ASSOCIATED STAMPS are those which are
issued by Bona-fide Postal Authorities around the world, but whose CRICKET theme is not
readily apparent - serious enthusiasts have researched the subject and found interesting
"Associations" with the game, which are usually explained in the text.
{NOTE: Because so many issued stamps
can be "Associated" with CRICKET, indirectly, or in some cases, obtusely, these
items listed below give details ONLY as a reference, of issues previously discovered or
researched by "ENTHUSIASTS". It is up to each individual collector to decide how
far to go in the definition of "Associated" stamps - otherwise you may run the
risk of lining the pockets of unscrupulous dealers or agents who may find a way of
"unloading" material onto a market which collects "everything". It is
your choice!}
