  • I think those speed guns are a load of crap. Somehow the white ball goes faster - I bowled 83-84mph in the Test match, and 93mph in the one-dayers. It's crazy. I hadn't bowled a ball for ten days.

    Support The Corridor

    By Will 2 years ago, mid-August Leave a comment on this post

    First of all, my apologies in sinking so low…but this is a genuine request for support, as the blog is entering new territory. Traffic is at an all-time high, which of course is great - and welcome to you if you’re new - but it’s becoming increasingly difficult, financially, to support it. I need some help!

    Already, since the beginning of July, we’ve received 1,179,102 hits up until August 12. On average this year, it’s growing by 200-350,000 hits month on month and is denting my wallet considerably.

    If you enjoy the site, find my mumblings interesting and want to support it, please do. Even a small donation is enormously helpful. If you’re from a company and are interested in advertising here, do get in contact. I’m in talks with a couple of large sporting companies, but neither of these seem likely to happen.

    I’m aware of the pathetic, sickly nature of this post and I apologise. And one day, I’m sure a company or service might be keen on supporting us and helping it to grow…but in the meantime, the peanuts and scraps from the faithful will have to do!

    This will be the last beg for dosh, I promise. On the plus side, I do have some exciting competitions for you in the next month or two which I hope makes up for this pathetic post. Click below if you’re feeling generous, no problem either way. I’ll get my coat.

    Will, I think your blog is great even though some of your views make me want to beat you over the head with a big stick!

    I’d be happy to donate but don’t do paypal. Is there any other way?

    I’m amazed you’re getting that many hits but not more comments. Are most people too shy?

    Don’t do paypal either, but you know me. Will be back in the UK in 10 days and will send you some beer tokens as thanks for all the fun. We have to kep this blog going!

    Are you going to be at the C&G Final? Buy you a beer perhaps?

    Hi girls - no problem. Had a few donations (Jim and Jess particularly generous - mags in the post, chaps!) but…anyway. Enough pleading. Wraye, I think I might have a day off for the C&G so, hangover permitting, might pop along. Let you know beforehand. Rock on.
