Minden Cricket

Thoughts and musings -- mostly about Test Cricket - from the publisher of that fine cricket board game Minden Cricket.

Splendid if hot day at Lord's yesterday enjoying the first women's Test Match at the famous ground. While the stands look empty in this shot the other half was packed and buzzing. Excellent day.

@englandcricket "Don't under estimate how much hurt we have gone through ... ". Who cares? How about a little compassion for those who spent a shedload on Sky subscriptions or, even worse, trips to Oz to watch this drivel.

[Minden Cricket @mindencricket]

@englandcricket Ha ha. "I think what has been most impressive is the attitude towards that learning" ... hilarious. So much corporate waffle and it fails at the first test - Mr Preparation himself (Baz) is turning up a few days before the first test. Honestly, you cannot make this stuff up.

@bbctms I respect Stokes but this is quite tone deaf. He won't be seeing me at the June Test for the first time in a long while. When his mates are gone I will return.

[Minden Cricket @mindencricket]

@SenseInACesspit @bbctms ha ha - very amusing ;-)

[Minden Cricket @mindencricket]

@StickToCricket The flat track bullies have two mediocre teams to play against this summer so all will be well. Carpet. Swept and Under come to mind.

[Minden Cricket @mindencricket]

And we're back for 2026 after a (ahem) brief hiatus. New annual set and Sheffield Shield sets out in April. Will probably give the 2025/26 Ashes Series Set a miss for now ;-)

The #ECB's #Ashes2025 review has begun with specialist mediators brought in to examine England's performance.

@TrentBridge Awesome work and a big congrats to the YT streaming team and BBC for great coverage, especially of the moment you got the batting point to nab the trophy. Excellent stuff!

[Minden Cricket @mindencricket]

@ICC @JayShah As they say in the classics. Yikes.

[Minden Cricket @mindencricket]

@erniep6969 Yes, you can use all of the set with this PDF version. It is the full game, so the same as the physical game but in PDF form.

It's a golden age of domestic cricket viewing. Quality varies but it's better than the alternative - a blank screen.

The Championship was awesome while now we have the #OneDayCup with @cricketvictoria v @crickettas while working on a Minden Cricket Card Set.

@SkyCricket Argh, only one more game to go - summer has gone so fast this year.

Cracking footage of Harold Larwood taking a wicket in 1933. Like what you see? Play him in your own replay of the Bodyline series and Minden Cricket, the statistically accurate cricket sports replay board game.

[Historic Cricket Pictures @PictureSporting]

Clips of Harold Larwood in action at Adelaide, 3rd Test, January 14th/16th 1933. Given he was only 5'8" tall and around 11 stone he generated fearsome pace which allied to his accuracy made him a key to Bodyline
