@BumbleCricket I have to agree with you Bumble, I'm in my 70s and grew up loving test cricket and the county championship, but I enjoy cricket in all it's forms.

You would have thought Sky would be able to spell Thursday correctly

@BumbleCricket It was purely tongued in cheek Bumble, I however will be supporting Rochdale.

@BumbleCricket
I watched the Stick to Cricket podcast yesterday, which I always enjoy, but I was very disappointed with you as a proud Lancastrian wanting York to go up from the National League above Rochdale, what are you thinking?

[Frank Butterworth @FrankButte39256]

Why are cricket commentators trying to make cricket sound like a bloody formula one race? calm down for god's sake it's cricket.

[Frank Butterworth @FrankButte39256]

Does anyone else turn the volume down or even switch channels when Darren Fletcher is commentating on football? I say commentating, he doesn't, he just spouts irrelevant stats

[Frank Butterworth @FrankButte39256]

I wish Rob Walker would stop mauling and pawing at the players, it's incredibly embarrassing

@evans_reanne After the first set I thought we were going to be in for a really close one, Littler just took it away

[Frank Butterworth @FrankButte39256]

@JMBeer434 @JosiahZibster Any matches with radio coverage on, that is what I always do.

[Frank Butterworth @FrankButte39256]

@Aboflondon4 Quite right too.

@hitmanholt I used to kiss my mum on the lips until I lost her at 85, lovely lady.

More excitement in one hours Test cricket this morning than an entire season of the Hundred

@englandcricket Every team would do it, it's a complete disgrace, but the umpires nowadays are a total waste of time, if the players run on the pitch they get a warning, if they pretend to be injured, and waste 10 minutes, the umpires just stand and watch, helpless.

[Frank Butterworth @FrankButte39256]

@SkyCricket dear sky sports cricket, please ask Ravi Shastri to stop saying he's taken 200 sticks, they're bloody wickets for goodness sake!

[Frank Butterworth @FrankButte39256]

@fouldsy147 It was, I got quite emotional.

[Frank Butterworth @FrankButte39256]

@markwil147 Taken up umpiring as well?

[Frank Butterworth @FrankButte39256]

@fouldsy147 @dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC @KentCricket You and me both.
