My ex-girlfriend was a qualified umpire. When she handed me my jumper I knew it was over.

I have declared victory in the election for 2s Captain next season. The AGM will be held on January but I'm declaring victory now to head off FRAUD! Make Cricket Great Again

A contest that unfolds slowly over five days and even then might not produce a clear winner. Americans would find this election much easier to cope with if they had spent a lifetime following Test cricket.

6:32am: "Do you think the game will be called off today?" Sigh. I guess someone had to be the first.

Today we have the return fixture and the boot is firmly on the other foot. My preference is obviously to play today, but having them drive over here and waste their day waiting for rain to stop is a very close second.

The forecast for the afternoon has just been updated to scattered Netflix clearing to FA Cup from the southeast later

May 2020 - can't play cricket, warm sunny weather May 2021 - can't play cricket, cold rainy weather POLL - which do you prefer? Retweet -> 2020 Like -> 2021

Me: "Are you available next Saturday?" Him: "Depends. What number will I be batting?" Oh FFS!

Holding the Euros final on a Sunday evening is great relief from a cricket perspective. This should become the standard for weddings too.

What a great way to ensure you get given match fees duty every Saturday for the rest of the season!

Three drop outs from the 1s yesterday due to the "ping-demic" has meant some frantic selection reshuffle. I saw this coming last Saturday as they discussed their plans to "celebrate the nightclubs reopening in style". The folly of youth.

I can't watch the Olympic Dressage without being reminder of Liam Plunkett running in to bowl

The demise of Boris Johnson illustrates how tenure of most cricket captains will end. Grumbling from the ranks makes it an even less pleasant experience. Where you've finally had enough and resign no-one will even try to talk you out of it.

I shared with my wife the news that Taylor Swift just got engaged. "So me you won't have to worry about me leaving you for her" She seemed relieved.
