Thanks to @FertangFre62008 for a positive review of my @ACScricket book on Richard Letby. Long forgotten, he deserves to be remembered as someone who helped cricket move from a folk pastime to a national sport, and as a pioneer in organising a knockout cricket competition. #York

It is the best part of two hundred years since Richard Letby played his best cricket, so it might be said that this biography is long overdue @ACScricket @CricketWebNet @lonsdale_jeremy https://t.co/SX8gzduxpA

👏 Congratulations to @RafNicholson and @Lonsdale_Jeremy after their books were shortlisted for the prestigious Derek Hodgson Cricket Book of the Year Award 2026!

🏏 Patsy Hendren: A Different Kind of English Hero is the first full biography of one of the most entertaining inter-war sporting personalities. A prolific batsman for Middlesex, he played 51 Tests for England and also appeared 400 times for Brentford. Loved for his antics, there was far more to this unorthodox sporting hero than first meets the eye.

📚 The Women in Whites is the first history of women’s cricket in England, from its 18th-century origins to the present day. Discover how women were involved in the sport from the very start, and have often led the way in innovations. Think you know everything there is to know about the history of cricket? Read this book and think again.

Greville Stevens is always a name that comes up on 1920s cricket without much detail on him, so I look forward to reading the great Max Bonnell's latest biography & learning more about him. Will Max be nominated for book of the year again? @ACScricket @HomeOfCricket #cricketbooks

[Jeremy Lonsdale @lonsdale_jeremy]
