@MemEnglandhokey I think we badly miss Hollie PW. Impossible to replace, especially on leadership and her ability to read the game and tactically adapt. An innate skill and not easily coached sadly.

@MemEnglandhokey Will be interesting to see how they step up. I think it’s a strong U21 squad, particularly in attack. 20+ Premier league goals this year in that squad. A few still at U18 level too.

RIP Robin Smith. Only 62. One of England’s greats and about the most destructive player of fast bowling I’ve ever seen.

Day 1 of The Ashes and a throwback to when a @GBHockey team used to play The Royal Household CC at Windsor Castle every year. Some very decent cricketers in this group. 🏑 🏏

@seanalf @GraeWil @PhilBailey3 @MemEnglandhokey Are you saying the sponsor could pay 500 plus 150? The question js what are they getting for 650 quid? Businesses are all struggling with margins at the moment and seem to have been in constant squeeze mode for the last 10-15 years. What's the ROI? I can't see it being +ve

Credit her properly then, don't cut off the watermark and mention her in the post or on the graphic. If you're going to live in the dark ages and not pay people for their services, then credit them properly.

@MemEnglandhokey We are all volunteers at our club, we all do it because we care about our club and the sport- non of us want or expect to be paid. End of..

@seanalf @KiranRaichura @PhilBailey3 @MemEnglandhokey Add it on to Ball Patrol bibs & you’ve got some decent coverage. If a photographer has their own website - a link there too. Minimum should be a club covering costs of insurance and Public Lty. Let’s face it clubs aren’t paying for repairs or taking a hit on their own policy.

@KiranRaichura @GraeWil @PhilBailey3 @MemEnglandhokey How many games a year in a hockey season? Let's say 10? Let's say £50 per game Maybe £100-150 for a jacket and t-shirt with the companies logo on for the tog to wear at a game... That has to be an investment?

@PhilBailey3 @MemEnglandhokey Volunteering time is one thing. Volunteering £1000s of gear on the front line, occasionally in rain (and water jets) is another. Pay photographers, just as clubs reimburse caterers and groundstaff. No club is so broke it can’t spend a few quid with an appropriate byline.

@MemEnglandhokey Many clubs would just go out of existence if all the volunteers were paid (and that would also change the reasons people did it) and then we would be in the situation you constantly refer to of a’superleague’ type comp not representative of the National.

@asandysmith @MemEnglandhokey I’d agree - except both 3-4 playoffs were better matches than the respective Finals. Both were played at full pelt and won by a late goal or shootout. I thought the Finals were much cagier and slower tempo.

@angusjporter I’ll have you know I’ve scored a century batting at 11. Across the season, not in a single innings though…

If X wants to maintain user numbers, it should get its algorithm to recognise that I love cricket, but don’t want to see a constant stream of drivel from armchair pundits whose only qualifications are a cricket-related user name and a top score of 22 for Lower Sodbury 4s

@wychwoodgeog @cricketslave @MartynBrunt I agree - it’s probably a total non-starter, but it’s not as if there’s a huge learning curve transitioning from T20 for a single tournament. Plus it’s a simple format non-cricketing viewers can get behind. Seems tailor made for LA!

Is the Hundred the biggest non-event in the history of professional cricket or am I being a churlish curmudgeon?

@wychwoodgeog @cricketslave @MartynBrunt I thought it was an attempt to bypass the IPL exclusivity clause. It didn’t work but it’s popular enough to persist with. There’s talk of US franchise money incoming - so I wonder if there is a late push for the LA Olympics as the official format?

@cricketslave @MartynBrunt Not to repeated at the next opportunity! (No breakdancing in LA). I don't understand why we poured money into a format that no one else plays. I am not against it, I went to the finals last year and had a great day, it just doesn't make sense.

Huge number of empty seats for the women’s #Hockey bronze medal game. Really poor from #Paris2024 to not sell that out.

@OneLoveSAW @eurosport @discoveryplusUK He runs out of talking points really early. I think I must have heard it being an important 3 points for the USA about ten times! It’s random, pointless stats on repeat - or stating the blindingly obvious with some obscure adjectives thrown in for good measure. Drives me mad!

Ten minute yellow for the #hockey commentator on @eurosport / @discoveryplusUK for the random terminology he is using. It’s not much to ask a commentator has some basic professional competency when there are perfectly well qualified alternatives available!
