Happy Birthday to The Middle Stump

This time a year ago, Dan Whiting and Liam Kenna decided to start a cricket blog where we wanted to write about cricket and the lighter side of the game. We wanted to write from a different angle to everyone else.

A year later, having had 160,000 visitors to our website, and 3500 followers on Twitter, and a book to be published next month we are astonished at the response. We've met some fabulous people along the way, especially the likes of Factor 50, but we'd like to say thank you to everyone for the help, support and involvement along the journey.

We promise to keep writing the same old rubbish we always have.
