Cricket Tragics: January 2014
http://crickettragics.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 January 2014. Pages Of. cricket! In another departure from the hallowed turf of this here blog, we also had a piece published in a fantastic magazine called Pages Of. Which, incidentally, is co-edited by Mrs Tragics). It's loosely about trying to explain why cricket is awesome to people who probably don't care, with some half-baked stuff about social history and national identity. Oh and there's some excellent pictures of Hyde Heath cricketers. Chris, remind me to send you your copies! If, as ...

Cricket Tragics: September 2014
http://crickettragics.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 17 September 2014. HHCC vs Ivinghoe and Pitstone. The irony is, as Charlie pointed out afterwards, that rather than take his rattle away, we had actually returned it to him. He took our largesse not with gratitude but with the kind of attitude that sees fixtures get dropped. Anyway, enough rattle metaphors: to the tale itself. Soon they were 12 for 3. So far so good. And then it happened. But that was not the end of it, not by a long shot. Slip) They were all out for 162. What I&P failed to re...

Cricket Tragics: September 2013
http://crickettragics.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 9 September 2013. HHCC vs Goodwill Wanderers. A bloody win. After a joyless August, the (no longer) mighty Heath registered our first victory since July 28th. With Abbots Langley dropping out on the Thursday, much conferring took place and it was finally agreed that Goodwill Wanderers would be the day's opposition. And what an aptly named cricket team - for they proved a most entertaining bunch, full of abuse directed (as it should be) relentlessly towards their own players. 7 After being horribl...

Cricket Tragics: Hyde Heath, Finland?
http://crickettragics.blogspot.com/2015/04/hyde-heath-finland.html
Thursday, 23 April 2015. Hyde Heath, Finland? So while perusing potential cricket clubs in Finland for whom to ply my not especially desirable services, I came across the aptly named Espoo Cricket Club. According to their website, "ECC is one of the most respected cricket clubs in Finland because of its both on-field and off-field performances." (What does an off-field performance entail, out of interest? Fascinating stuff, you may say, but what does their ground look like? H J F Capper esq.

Cricket Tragics: April 2015
http://crickettragics.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 April 2015. Empire CC, Finland. So far we have had indoor nets every week. These have included not only fielding practice but also warm-ups and motivational team talks. It's a far cry from Hyde Heath, I can tell you. The overall standard is roughly similar, however: I think a match between Empire and the Heath would be a very close run thing. Photos by Jo Hadley.
