The Spin | The sleepy English hotel where Bradman and Australia left cricket memories galore

Tucked away on a Peak District hillside is an inn bursting with memorabilia and stories left by touring teamsAs the modern cricketer hops from Crowne Plaza to Holiday Inn, well rewarded and with plenty of time for golf, he or she might feel perfectly content.

‘Through the gate’: how sporting mentors can lead prisoners down a different path | Cath Bishop

Organisations such as 180 Project and Prison Run are helping to prepare prisoners for release with a fresh view on life on the outsideOn the day 700 prisoners in England and Wales were released early, I was driving to Wolverhampton for an event organised by the not-for-profit group ConnectSport. It was to celebrate local sports clubs and initiatives that “help young people believe in themselves and realise what they’re capable of” as described by Ranjit Singh, a local legend in the world of wrestling, martial arts and Kabaddi.I listened to several news cycles that detailed the risks of early release pitched against the intractable challenge of insufficient prison capacity.

Where did Richards go for legal assistance? None other than Roy Cohn.Better known for prosecuting suspected communists during the red scare and mentoring Donald Trump, Cohn turned his attention to fighting for Richards’s inclusion. His firm successfully argued the case – part of the narrative of a new biography, Finding Renée Richards: The Groundbreaking Story of Tennis’s Trans Pioneer by Julie Kliegman. Continue reading...
