There's been a lot of cricket news today, but Kemar Roach getting 300 test wickets is some achievement.

Glanced at my feed and thought Mel Brooks had just come in to bat for England. And he's already on 100!

Genuinely heartbroken at Stokes going. What a waste this summer has been. Just a very unserious set-up

Not been following the Test Match but I see today is "why is everything happening so slowly" day, according to cricket fans

My last day in my 50s were spent, unsurprisingly, playing cricket. At Durham School this time, and a good time was had by all.

Wordle in 3, Connections in 4, Strands with no hints. Today really is my day.

Off to play cricket in Newcastle today. It may not hit 30 here, but I have played in 30+ degree heat here in the North East several times, last year and 2022. I'm not sure that's a good sign.

Well. That was close! First sixer for a while. Wordle 1,831 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟨⬜🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Is it just me or has today felt like a long day?

The Euro Cup 2026 is coming in just three weeks!

Some personal cricket news. Two catches on Friday put me top of the wicketkeepers for my main midweek team, The Forty Club Yorkshire and North East. I'm very proud

England equivalent to 99-1 at lunch in day 2, the same as at Perth. Expect NZ to romp home later with Devon Conway morphing into Travis Head. #theCricket

Every time you post this, I read it again

An annual reminder that I had a free ticket for this but stayed home to revise for my A Levels. I ended up watching it all day on TV, and failed my exams anyway. www.espncricinfo.com/on-this-day/...

Congratulations and well deserved

Today is the 14th anniversary of our move into our current house. It was 30° that day too. #20sPlenty

Wondering whether @wednesdayerskin.bsky.social has any plans for a book tour or talk in England any time this year?

THREAD. 3 & 1/4 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he'd been living, in rural Cornwall, & decided he wanted to live with us instead. We decided to call him Jim. This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st 2022

Massive news about the Championship Play Offs. It’s going to be tough for Middlesbrough FC to lift themselves after all the controversy and uncertainty. Luckily George & Parmo are on hand to provide inspiring stories of resilience and teamwork for anxious Boro supporters - or players & officials!

I've been thinking a lot over the last few days about my occasional teammate Leigh Beaumont, who is currently very ill. He has shown me warmth and kindness, treating me, a very village cricketer, as an equal on and off the field. I wish him a speedy recovery

Nice piece on England men's new opener. Of course, it has to mention which independent school he went to - Bedford School, in case you were wondering. www.espncricinfo.com/story/emilio...

TOM NORTON HAS TAKEN A HATTRICK ON HIS FIRST-CLASS DEBUT!!!!!!!!!!! WATCH LIVE: bit.ly/4dbXIIN #GLAvSOM #OhGlammyGlammy

Listening to county cricket. Commentator makes a point of mentioning the independent school a young player has recently scored runs for. Again, this never seems to happen for players from a state school background.

I may go through old TMS lunchtimes to see which celebs live their cricket

You see a title like 'Timmy Mallett explains APARTHEID' and you'd probably go 'Oh, good grief'. Instead, you get a dialled down Mallett in South Africa, and he absolutely smashes explaining a difficult, complex subject to children right out the park with pitch perfect balance. Genuinely brilliant.

This is horrific www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Well done her for fighting it but no one should have to go through this

I'm not giving you a game-by-game rundown of my cricket season this year, but I may post occasional personal highlights such as this. I filled in for the West Mids and the 6 hour round trip was worth it to get my best bowling figures of 3-21

My 18 day run of over 10,000 steps looks like coming to an end today, as I'm on about 3,500 and it's nearly 9pm

My uni mate turns 60 today. For his 23rd birthday, we went to Leicester v Chelsea. A win would see Chelsea promoted. There were more people in the away end than the rest of the ground. At 3, there was a big surge as Chelsea fans were shoved in to avoid trouble outside

He looks like every character in the flashback part of Godfather II rolled into one

Put the Lancs live stream on just in time to see Derbyshire mop up the tail. "Just" the 138 to win. Dare I dream that THIS is the year? #TheCricket

The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, owns a property company - Quidnet REIT. From 2020 to 2022 it paid Tice and his trust £600k in dividends. Quidnet should have paid £120k of tax on those dividends. It didn't. A 🧵 with evidence from the company's own filings:

County cricket live streams are great. Currently watching Matthew Potts looking like he'll take a wicket every ball #GloDur

It's here! First cricket game of the season today. 11 degrees maximum so plenty of layers

I scored a run-a-ball 71 there last year which included 15 fours. I have obviously given up running in my old age. It was my highest score in the past 40 years

Two three-nil wins in a week for Stockport County, but which player looks like he's eaten his bedding? Could you describe Arthur Brownlow? Is it OK to have a crush on a literary werewolf? The answers are all here in the @scarfbergarawore.bsky.social blog: scarfbergarawore.co.uk/my-county-di...

450 up for Derbyshire. Top of the Table! #CountyCricket
