Here are all the articles from our ‘nostalgia’ category. It’s time for a trip down memory lane. You’ll also find Maxie reminiscing about some of England’s signature victories here.
I've been too busy this week to think about the ODIs. Sorry. With all the rain around they sound like a damp squib anyway - although it was good to see the lads pick up a win in a T21 yesterday. In the meantime Alan Gibbs is back with an article about [...]
Today I'd like to introduce a new TFT guest writer. His name is James Wilson. He's a cricket author and former lawyer. I enjoyed this, and I think you will too ... Peter Jackson Eastwood’s entertaining feature on dibbly dobbler medium pacers is a reminder that cricket fans, especially English ones, have [...]
It is with great regret I conclude that the British public have lost our minds. We’ve spent the summer basking in a heatwave: sun-worshipping and blaspheming. These rising temperatures are no cause for celebration. For as the summers get hotter and hotter, our cricket pitches get drier and drier. And with such [...]
As we've already previewed the upcoming 2018 series, and done the Adil Rashid thing to death, I thought we'd warm up for the test match with a trip down memory lane. Here's friend of the site Haroon Khalid with his memories of the famous 1990 summer. Does the number 333 ring any [...]
Today we have the second part of Paul Potter's piece remembering some great Ashes moments from an Australian perspective ... Adelaide 2010 Bell and Pietersen didn’t play a Test together in the ’09 Ashes. It was the latter’s injury that allowed the former back into the team at Edgbaston. Come the next [...]
First of all we should congratulate Hants on their splendid win in the Royal London Cup Final at Lord's. It was a pretty comfortable win in the end. Hants started the game strongly with the bat, and Kent never really looked like chasing the runs. Rilee Rossouw made a fantastic century, with [...]
Don't be misled by my (admittedly misleading) headline. Unlike some writers I'm not about to argue that the current England ODI team is our best ever. Indeed, I've heard some argue that it's the greatest ODI side in history (out of every nation) full stop. This seems more than a little silly [...]
Today our Aussie friend Paul Potter looks back on some classic Ashes moments from an Australian perspective. It's good to remember that we've caused the old enemy some pain over the years in the test arena. It hasn't always been one-way traffic! Enjoy folks. This is part one. The second part will [...]
It was my tenth wedding anniversary at the weekend, so my Mrs and I took a trip down memory lane and stayed at the hotel where we got married. "That's all very well" you might say "but on earth has this got to do with cricket"? It's because the one thing I [...]
The first home test of 2018 begins today when England face Pakistan at Lord's; therefore we're going to bring you a touch of nostalgia to put you in the mood for some good old fashioned test cricket. New guest writer Haroon Khalid, who is a bit of a fearsome fast bowler himself, [...]
