Results tagged “cricket” from Birmingham Post - Sport Blog

I mentioned here in my first contribution that I was curious to find out just who reads The Birmingham Post's sports pages.
It's a topic I expect to develop much further in the coming weeks but after the first few weeks of the season, I'd love to know if Warwickshire's cricketers do.

Sometimes, I have to remind myself that this is the best job in the world. I've been a sports fan all my life; one of my first memories is being in floods of tears the night England's footballers went out of the 1970 World Cup in Mexico City; one of my favourite memories is watching from the press box as Tamworth won the FA Vase at the old Wembley in 1989; one of the things I want to do before I die is watch a Major League Baseball game in the United States.
I get paid moderately well to spend my working hours reading about sport, looking at pictures of sport, talking about the best ways to cover sport in The Post. I work with people I like who (mostly) share my love of sport and, yes, I do very, very, occasionally get into sports events for nothing.
And now, the editor's gone and made the job just that bit better by asking me to blog about sport.
