Great fun with Martin Emmerson last night. Plenty of cricket with Hi Fidelity, Summer of 69, Shadappa your Face and There's no one quite like Grandma thrown in. After last time we discussed Eddie Shoestring at length. 4 days coming up with him soon. God knows what is on the agenda

Very good to see county cricket & the Vitality Blast thriving. Full house at Hove. A thumping win for Sussex Cricket. Please don’t forget about them in the unseemly rush for franchise cash #GOSBTS

Just seen the Lancs score. Ouch. They were set for a home quarter final, until Northants managed to beat them for the first time at OT a few weeks ago, thus sending Lancs third and onto an away trip to Sussex. Two out of two go through from the south so far.

Boka Topaz sitting outside our backdoor. Crew has been testing the lifeboats today. It's officially minging on The Roker Riviera. Heavy sea fret blowing in off the sea, bringing lots of drizzle with it. Fog horn is on. We have jumped to mid November today.

Graham Smith Martin Emmerson Probably thought that the last 3 years too - but lost all 3 QFs (to Kent at Canterbury 2021 and to Hampshire and Essex at Edgbaston in 2022 and 2023). Warwickshire/Birmingham QF record is terrible - 12 QFs, just 3 wins.

It's six weeks since this story first broke. Anyway, here's the long awaited confirmation Will Rhodes is joining Durham. #bbccricket

Three southern teams make finals day. According to Richard V Isaacs that's 13 southern wins in a row in the quarters, although Northants are in the south anyway, because they can never guarantee the weather either. Andrew Radd knows the score.

Martin Emmerson Andrew Radd 13 of the last 15 QF winners have come from the South Group - Lancashire and Yorkshire in 2022 are the only North Group teams to break that run.
