New blogging: myself and Mrs C were in Bath a couple of weeks ago so we paid a visit to the Rec for some reminiscing on the ground. yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/10/27/in-memoriam-again-bath-recreation-ground/

New blogging: everyone has their favourite format of cricket. Personally, my favourite is a form rather than a format. A pithy piece on the beauties of evening cricket: yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/10/21/s...

New blogging: I've decided to not renew my Hampshire membership next year. Because what's the point?! Some musings on memberships and the direction of travel in pro sport. yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/10/13/s...

Evening all. Now for something, slightly, different: a review of the very interesting cricket book The Faintest of Tickles. Well worth a read: yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/09/25/t...

Good news for the England men. If they get whumped again tomorrow the first tee of the golf course next to the Rose Bowl is about a ten minute walk from the dressing room. 👍

Never mind the ODI, here's a piece of pithy blogging on a couple of moments that brought delight during the Metro Bank Cup courtesy of Ali Orr and Shan Masood: yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/09/02/m...

A Saturday afternoon in Ikea, only made bearable by introducing my 15-year-old to Ikea cricket. You score a run every time you locate an item you want, but lose a wicket every time you see a family arguing. A respectable 18 for 3 today.

The T in T20 now stands for Tardy.

Just remember: "You've been Metro Bank'd!" #metrobankfever

Test cricket season segueing into The Hundred

Think I'm coming down with a fever. Likely to manifest itself on Thursday morning at about 11am! 🤒

Evening. Some slightly different blogging. This from a trip to the Senior Open golf last weekend about nostalgia and reminiscing in sports: yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/07/29/f...

Love a bit of evening cricket. Great for de-stressing, especially when the sun shines. I watch a few games each season. This pic is from a few weeks back at East Tytherley in Hampshire.

If using the Kookaburra in county cricket is important Ashes practice for bowlers why are England picking a Test squad of 16 and allowing an excess number of pace bowlers to sit around at the Test in the interest of team spirit? Unwatchable & an arrogant destruction of England’s professional circuit

Evening cricket. Nice 😎

Evening. 20 years after fans formed FCUM in protest at what Man Utd had become here's some blogging on whether cricket could do similar with club cricket via the Southern Premier League Burridge and Bournemouth: yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/07/03/a...

Evening. Some new blogging from last weekend's visit to Longparish as its almost 5 years since I went there for the first match after COVID in the truncated summer of 2020. So, something of a celebratory return: yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/06/27/reprise/

This is an account worth following if you enjoy cricket's more quirky aspects. 😀

I actually like the WTC - I 100% get the criticism of the format, but people have short memories & seem to forget what came before. It's a start to fix & grow; It's better than teams unilaterally declaring themselves champions after a couple of undefeated series. www.espncricinfo.com/story/wtc-fi...

I always enjoy seeing a cricket ground with a fully grown tree within the boundary ropes - the game just fitting around the landscape (and providing a few fielding challenges!). Here's a fine example from the ground I visited today at Sulhamstead & Ufton CC. #cricket #cricketground #trees

Evening. A bit of blogging featuring Sunday friendly cricket, how it is a form that is cherished by many and how the Meon Valley in east Hants is a bit of a hotspot: yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/05/28/f...

Evening. Some new blogging about knock-out cricket and how it's still part of the club game even though the pro game has largely shunned it. Featuring Weybridge, Guildford, Chichester Priory Park and Pagham. yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/05/23/j...

Midsomer Murders cricket episode klaxon! 📢 Just starting on ITV3.

Evening. Some new blogging after a glorious few weeks of sun on why May is my favourite month of the cricket season courtesy of a match at Arundel Castle between the BBC Bushmen and The Ivy: yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/05/18/a...

Spent the afternoon with Mrs C watching some Sunday friendly cricket: 😎

Evening. Just a somewhat pithy blog piece regarding the lure of the countryside cricket and how its good for the soul from a Border League match between East Tytherley and Paultons earlier this week: yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/05/09/s...

Hove doesn't quite look right with the temporary stands at the Cromwell Road End.

Watched a bit of evening cricket at East Tytherley yesterday evening. Always good for the soul. 😀😎

Top work in the loo at Goodwood CC today:

It looks like the Travelodge at Bournemouth Seafront has some sort of cricket facility! 😁

Watching something of a rarity today: a red ball match between a first class county and a national county. Hants 2's v Berkshire at the Bowl.

Today’s beautiful cricket ground is the home of Bramshaw CC in the New Forest #cricket #cricketgrounds #cricketground #villagecricket #clubcricket #beautifulcricketgrounds #cricketuk #cricketuk🇬🇧 🏏

Was out and about earlier and heard an ice cream van with the Test Match Special theme tune as its siren. Top work!

Evening, first bit of blogging for about 6 months! This review of the excellent Sticky Dogs and Stardust the Second Innings by Scott Oliver: yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/04/18/s...

Afternoon. First bit of blogging for about 6 months! This review of the excellent Sticky Dogs and Stardust the Second Innings by Scott Oliver and published by Fairfield Books and @nightwatchmanxi.bsky.social yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/04/18/s...

Dan Hughes on for a 100 before lunch at the present rate of scoring at Hove.

Watching a bit of Hants 2's v Notts 2's at the Bowl this afternoon 😎

Some great photos of cricket on social media this evening. Looks like a fun time has been had by plenty, if not all! 😀

Hampshire legend Jimmy Adams watches current opener Fletcha Middleton earlier today.

Here we are then! 😀 It's glorious on the south coast 😎

Getting ready for a wander down the Bowl tomorrow for the opening day of the season 😎

Thought this was superb. Then realised the article was written on 1st April! Am more disappointed that this probably won't happen rather than being fooled! @wgrumblepants.bsky.social www.broadhalfpennydown.com/post/lego-to...

County cricket round on Pointless! 📢

Watched the Marlow Murder Club that featured cricket last night. A few things to ponder but it wasn't a patch on the Midsomer Murders efforts! 😃

It mat be mid March but the cricketers of Bekonscot Village are already out playing 😃

Nessun Dorma has just featured on Pointless and I am immediately transported back to Italia 90. Good times.

Couldn't agree more! 😃

We are now in the same month as the return of county cricket! (Pre season friendlies that is) 😀
