The Nurdler is a well-established blog celebrating the lighter side of all forms of cricket, but focusing primarily on Tests and the four-day English county game.
It was born out of a passion for cricket that resulted when one of us sat down for in front of the TV for ten minutes during the Second Ashes Test in 2005, just to see what was going on – and didn’t move out of the chair for eight hours. Next, a love affair with the BBC’s Test Match Special was born, and a feeling that we may have wasted the first 30 years of our lives by not following the sport – but maybe there’s a season for everything, and your twenties are not necessarily the season for following the ebb and flow of a Test match.
The other one was forced to play the blessed game at school, having hard lumps of leather hurled in terrifying fashion at both head and other more sensitive bits, and therefore doesn’t have nearly such a romantic image of it.
The Nurdler is very active on Twitter, particularly during Test matches, when the batting partnership aims to share the company of many other like-minded (and often long-suffering) fans through the ups and downs of England’s performances. So, if you’re listening (or even watching), pop along and join us. We’ll look forward to meeting you.
Apart from The Nurdler we run a sprawling monster of a motorsport site called Brits on Pole that remembers the legends and cheers on the Brits in open-wheel racing worldwide. We also run a web agency called Onlineability in the small remaining handful of hours when there’s no sport on.
As a result of Brits on Pole we now count racing drivers, a race team and a driver management company among our partners. If you’re a cricketer or cricket club looking for web services, just follow the link above.
