@EmergingCricket The match saw representation from @UKinMorocco and was watched by the Ambassador of Pakistan. Lots of talent on show. Hopefully facilities can get support needed over next few years to develop the game at top and at grassroots; the weather is perfect for it! ☀️ @MoroccoWNews

The Moroccan Cricket Union recently sent 3 new coaches to the UK to do their qualifications. Aim is now to get kids playing in and out of schools, find two grounds and relaunch 🏏 in Morocco, which once hosted an international event. Perhaps one for @EmergingCricket in future!

Cricket in Morocco 🇲🇦 The country might currently be banned by the ICC and without a cricket pitch… but we got a game on this morning I joined Sala Al Jadida Cricket Union and the Rakrak Salaoui Cricket Association in a game, played on a 3G football pitch. Great fun! 🏏

This is a brilliant - bleak - piece about the broken local politics of Birmingham. First class on the ground reporting by @alexrogerssky @JoshGafson1 These pieces aren’t easy - you only get footage like this with skill, graft and luck - please watch:

Even with a move to Morocco, you can’t stop me finding Yorkshire sport. South Yorkshire’s Joe Whitaker in action at the Morocco Royal Tour showjumping in Rabat. Not a bad Friday afternoon for it! 🐴 @YPSport @NWestbyYPSport

First week of parenting my baby girl and my new favourite thing is considering each nappy change as either a DRS review 🏏 Started from the get go… “I’ve checked for no ball, it was a fair delivery” I love a “There’s a clear blue line there, stick with your original decision”

David Beckham, Wayne Rooney… Lauren James. Why do England’s ⭐️ players do such daft things in WC knockout games?

I want it to work. It’s a safer environment for children and families to enjoy cricket - rather than boozy T20 Blast evenings or Test matches. I’ll always prefer the other formats but I didn’t need much persuasion to start following cricket as a kid. Others need it simplifying.

Replacement X Factor players should be available, like the Big Bash trialled and IPL have. Create more razzmatazz. On a side note, I’d add 2 franchises - move Northern Superchargers to Durham, include a new Leeds-based franchise and create a Bristol team for the south west.

The Hundred’s return seemed flat yesterday despite two decent games. There’s clearly a lack of quality overseas players. I think it needs to be more extreme to survive. If it’s going to say it’s different to T20 cricket, it needs to be different - other than just 20 balls less.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be here every game” the commentator says after cracking a terrible gag referencing Rihanna. Super 🙄 #TheHundred

I want to like the Hundred. I see how it inspires the kids at school. But my word, this TV commentary is dry. It wouldn’t be out of place at the Crucible. Give it some oomph!

It’s hard enough for village teams to get players playing cricket - let alone find scorers - regularly on Saturdays. For a league to change parameters mid-season AND then backdate punishments is baffling. Hopefully @Cherwellcricket will fix this. #spiritofcricket #getthegameon

@OxMailLiamRice anyone at @OxfordMailLive able to look into why @Cherwellcricket changed rules mid-season. Started backdating docking clubs points for failing to provide scorers? Photos taken days apart this week 🤔 Not seen anything like this in 10 years covering local cricket

Good to see the Player Pool is also in operation in the County Championship

What a difference from Italy, where high-speed trains run with luxury spacious seating for a fraction of the price. Here, there’s no comfort, hardly space to use devices or charge and double the price to get the train than to drive How have we let this happen, @transportgovuk?!

The UK’s rail system is broken. Two nightmare journeys on @CrossCountryUK in space of 3 days. Tens of people standing in each cramped carriage. 4 carriage train from Edinburgh to Plymouth via York, Leeds, Sheffield and Birmingham amongst others. £110 return for the pleasure.

@safc @PaddedSeat Hi, the online tickets seemed to time out at 12pm. Had two in my basket but had to create an account. What’s the best way to buy them now?

Reminders ahead of today's game: 🍻Victory Bar: 12.30pm 🎵Live music: 1.30pm 🤝We welcome @PaddedSeat 🚗200 free car parking spaces at the Sports Village 🏘️Respect local residents & their property ⛔Discrimination & anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated

Fair to say, art isn’t my strong point… Probably the worst bit of modelling you’ll ever see by a primary school teacher. The children appreciated the effort, once they’d stopped rolling around 🤣🤣 on the floor.
