August 25, 2025Aug 25 I was on holiday in Herefordshire. A cottage with a huge stone cider press wheel in the living room. I was sat by it, nervous as Hell, listening to TMS. Then Euphoria. I'll never forget that moment.

Great memories - I was lucky to be there that day. It won't capture the highs of Reading at Wembley, Hull on a Friday or drawing in Madrid, but probably the top sporting moment I have ever attended.

September 2, 2025Sep 2 Brutal debut for Sonny Baker. I’ve been wandering around Manc. with the wife trying to keep up with things. Why did they bowl him so much?
September 7, 2025Sep 7 Author Very interesting listening to the ECB guy at the break Atherton was quite tough in his questioning, but if the ECB, as claimed, have made a billion from The Hundred, its going nowhere

That isn't a question for me, we know they can, the issue is a lack of consistency
September 12, 2025Sep 12 Forgot it was being played, and my brother just messaged me. Absolute carnage! Wish I'd seen it. Maybe I'll watch it on YouTube later when someone kindly puts it on.
September 12, 2025Sep 12 There are worse ways to spend a Friday night.😉 That’s going to hurt in the morning.😳
September 12, 2025Sep 12 Privileged to have seen 3 great batting performances this week from Lancashire players. Livingstone last Saturday, Buttler and then Salt today. I remember Lancs when they were known as the ‘One day kings’ If it wasn’t for the fragmented schedule and system we have today, we’d take back that crown. Looking forward to tomorrow. I know it’s an England thread but it didn’t seem like it tonight.😊
September 13, 2025Sep 13 Iirc, Lancashire have still won more T20 games than any other county. Not necessarily the ones that matter (finals day) but overall.
September 13, 2025Sep 13 I’ll stick this here as I mentioned it last night. Lucky enough to witness these fine fellows on tv and at OT. (I actually got to know Farokh through work) Jack Bond was from Bolton and lived on Green Lane. “Jack Bond led Lancashire for five seasons during which time they finished third in the championship in 1970 and 1971. They also achieved a hat-trick of Gillette Cup wins (1970-72) and consecutive Sunday League titles in 1969 & 1970. The signing of overseas stars Farokh Engineer from India and West Indies’ Clive Lloyd helped Lancashire to be recognised as one of the best one-day and fielding sides the game had seen. Lancashire had some fine players who were coming to their peaks but more importantly they played well together as a team.”
