Whilst this current England regime have poo-poo’d county cricket as being of no use to international cricket. Turns out some of the things you learn playing county cricket might actually be quite useful.

(Very) Generally speaking, Test cricket has been played the same way for 150 years. There’s a reason for that. There’s a time to grind, there’s a time to attack. There’s a time to absorb, there’s noisy times there’s quiet times. The fundamentals never change.

In FC cricket you lose points and get hurried up by the umpires rightly & relentlessly, test cricket allows it to happen and you pay a post test match fee fine which is chump change for the players if they even pay it themselves, anyways it’s one way of making tests 4 days 🧐

Ipswich Town have become the most expensive Championship club ever after they were valued at £350m per @mjshrimper. This comes as the fund that purchased the club sold shares totalling more than £350m. Not bad for a 7th place side 🤔

Whilst The Black and White Minstrel Show and It Ain't Half Hot Mum are clearly racist by modern standards: I dont think even back in the 70s it was ever acceptable to praise Hitler, mock gas chambers, or hurl racist abuse. Farage's press conference yesterday smacked of

Australia have bowled 68.5 overs by the cut off time in the day. That is bordering on fraud.

Australia bowling only 74 overs on day one is an absolute disgrace! #Ashes

Robin Smith's unbeaten 167 in an ODI against Australia in 1993 was, for a long time, England's record score in the format. A scintillating player at his best. A joy to watch. RIP, 'Judge'. ❤️

Really enjoying the Ashes coverage on @cricketontnt - I simply don't understand the negativity shown towards it and the commentators, I really don't. For those struggling.... Mute it and listen to @bbctms #getagrip #getalife 🏏

Someone has posted a link to how much you’re worth (more than 10 million - well done) and someone else to a link to a claim that sometime or another you used the NHS dental arrangement. Can any of this be true?
A writer so successful that today is a day dedicated to him in schools all over the country thinks it is reasonable that he travels for free due to his age. People have to stop taking things they do not need, it is wrong and it is bankrupting our country.
