The Twelfth Man

Very occasionally, they can make the difference.  A  regular blog about cricket, its history, sport in Wales and sports writing.  Sometimes, I'll metaphorically just be standing at wide third man at both ends.

You will find below links to my previous writing experiences including my book about my father, my blog about my walk around Wales as well as my current study of Glamorgan C.C.C.'s history.  You will also see my reviews of some current as well as some of the pasts best offerings in sports and other writing.

About Me

My name is Stephen Hedges.  I was born in Swansea in 1964 but left Wales in 1972.  As a Welsh exile, I have always held a rather rosy view of my homeland.  It is a view, despite much evidence to the contrary, that remains.  Everything about Wales I see through daffodil- tinted glasses.

 

In 2014 I walked around the whole of Wales, a walk of over 1,000 miles during which I climbed more than four times the height of Everest.  The Boundary of Wales walk raised nearly £4,000 for junior cricket in Wales.

​

Since then I have written the biography of my father, Glamorgan cricketer Bernard Hedges, titled 'The Player from Ponty'.  I am currently researching and writing the history of Glamorgan C.C.C. from 1958 to 1977 for an M.A. in history based at Swansea University.

​

I enjoy writing about cricket, it's history and it's players in particular. I would love to write about Welsh sport and the place sport plays in all our lives in general; from the elite professionals to the recreational amateurs, from the players to the spectators, from the young to the old.
