Thrilled for Harry Duke today. I went to the game rooting for the Foxes but it was good to see him in the game with runs and a couple of takes behind the stumps. Best of luck if he’s found a new permanent county.

I love how well trained the Blackheath geese are, crossing at the correct point

@JonathanDoidge At the risk of jinxing us, good to see off Abbott this morning. Hope to see you at NMR next week or the pre-Oval get together the week after.

Stewards in the West Stand actively asking if unused seats are available this afternoon. Suggests we’re at capacity elsewhere in the ground.

Enjoying my day so far in Farington. Strictly neutral as we’re in a different group. 😉 The locals seem generally pleased with the venue. It’s set fair despite those ominous clouds. @lancscricket @TrentBridge @YorkshireCCC

I’ve gone through ‘enemy lines’ to check out Farington today ahead of the second @York_C_C tomorrow. Very positive so far. Stewards shepherding folk from the Leyland bus to the ground ( 2 minute walk), friendly staff inside the ground…..

….a decent venue with one main stand for members, seating available elsewhere around the ground, plenty of room for seats plus grassy banks which reminds me of Arundel.

The T20 WC is over but, in about a month, the preeminent league in world cricket returns. Cricket fans over the globe will be glued to it. Some people argue it’s far too long, but you have to leave time for the cream to rise. The County Championship returns on 3 April!
