NEW VIRTUAL CRICKET TALKS SERIES
_______________________________
To help cricket fans get a regular fix, the cricket team at
Pitch Publishing has launched a new series of virtual cricketing talks and Q&As,
open to members of the UK cricket societies.
The events will feature
Pitch's cricketing authors and run on Friday evenings at 7.30pm, kicking off on Friday 29th May with former Sussex
and Middlesex batsmen and now umpire Ian Gould, hosted by BBC cricket commentator Mark Church.
Over the years our authors have regularly appeared to speak at events up and down the country, and many had agreed to appear this year.
With this in mind, we have launched a new draft schedule through until the end of November 2020.
For the first three weeks, they will be every Friday with Mark Church in the host's chair, with Ian Gould followed by Dr Colin Shindler and
Aussie-based author Ashley Gray, each talking on the respective subject matter of their books to kick off the series. The programme will then
move to a fortnightly format, with Mark Peel, Tim Brooks, Andrew Murtagh, Richard Clarke, Richard Murphy, Franklyn Stephenson, Nick Green-
slade and Luke Fletcher all set to appear before the end of November.
