This concept was drawn up long before I broke down with injury and ended up missing the start of the season. It means that I haven’t been on the road as much as I might have liked but I have still managed to get the ball rolling with the following.

With a distinct lack of video-based cricket entertainment on the web, I have set about with a friend to produce candid footage of your favourite county cricketers, warts ‘n all, in front of a camera answering questions that they may or may not feel comfortable doing. It won’t just include cricketers though. The two men that stand in the middle trying to control the rabble that play county cricket, also have their say, as well as stalwart supporters, and the people that see more than they may wish – the dressing-room assistants and bus drivers!

I am in charge of gathering this footage. I am by no means Steven Spielberg, and it is definitely a work-in-progress. However, I do feel that it all adds to the uniqueness of the site! I can gain access to players that other journalists cannot. I know most of the players personally and feel comfortable asking them whatever I feel the urge to.

We think that we might have hit a gap in the market on this. It’s not your normal news-site, or even your standard video-blogging site. It’s something completely different. It will entertain and enable you to see cricketers in a different light to previously.

Keep an eye out for the site going live soon. Hit www.switchhitcricket.co.uk to view the early stages and promote as much as possible!
