“Interested in writing about cricket and getting read world wide?”
Dear Reader,
Since starting cricketviewpoint.com we have been overwhelmed with the
response. We did of course expect to get readers from the Test playing
nations. And we have got them.
But what has staggered us is readership from places such as Sweden, Japan
and Finland! Cricket is truly international now.
Which brings me to a very important question…..
Would you like to contribute to this site?
You should know up front it doesn’t pay – but maybe you are interested in
seeing your work here. Importantly, you are also interested in others seeing
your work. Globally.
If so, here is what we are currently on the lookout for.
Covering the matches
We are looking for a few individuals with strong, distinct writing voices. If
you already have a cricket-blog, or have your own forum for writing about
cricket - this probably isn’t for you.
It is intended for probably two types of writers:
1. You want to make it eventually in the game of cricket reporting.
You aspire to become the next Harsha Bhogle, Peter Roebuck, Jonathan Agnew,
or Christopher Martin-Jenkins in the future.
This will provide you the perfect platform to hone your skills, build your portfolio,
personal brand equity and reach out to a global audience.
2. You just love discussing and reporting on the game
On the other hand, you may not have any aspirations to be a career cricket
writer. Maybe you just love discussing and reporting on the game.
In either case, you are the perfect contributor to the site.
We are looking for reports on the games being played –
Test Cricket and One Day Cricket.
Currently you could report on the current India West Indies series or
the Sri Lanka – England series. The Ashes is coming up this Australian
summer too. Should be a really cool series.
In addition to covering the matches, you could write about any aspect
related to the game of cricket (within reason of course).
Umpires, players, selections, the selectors, cricket tours, cricket grounds,
cities, cricket equipment, training, player interviews, rules, decisions- all
are fair game for discussion.
It could be perspectives and/or off-beat point of views.
Let the passion flow.
In short, anything and everything related to the game of cricket.
Ready to contribute? If so,
The next step would be to…

If you are serious and interested, please send us a sample entry, writing on
any cricket topic that catches your fancy.
If you know anyone else who may be interested in writing,
let them know of this offer.
We are also open to other ideas and suggestions - if you have another
idea on how you might like to contribute we are all ears (or eyes).
Looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Cheers
Sandy
