The story of cricket is littered with big stories, like Bodyline, underarm balls and tycoons changing the game. But, like Tony Greig checking out the pitch with his keys, sometimes things fall through the cracks.

Sticky Wickets takes a look at stories both big, small and perhaps forgotten. From bees and their dislike of cricket to a storm caused when a cameraman criticised a Test player's fielding. It's perfect to pick up when rain delays play.

For the last two decades as a journalist, Glen Humphries has reported on all sorts of things–movies, TV, transport, politics, industry. Pretty much everything except sport, funnily enough. He grew up in the era of World Series Cricket and still reckons the West Indies had the most frightening pace attack of all time. As an author he writes and publishes his own books atlastdayofschool.net. He's written two books about the weird side of rugby league–Biff and Jack Gibson's Fur Coat and felt the time was right to turn his focus to cricket. He lives in Wollongong, where he likes to sit on the lounge and watch the Big Bash League every summer.
