Now over three years old, 99.94 offers “Considered Cricket Analysis From Beyond the Boundary”.
The sheer variety on offer is perhaps understandable giving that the three writers come from different parts of the globe: Nestaquin in Sydney, The Trumpet from Tooting (one of our old stomping grounds) via Liverpool and Rajesh Kannan in Singapore.
Like The Old Batsman blog, 99.94 offers a more considered and sober style, but this does not detract one iota from the fact that it is well-crafted and a damn good read for any cricket lover.
Our favourite feature (despite him being an Everton fan) is The Trumpet’s marvellous County Cricket’s Last Over of the Week (now featuring also on Spin Cricket) and its close relation the Final Over of the Day, where the post is distilled into six succinctly written balls (just like an over).
Given that The Trumpet (aka Gary Naylor) is also one of our favourite commentators on Test Match Sofa, it would seem that along with our Dad (who is also a Toffee) we’ve found a second Everton fan to like.

Hi there,
I've been checking out your blog for some time now, and really like the content. Hope to continue to see some quality articles from you.
I, too, am part of a cricket blog / portal which now has 7-10 writers. I wanted to establish a relationship between our blogs, and share each others links. Our blog's name is Third Man Cricket and can be found at:
www.thirdmancricket.com
Our philosophy is that we are a no-nonsense, straight-from-the-heart opinionated cricket portal, wishing to provide our readers with a third person's point of view of the game (the first being the players, the second the followers of the game). Apart from our cricketing insight, we also have some interesting articles on cricket culture and banter mixed in for good measure.
This week, we are launching a special edition "Brian Lara Week", which includes excerpts from a special, in-depth 2 hour interview with the man himself. Do stop by to check it out, and leave us your comments!
