Cricket’s past is steeped in a tradition of great writing and the Nightwatchman is making sure its future will be too. The Nightwatchman is a quarterly collection of essays and long-form articles featuring an array of authors from around the world, writing beautifully and at length about the game and its myriad offshoots. Contributors are given free rein over subject matter and length, escaping the pressures of next day deadlines and the despair of cramming heart and soul into a few paragraphs.
Contributors so far include Gideon Haigh, James Holland, Patrick Neate, Alex Massie, Anjali Doshi, Rahul Bhattacharya, John Crace, David Tossell, Aakash Chopra, David Foot, Jonathan Wilson, Anand Vasu, Andy Zaltzman, Marcus Berkmann, Osman Samiuddin, Tom Holland, Isa Guha, Jon Hotten, Robert Winder, David Frith, Amol Rajan, Jarrod Kimber, Tanya Aldred, Matthew Engel, Ed Smith, Charlie Connelly, Daniel Harris, Patrick Kidd, Martin Crowe, Mike Marqusee, Tony Cozier, Jonathan Liew, Ivo Tennant, Alison Mitchell, Geoff Lemon, Alec Swann, Anthony McGowan, Nathan Leamon, John Major, Lawrence Booth, Patrick Murphy, Peter Oborne, Dan Norcross, Mike Selvey, Simon Barnes, Michael Holding and many more.
And these folk also love it:
“The Nightwatchman is a triumph. Left-field, laugh-out-loud funny and highly intelligent. A gem.” Ed Smith
“Refreshing and original. It looks beautiful and contains great writing about the greatest of games.” Sir Tim Rice
“In an age of instant comment, it’s heartening to hear it for elegant, witty, long-form cricket prose.” Lawrence Booth, Wisden Almanack editor.
