County Championship and Sheffield Shield seasons are coming to Minden Cricket - with the first season off the rank to be the 2005 County Championship.

Over the past few days I have been experimenting with AI to see how it might help create a number of new Pitch Behaviour Cards for Minden Cricket. The game itself comes with some examples of these, but I wanted to see if AI could provide detailed and credible Pitch Behaviour Cards for Test grounds around the world.

For those who use Windows and the latest version of Excel, the Minden Cricket Assistant is a real time saver for those who play this fine cricket board game. It both keeps track of the various rules as well as handling scorekeeping.

We have revised where we update on Social Media and have moved the main place for updates about Minden Cricket and comments on cricket in general to BlueSky.

My relentless quest to produce Advanced Cards for all of the Ashes continues at a pace (that is to say, a snail’s pace, as some wag recently suggested). None-the-less I have managed to produce Cards for a couple of cracking good series that played out back to back in 1954-55 and 1956.
