@WG_RumblePants True … but none of the other seamers bowled more than 9. Although Crocombe took 4 wickets.

@Peter_Swabey Only bowled 6 overs in the 4th innings for no wickets, although his economy was decent enough.

Let’s see. There seems to be an awful lot of noise about this out there - not sure any of it is warranted or why it’s happening. But what do people really think? Should Ollie Robinson be selected for England this summer?

Who’s planning on watching the County Championship LIVE AND IN LIVING COLOUR on Friday 3 April? Very Good Friday as it’s otherwise known. If you’re going, where are you going? Little Miss Rumble and I are hoping to head to @HomeOfCricket to see @Middlesex_CCC play @Gloscricket

More developments: the 26 signatories of the letter calling for Sussex board to resign en masse are prepared to call an EGM at Hove if the club reject their proposal to place three of their number on a rejigged board. Could trigger a no-confidence vote by members.

First of all, as a British Celt who also went to university in Wales... Fuck That Next, Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote extensively of King Arthur, who was not an Anglo, or a Saxon, indeed, he beat the shit out of the Saxons and hated their guts Let the RED dragon fly proud!
The English Remnant@Englishremnant

The White Dragon flag is one of the oldest emblems of the English ethnic people - a banner reaching back around 1,500 years, to the dawn of England itself. Long before the Norman invasion, before the lion or the Union Jack, the White Dragon flew over the early Christian kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia, and Northumbria, representing courage, purity, and divine protection. Chroniclers such as Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote of the red and white dragons locked in battle - the red for the ancient Britons, the white for the English. That white dragon became the emblem of our nation and our ancestry — the symbol of a people forged in this land, united by faith, language, and blood. When you see this flag, you’re looking at a banner that’s at least 1,500 years old, carried by our forefathers who built the churches, tilled the fields, defended the homeland, and passed down a living heritage that still runs in our veins today. It’s not just a flag - it’s a symbol of English ancestry, English ethnicity, and the unbroken spirit of a people who have never lost their identity. ƿē sindon Ēnglisc. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Fly it proudly - let the White Dragon rise once more over England.

Spitfire spotting with @SpitfireFilly at the @I_W_M! If you’ve not yet heard Dr Taylor on WW2 aviation then you’re really missing out, few speak with such knowledge and passion on the subject. Great event, pity it wasn’t longer, but plenty of points for a future #fillyandfriends

Having consulted Michael Fish, Bill Giles and John Kettley, none of them are particularly optimistic about the prospect of there being a full day’s play at the Oval today… If only I’d been able to speak to Ian McCaskill. Bet he would’ve been more optimistic.

Next time you watch a romance - take a look at the soft shadows. It’s not that the actresses chose the lighting. It is that they don’t want to look unflattering, obviously. So we do everything in our power to soften the lights hitting their faces, especially in romantic movies.

So if HARD LIGHT + SOFT LENS FILTER achieves this sparkling eyes effect, why not use it now? Because those super heavy “softening filters” are now associated with the “old school” look. And without the filter, a hard light is unflattering. So we mostly use soft lights now.

@WG_RumblePants @HillingdonPosh Possibly, but price is an issue. I’m a Sussex member, and would have gone after work, but knowing that I’d be late, wasn’t willing to stump up £35 for 20 overs or so. Prices for the 100 start at £14 so this looks like a deliberate policy to sabotage the Blast.

This is one section of the crowd at the Blast at Lord’s tonight. I’d love to know how many are there. This is what many feared. The 💯 may raise a lot of money for the game, but this is where it has left the former 💎 in the 👑 of domestic white ball cricket. It’s very sad.

@SussexCCC Fawlty! It says here that we signed a Sussex batsman and used him as a fielding sub, and nicked a women’s franchise and then played games in Sussex. And we can’t even beat the blighters after winning the toss at home!
