Tom Penn is one of TheTopBookies' most knowledgeable UK cricket voices, having joined the team in March 2025. With a writing career that spans countless cricket websites and publications, Tom brings experience that few cricket writers can match - covering everything from international fixtures to the granular detail of county cricket.
Before joining TheTopBookies, Tom was a key member of the ball-by-ball commentary team at a prominent live cricket score platform, a role that demands a level of real-time cricket knowledge most writers never develop. Writing live commentary ball by ball sharpens your understanding of the game in ways that conventional journalism simply doesn't - you have to read conditions, tactics, and momentum as they happen, not in hindsight.
At TheTopBookies, Tom applies that same sharp cricket knowledge to his match previews and betting tips, with a particular focus on UK and English cricket markets.
