Not the worst cricketer in the County - but easily mistaken for him

The joy of watching club cricket in April! 🤣 It’s great to be back though.

@WG_RumblePants Hoping I might get down to the Oval for the afternoon. A bit of a tentative plan.

County Championship Round 2 starts tomorrow! Who’s going along to watch this weekend? Little Miss Rumble and I will be heading to the Oval tomorrow, to see Surrey play their home match of the season (and to have our traditional pre-game full English breakfast in the Oval Cafe).

@loftedondrive Thanks Ian. That’s kind. I think I’m probably retired from playing these days.

Here we are then — only one week away. The County Championship returns in a mere 7 days. Spring is firmly upon us and practice games are being played up and down the land. Some lucky souls have already seen their first live cricket of the season.

@WG_RumblePants Yay. Nearly time to pack the bag with the requisite kits for an English summer of cricket : Suncream, wide brimmed hat, umbrella, waterproof and windproof coat, thermos flask, and a cool bag. 😃

Finally into single figures! There are only 9 days to go until the start of the domestic cricket season and the return of the sublime, glorious, incomparable, irrepressible grandaddy of red ball competitions — the County Championship!

I’ve been helping tidy up my club this morning as part of the ECB’s Get Set Weekend. Has anyone else been doing the same thing at their club? It’s so good to be back outside at the club in the sunshine.

Hatfield & Crusaders@hatandcru·
Due to a clash with Newgate Street Village Fayre, @hatandcru 3rd XI are in need of a pitch for their home match against @OldCamdenians @OldCamdeniansCC . Does anyone out there have a pitch, relatively local to Welwyn/Hatfield, that we can hire for a Regional Division 11E match?

@WG_RumblePants I sincerely hope so. I would have gone today but it's midnight oil for me today tp het things finished before heading off for a couple of weeks holiday. I be thinking of those at day 3 and 4 while I sit sipping a cool libation with sun on my back and sand between my toes 😎

@WG_RumblePants Not me. I go for a days cricket. At the end of the day I leave after cricket has been played for the day. I honestly wonder, if the number of overs wasn't on the scoreboard how many people would even notice only 75-80 overs being bowled if play has been enjoyable.

As I queried elsewhere, does anyone really come away from a good day of Test cricket angry about whether they saw 90 overs bowled? I know I don’t. The over rate thing is a non-issue for me. The fact that so few teams regularly meet the ICC benchmark suggests it’s wrong.
Adam Sutherland@AdamSants_

England should obviously bowl the overs to avoid penalisation. But I've never personally felt short changed seeing 84 overs in a day rather than 90. I'd much rather watch high quality cricket with a captain thinking about his fields than Root-esque going through the motions.

@abbeylinegold @cold957 Same here. This works a treat. Sometimes a bit of oil overnight to soften up and then squirting the water but when using regularly havn't often needed the oil.

@cold957 Of course I don’t know the severity of your hearing or ears but my wife has hearing loss and a Boots chappie pointed us in the direction of one of these kits. We got it off Amazon. They’re cheap as chips and work a treat.

@BeckyBscorer It's a big wide world Becky. They (and knowing you I'm quite sure it is many who will) and you just havn't met and hooked up yet.

It’s nights like this that I wish someone would want to be with me. I’m not lonely because of a lack of friends I’m lonely because of a lack of someone wanting me. This probably makes zero sense to most of you.

@WG_RumblePants Can we give it till the 'get rid of 2024 kit' sales are over? A couple of bits I've got my eye on for the new season and it'd be nice to have them before we start Gnoming 😎

I was just talking to my wife over dinner: “Do you remember that time I got drunk one weekend, designed a cricket shirt and actually got them made?” Does anyone have one?
