Literally made me day. In fact, the last 102 days of lockdown 🏏🏏🥰🥰 @ECB_cricket #Cricket #highgatewood #strongroom #lockdownuk – at Wandsworth, London
We are delighted that the UK Government have given their permission for recreational cricket to return from next weekend. We will shortly be publishing our approved guidelines to help clubs and players prepare for cricket's return.
Kia Ora dad! #StandAtDawn – at Wandsworth, London
Wrote out a few notes to deliver to the neighbours. Lets hope they check their mail between now and 6am tomorrow. FYI if you live in Mangere/Favona and hear a trumpet playing The Last Post at dawn - its just my old man. 🎺 #StandAtDawn #LestWeForget

close game, down to the final over! Special thanks to Tim for the commentatary and to Pacific for our first #virtualcricket match! Look forward to meeting on the real Wray Cresent pitch in the not to distance summer! #covidcricket #Lockdown
FOUR! FOUR! PCC win by four wickets as @Tom_J_Ireland smashes consecutive boundaries off the first two balls of the final over to finish the game. Another last over thriller masterfully commentated by @iamtherealtim - #covidcricket at its finest. Thanks to @StrongroomCC!
another one behind the wicket! @Dan_Rah takes another one, great length from Gohdi and @PacificCricket needing run a ball
WICKET! Siddiqui feathers behind off the parsimonious bowling of Godhi for 13. Soden the next man in with 40 needed off the last six. Ashraf being brought back on which feels a bold captaincy choice when his first five overs went for 36. 164-6, @StrongroomCC now favourites

plenty of banter on and off the field here. @PacificCricket have really lifted their game since that one time they dropped 14 catches in one match #covidcricket #almostasgoodastherealthing

Another take for keeper @Dan_Rah two quick wickets arresting the flow of runs for @PacificCricket 144/5 30 overs – at Wandsworth, London
Strongroom lost three quick wickets during this part of their innings. @PacificCricket will be hoping their batters fear better. #COVIDcricket
great form here from @PacificCricket batsman Sharma all the way to the boundary for four #covidcricket #strongroom
tight game to far #cummontheroom
Twenty overs down and PCC are 92-3, three runs behind @StrongroomCC's efforts at the same stage, both sides having lost three wickets at this point.
run rate accelerating here with Rashid Ashrif coming into the bowling attack... #covidcricket #strongroom @PacificCricket
partnership looking pretty settled here. Strongroom bowlers looking for a breakthrough here #covidcricket #strongroom
PCC 44-1 from the first ten, required rate is 5.33 so a little bit of acceleration needed but keeping wickets in hand important too. Pacific batsmen so far showing a bit more willingness to go aerial than their Strongroom counterparts.
