Patrick Kidd is a journalist and blogger specialising in sport generally, and cricket and rowing in particular. He is currently a sports writer for The Times, where he has been working since 2001,[1] and whose website hosts his Line and Length, "A very English cricket blog". He also appears frequently in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack and The Wisden Cricketer, and is a regular radio and television pundit. His first book, Best of Enemies: Whingeing Poms Versus Arrogant Aussies, was released in early 2009. A second book, The Worst of Rugby, was published later that year.
He also writes a light-hearted personal blog, The Questing Vole, about politics, history, culture and sport, in which he describes himself as "a 1920s eccentric trapped in the body of a 21st-century journalist. Not a very fetching body, either." [2] The blog takes its name from the opening of Scoop, Evelyn Waugh's satire on journalism.
