Summer Days Promise

Well-educated freelance cricket writer Paul Edwards would be sent down from the university of life. He reads, writes and watches cricket. He cannot drive, swim or even ride a bicycle. The simplest practical tasks defeat him. His reporting of outground cricket has resulted in him spending more time in tents than an agoraphobic Bedouin and one of his happiest memories is of eating asparagus and hollandaise sauce on a wet Wednesday afternoon at Tunbridge Wells. He has written on cricket for The Times, ESPNCricinfo, Wisden Cricket Monthly, The Cricketer, Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack and a host of other publications. He still thinks ‘digital’ refers to fingers and frequently refers to Radio 3 as the Third Programme. He once had a letter read out on TMS.
