Sobre IBD

David Mitchell’s connection with cricket began when his grandad took him to Bradford in 1961 to watch Yorkshire play the Australians. It was the start of a lifelong passion for the game. Many hours were devoted to helping in the scorebox, playing Owzthat and listening to Test Match Special. ‘From Snicket to Wicket’ is a personal, nostalgic and whimsical view of a game once played by white-clad players with a red ball. Now it is the opposite.

  • Sixty Great Scottish Cricket Games
    David W Potter
    Cricket is a very old game in Scotland — far older than football, a sport which sometimes exercises a baleful, obsessive and deleterious effect on the national psyche. Cricket goes back at least as far as the Jacobite rebellions and their sometimes vicious aftermaths. It is often felt that Scottish cricket underplays itself. It has been portrayed as in some ways an English spor...

    ’Fifty Shades of Beige’ is my first poetry anthology and, quite possibly, my last. It is a set of poems about life in the retirement years, a subject which has given me much material since I joined the ranks back in 2009. I am indebted to all those who have unwittingly given me inspiration. Names have been necessarily changed in order to avoid legal action. I hope you will enjo...

  • I Am. . .
    David Mitchell
    A phrase we often use when describing ourselves is 'I am.'For many, when we look at ourselves and describe what we see, it is not what God intends. We see ourselves through the lens of the way life has shaped us rather than the vison God has of us. We need the corrective lens of God’s word guided by His Holy Spirit to correct our vision. You might ask, 'What would be different ...
