Aussie Cricket Lover is a blog site maintained by The Umpire. It contains the musings of one dedicated Aussie cricket lover. As the name suggests, The Umpire is an Aussie cricket lover, not merely an Aussie cricket fan; he loves the game for its all its intricacies, waxing and waning of momentum, tactics and strategy. He is human – he likes to see Australian win but doesn’t always expect them to and is the first to agree things often get more interesting when they don’t. The Umpire tries his best to reflect upon topics less widely covered in the media and attempts to avoid repeating the consensus (although, let’s face it, this is sometimes difficult).
