Introduction to the creator

-

Hello, my name is Xander. I am the creator and founder of the Don't Bowl There cricket blog. I'm a twenty-year-old business studies student currently studying at Ulster University. I have been involved in cricket as long as I can remember, playing my first cricket game at the age of eight. Since I have been playing cricket I have been through the full motions within the game. From winning a school's cup final to losing a cup final in the last over of my own bowling. But this has only led me to love the game even more. 

My passion for cricket extends beyond a playing capacity. Currently I am one of the Northern Knights performance coaches in the Northern Cricket Union. I have coached a variety of different teams within the union. These range from the Under 9 representative boy's cricket team all the way to the senior women's side. My love for the great game has led me to travel to some of the most historic cricket grounds in England. I also had the fortune to be able to attend the first Irish Test match at Lord's on the 24th of July 2019, where I was able to see my idols play at the home of cricket. 

The Don't Bowl There cricket blog isn't your standard ordinary cricket blog. This blog aims to cover as much of the great game as possible. I will post on upcoming international series as well as T20 leagues around the world as well as everything in between and offer an unbiased opinion in the posts. I will also have a few special posts with International Cricketers in the coming weeks. 

My goal for this blog is to help connect and unite cricket fans from all around the world through their passion and love for the game. 

So, sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy reading through this blog.

Welcome back to the Don't Bowl There cricket blog, where we kick off our return with an exciting lineup of high-profile interviews in the days and weeks to come. In our latest instalment, we caught up with Shane Getkate, a seasoned player with a decade-long stint in the NCU, seven of those years dedicated to Instonians CC. Shane, fresh off his triumph in securing the Robinson Services Premier League last season, shared his thoughts on the exhilarating victory. Describing it as a "major honour" and an "amazing feeling," Shane emphasised the unique satisfaction of clinching the league title over the course of a full season, distinguishing it from previous cup victories. Acknowledging the collective effort that led to their success, Shane attributed the triumph to every player's contribution throughout the season. He highlighted the pivotal role of younger talents, citing Jack Dickson's stellar 101* in the final game as just one of the match-winning per...

Interview with Lisburn and Northern Knights All-rounder, James Hunter

In this instalment of the Don't Bowl There cricket blog, I have had the privilege of being able to interview Northern Knights and Lisburn all-rounder, James Hunter. James has been spending the last few months in "the land down under" representing Lane Cove Cricket Club in 1st Grade cricket in Sydney, Australia. During the course of this blog post, James will discuss his experience travelling and playing in Australia along with what his goals are for the 2024 Premier League season. So, James, what made you want to apply to join the ICP Cricket Programme? I felt that it was important to join a cricket programme whilst having a season away as it provides more structure and training volume than simply relying on club cricket training. I think one of the main attractions to the ICP is that it is based in Sydney. Not only is it a very impressive city, but it has a high quality club cricket. More specifically, the ICP seems to be a more intensive setup than most other programmes...
