"Just like a man trying to knit."

Once described by Len Hutton as "absurd, just like a man trying to knit", women in cricket have not received the recognition they deserve. This blog seeks to rectify that. I am currently researching a PhD in the history of women's cricket, and as the subject is still in its infancy, that therefore (as far as I am aware) makes me the leading historian of the sport in Britain.

Raf Nicholson
Cricket is my first love; history is my second. Fortunately the PhD allows me to combine the two. I am an England fan. 2005 was the best summer of my life (so far). I am also a feminist. (Feminism is not a dirty word.)
