it takes a while, in this case more than 35 years, but just occasionally we have to concede that long held beliefs, even prejudices, were mistaken.

Gareth Bland recalls one of the most fascinating limited overs tournaments of the 1980s. Only one week long, the Perth Challenge featured England, Australia, Pakistan and West Indies.

In this feature Martin tells the remarkable story of Sydney Barnes, a true all time great.

In a not dissimilar piece to that concerning Archie Jackson, in this feature Martin looks at the equally short life of another very promising young Australian batsman, Karl Schneider.

Had he ever enjoyed full fitness, and not died at such a tragically early age, Archie Jackson would surely have gone on to be one of the great batsmen.
