I had intended to be at Edgbaston for all 5 days, but a combination of picking the wrong place to stay and too many days in the full sun meant I drove home at the end of Day 3. Happily Sky offered me a month of Sky Sports for free, which was timely! A short … More England v India – Edgbaston – 2025
Welcome to another scintillating round of the County Championship – Kookaburra Style! Records were set and not necessarily in a good way! In Division 1 on Day 1 1758 runs were scored, only 22 wickets taken! As an Essex member and fan whose team had a very difficult game it’s quite hard to write about … More County Championship Round 10 (9) – 2025
Division 1 I spent Day 1 of this round at the Oval and saw a good day of cricket, I’m starting to write on the morning of Day 2. Every team in Division 1 that batted first was bowled out on Day 1. 2 Division 1 matches were finished on Day 3 as were 2 … More County Championship Round 8 – 2025
A full round in both Divisions this week, happily weather didn’t have an effect on the rounds where teams sat out. 3 Counties started the round without a win to show for their efforts, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Lancashire. That would change, but only for 2 of the teams! I was at New Road for the … More County Championship Round 7 – 2025
Day 1 of this round saw a positively hot day at Chelmsford which is where I was, for the match between Essex and Yorkshire. I had been hoping to see Joe Root, but neither he or Harry Brook were present. A look around the country on Day 1 saw a mixed bag runs wise. There … More County Championship Round 6 – 2025
May Day saw glorious weather across the country, I’m starting this write up on the morning of Day 2. We had just 3 Divison 1 matches and the full 4 in Division 2. Things weren’t over quite as quickly in this round, with two matches finishing on Day 3. After a lazy morning on Day … More County Championship Round 5 – 2025
I’m staring out on the morning of Day 2, having had a rugby match to watch and write up last night. I can’t understand the logic of not having every team playing when both leagues have an even number of teams, especially when the weather can be such a factor. But, here we are and … More County Championship Round 4 – 2025
At this stage of the season every game feels like a cup game for the teams behind Batrh clear at the top of the table. Having lost to Harelquins at the Spurs Stadium, Saracens followed up with a win at Welford Rpad against Leicester Tigers, then at home a win against Gloucester. Sale beat Saints … More Sale Sharks v Saracens
Round 2 saw positively hot days for the first 2 of this round, most definitely at Trent Bridge where I found myself. I’m staring to write ups Division 1 at the end of Day 3, listening to The Masters on Radio 5 Live! There was 1 positive result in each Division on Day 1. Division … More County Championship Round 2 – 2025
As loathe as I am to relive this match, it has to be done. In their wisdom the PRl/RFU placed the local derby weekend diectly after the 6 Nations. That meant each team had to make a choice about whether they included their international players, well, England players anyway. Player welfare doesn’t seem to matter … More Saracens v Harlequins – The Showdown
