Cricket - the Philadelphia story... The Australians of 1878 by @stevesmith73652 #cricket #Australia #Philadelphia redrosecricketbooks.com/product/983317
🏏 in April is pointless, let’s face it. Authorities are hellbent on carrying on with the 💯. That basically means county🏏 has May, June, July = 13 weeks. I don’t know if county comps viable in that time. If we are stuck with the 💯, is it time to look at the ludicrous names?
A very pleasing review of my book on Leicestershire cricketer Horace Snary - a handful of copies remain for sale! @leicsccc @lcccmembers rutlandhistory.org/newsletters/20…
𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐄𝐀 🆓🏏 We are delighted to confirm we are once again running free entry after tea to all of our home @CountyChamp fixtures this summer. Pop in after work and cheer the Foxes onto victory. 📢🦊
Good luck to everyone involved with @CountyChamp this season including players, umpires, groundsman, administrators and most importantly spectators, young and old, who help keep this great competition thriving (excited to be painting the start of the cricket season later today!)
What an utterly brilliant way to present the 2023 sewage dumping data. Just enter you postcode. 👋👋👋 Deserving of an award me thinks. theguardian.com/environment/ng…
And here they are 👇 the men and woman responsible for dumping 14,027,654 hours worth of sewage into the environment over the last 5 years and helping pollute every single river in the country. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the board of @Ofwat. "In the name of God, go".
Now have a cover for my book on @NorthantsCCC captains, out from @PitchPublishing in June. Faces On A Wall: An English County’s Curious Collection of Captains amzn.eu/d/e1ZwHmA #Amazon via @amazon
Well, that’s the rest of admin’s day sorted. 🍿 According to Google, I can watch this 610 more times before the day’s out. 🤣

Two great test matches on two different continents Congrats @englandcricket and @windiescricket #INDvENG #AUSvWI Lets do all we can to keep #TestCricket alive worldwide for those who #loveit #special
A fantastic day for cricket in general and Test cricket especially. Two amazing matches on two continents should remind even the greedy ICC and major boards that this format not only has a future but is vital to the game. #INDvENG (BBC/Getty)
It really is. It’s not a “format” , that demeans it and puts it on a comparative platform. It’s incomparable.

Even I enjoy some white ball cricket, but after today's events is it really possible for anyone with any interest in cricket not to prefer the red ball game? What a great day for Test cricket
