About

Honest Cricket Journal is for readers who enjoy the game and want to notice more of the world around it. We explore the grounds, seasons, customs and local play that shape cricket beyond the score.

What we cover

Our subjects include the changing feel of a cricket ground, matchday routines, local games and the ways season and setting influence how people experience cricket. We favour focused, evergreen pieces that help readers look again at familiar details.

Who it is for

Whether you follow every ball or are finding your way into the game, you are welcome here. We write for curious readers, not only specialists, and explain the details that make a place or custom worth noticing.

How we look

We approach cricket with a tinkerer’s curiosity: observe the detail, try an explanation, and be candid when an idea does not quite hold. We aim to distinguish what is known from interpretation, avoid pretending one experience speaks for everyone, and keep the game’s many settings in view.
