@dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC Nice one

Exclusive!!! What a scoop for @DerbyshireCCC who are to become the first county cricket club to install a roof over their HQ ground. The ground at Derby, home to Derbyshire since 1870, will undergo a transformation over the coming three years to produce a venue capable of hosting cricket regardless of the weather, as well as a plethora of other activities. The domed roof will be over 75 metres high at its highest point and is shown here in the finalised architect's impression. The opening ceremony, which will dovetail with the opening game of the 2029 season, will see Derbyshire's players abseil into the arena from the rooftop...

@WG_RumblePants The first cricket book I bought after the Playfair Cricket Annual of 1973 was his autobiography “Cricket Rebel”. He is, in my opinion, one of England’s best fast bowlers. He also batted well enough to even open the batting for Sussex in the John Player League.

John Snow seems to be England’s great forgotten strike bowler. He played 49 Tests between 1965 and 1976, taking 202 wickets at an average of 26.66 and economy rate of 2.68. In his 4 series against Australia, Snow was the leading England wicket-taker 3 times, and at home in 1968, he was 2nd. EW Swanton wrote that he “had not seen an Englishman bowl either faster or better than Snow at Sydney since Tyson”. Perhaps his career and achievements deserve a bit more recognition?

@Gloscricket He was an absolute joy to watch bat, even when he was seemingly easing his way to double centuries against England. He always seemed to enjoy his craft.

ICC Hall of Famer! 🏏 Zaheer Abbas lit up Gloucestershire with 23,186 runs in 415 matches. For Pakistan, he scored 5,062 Test runs at 44.79 and remains the only subcontinental batsman with 100+ first-class centuries! Who remembers watching him? 💛🖤

Rehan Ahmed changed the game with his uninhibited hitting. A 4th MoM for Will Jacks. Who would have believed @englandcricket would be here 1 week ago. It would be nice if New Zealand make it as well, although Pakistan would deserve it if they can win that big.

@SkyBetLeagueOne @Argyle Things are progressing nicely for @Argyle after being bottom a few months ago. Stability after two seasons of managerial musical chairs. @GregHands @AdamBtheCornish

🟢 What a day for Tom Cleverley’s @Argyle! #EFL | #SkyBetLeagueOne

@Surreycricfan Surely, given what he has achieved - and his outstanding record at Test & ODI cricket - he has to be England’s next coach. He will bring that toughness and total commitment that is needed now.

Jonathan Trott did so much for Afghanistan cricket. Fantastic coach, fantastic role model, it is a shame he has left his position but also extremely excited to see what happens next in his tremendous coaching career 🏏

@oldmanradd @NorthantsCCC @RedbackJim @darren_lehmann A fine Cornishman. I once got him out when he was as a teenager; although he had already gone past 50 with straight six off my bowling.

Another one for the ⁦@NorthantsCCC⁩ kit badgers - and of course the excellent ⁦@RedbackJim⁩. 30 years ago in 1996 the one-day shirt modelled by the limited-overs player of the year Tony Penberthy. More canary yellow than Australian gold ⁦@darren_lehmann? #12thMan

@Argyle Certainly one of Argyle’s best ever players; perhaps the best along with Mariner. They were great times when he was playing for us.

Happy 70th birthday to an Argyle legend 💚 Have a great day, Tommy! 🥳

Hyvelle Ferguson-Davis explains to #GHHUnite that she had a stroke, 2 heart attacks and a quadruple bypass. Yet no one had thought to do a genetic test for Lipoprotein (a). As a result, she established @heartsistasinc to help women advocate for themselves. @GlobalHeartHub

At #GHHUnite, Martha Gulati talks about the cost of silence, where women’s heart issues are not discussed in the same way as men’s. She explains that nearly 450,000 US women die from cardiovascular disease each year, 10 times more than breast cancer. @GlobalHeartHub

Neil Johnson of @GlobalHeartHub opens #GHHUnite 2025 by pointing out that we will be listening to the “greatest experts of all”, those with real experience of living with cardiovascular disease. This inspiring Summit brings together 200 delegates from 37 countries.

@lonsdale_jeremy @PitchPublishing @Middlesex_CCC @BrentfordFC @Waterstones Great to hear that the project you mentioned is coming close to fruition, Jeremy. You have chosen a fascinating personality. I will certainly place an order, and look forward to reading it.

Very pleased that @PitchPublishing will publish my biography of the great @Middlesex_CCC and England cricketer, and @BrentfordFC footballer, Patsy Hendren in June 2026. Available to pre-order via @Waterstones with 25% off Tuesday- Friday this week using the code below. #Cricket

Watch the new episode of #ThePioneeringPatientPodcast with former MP Lord McCabe. After his tough 12 month recovery from valve surgery, he advocated with @HeartValveVoice to ensure other patients have a simpler procedure. Watch the full episode here: youtu.be/SJiO_hHRa74

@1968Tv A great player and one of my favourites. He made it seem as though he wasn’t doing much but he was always achieving a great deal. You did miss his FA Cup Final winning goal.

Happy Birthday to the great Trevor Brooking. 634 league and cup appearances for West Ham and 47 caps for England, and only booked once, probably for being too nice!

@1968Tv Good to see @Argyle featured, as well as our Cornish player and manager, Johnny Hore. He took us to the FA Cup semi final earlier that year. I also interviewed him for my book.

He had all the attributes and achievements of a big time player, apart from the big ego to match. It will be difficult to replace him, and the team will miss him. Congratulations on a great career @chriswoakes

@dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC Thanks for all the posts throughout the season. It has been most enjoyable and educational.

Sunday Morning Griff What happened to Durham? Winter cricketing fixes - support the cricket societies… Congratulations to the winners and to @DerbyshireCCC The upcoming Griff Awards

@cricket_badger Strange to have two off-spinners; only one of whom is a specialist. Might have been better to have bowling and batting versatility with Rehan Ahmed or a left-arm specialist in Jack Leach. I’m not convinced this is an Ashes winning team, but we haven’t had that for a long time.

Kudos to @reado007 for completing the London to Brighton for @HeartValveVoice with his heart surgeon. Phill has quite a story to tell about his treatment experience and the importance of early detection via a stethoscope check. Congratulations Phill.
