The Sheffield Cricket Lovers have bought a new banner to provide a backdrop for their regular meetings, but as the pained combined efforts of four committee members show, the latest purchase is proving harder to erect than anticipated.
Every couple of weeks or so, somewhere in the region of 50 people head to Lees Hall, on the southern outskirts of Sheffield, for an evening in the presence of a guest speaker from the world of cricket.
Sometimes it is a former England international Devon Malcolm, Dean Headley and Craig White are among recent speakers. Other times a coach, commentator or author.
Tonight, they have assembled to hear me ramble about my book, Batting for Time: The Fight to Keep English Cricket Alive, and the uncertain future of the domestic game.
