About the Author
Rick Walton, having been half-decent at football, cricket and most of those ball-juggling adventures, has now been coaching cricket for a living for ten years. Sport is absolutely in the blood. He is also an ECB Accredited writer who attends elite-level cricket - often women's - to report back in his own, genuinely inimitable style. Rick prefers the moniker 'bloggist' to blogger, largely because it feels left-fieldier... and he is that way inclined.
Reviews
"Nobody else is currently writing about cricket, and much besides, like Rick Walton. He may even be Pembrokeshire's Hunter S Thompson..." Brian Carpenter, Wisden writer and award winner.; "Rick is a man who cares deeply and writes energetically - a fine combination. A wonderfully positive presence, be it in the press box or online". Adam Collins, broadcaster and writer.; "This is sports writing of a different kind. If Neville Cardus had somehow collaborated with Jack Kerouac, they might have produced what Rick Walton does here". Paul Mason, writer and broadcaster; "Rick Walton cuts through the pomposity and ego in sport and gets to the issues that really matter. His writing is authoritative, engaging - and provocative when it needs to be. As a writer who works at the grass roots, he also speaks from experience". Ian Herbert, sportswriter, Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday
