Narrative:
Landed runway 3 and cleared at taxiway D. Tower cleared us to cross runway 8/26 on delta; left on alpha and contact ground. They did not tell us to hold short of runway 17/35 and it was not in use for arrivals or departures. You know what's coming. Yes; I inferred from all of that that we were cleared to cross runway 17/35. My first officer and I proceeded to visually clear the runway in both directions and started to cross. By this time he had switched to ground and before he could check in; ground cleared us to cross runway 17 and continue on alpha to gate. I relied on our old verbiage; and the fact that these controllers were not using runway 17/35 that day. I should have held short and made sure we were cleared to cross. Also; because the airport diagram shows that runway 17/35 comes up quickly once you make the left on alpha; I should have appraised my first officer to switch quickly to ground once we cleared runway 8/26. Stop short of all runways until you both hear; 'cleared to cross runway xx.'
