annoyed me for its sterotypical picture of the County Championship. I started blogging about it and it ended up as a random train of thought about the impact of the www for cricket fans. If your interested its herehttp://matthewlinley.wordpress.com/

I also posted a short video from Scarborough - same place!

Curiously, he failed to mention the WRF.

Thought provoking piece

September 23 2009, 7:56 PM 

It's ironic that a game that is essentially rooted in the 19th Century should find itself so ideally suited to 21st Century Technology - as we prove by the vibrant success of this Forum!
I suspect there are two reasons for this - firstly the essantially cerebral and aesthetic nature of the game itself. And secondly the sheer length of time it takes to unfold - I've never visited a football blog site (although I have no doubt that they exist), but I'm sure they don't have the time and space to analyse a game while it's still in progress - and certainly not to the depth which we occassionally indulge.

Great footage of Scarborough for our far flung fans to enjoy. And a stern riposte to those who say the four day game is an anachronism....

Very good stuff - be interesting to know if James Carnegie Buttler (or JCB for short...) sees this sort of online future for our game..?

Scarborough

David Hopps in th Guardian gave his prespective, the excellent video within the blog gives another. I prefer the one I've just watched.

Great video - it certainly reminds me of very many happy days. I hope some of those wanting to make our club fully Leeds centric watch this. It really demonstrates the "magic" of Scarborough and why it will always be my favourite ground
