Alex Bowden

Alex Bowden is a cricket (and cycling) writer who has previously contributed serious, semi-serious and far-from-serious articles to The Wisden Cricketer, Wisden Cricket Monthly and Wisden.com, as well as Wisden’s quarterly publication, The Nightwatchman. Somehow or other, he has never actually written for Wisden itself. He has, however, also written for several non-Wisden-branded cricket publications, such as ESPNcricinfo, Cricket365 and the Mumbai Mirror, as well as his own website, King Cricket (kingcricket.co.uk), where he has spent the last twenty years wilfully evading all the big stories while covering the England team. Alongside this, he co-hosts the Ridiculous Ashes podcast with Dan Liebke – in large part because Dan has displayed a willingness to call him Alex, rather than King Cricket, which he assures you is a quite excruciating nom de plume to inadvertently land yourself with.
