@PaddyBriggs Presumably not bothering tomorrow Paddy? Weather forecast is appalling.

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@northeast73 @MichaelLCrick They didn’t used to-it’s to save money on multiple journalists and programmes sourcing separate stories on the same topic.

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@Joel_Azulay Was just wondering why you chose to follow me?
I see you haven’t posted for two years.

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@topmanjem @HomeOfCricket Me neither!

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@topmanjem @HomeOfCricket Agree with that of course.
Actually there is August the 2nd as well-one solitary Metro Cup match the day after a 💯 one.

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@topmanjem @HomeOfCricket Like I was yesterday. Was elected in 1980 and yesterday was my son’s first day there as a full red card carrying member after 22 years on the waiting list.
Was hoping to be there tomorrow too, but forecast is appalling again, and match could be over anyway.

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@topmanjem @HomeOfCricket Ok-but still the quantity of entertainment ratio. Potentially 6/7 hours v 1.5. International Sport. Compare to Wimbledon Tennis and Twickenham rugby too.

Stripey selfie at Lord’s with my son Tom, whom I proposed for membership here at Lord’s when he was aged 16 in 2004-so 22 years on the waiting list.

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@bracecricket Really like that Dave-I was there too.
My first time was 1965 when Ground flooded and the fire brigade called to pump the water away!

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@PaddyBriggs I think that there will be a fair amount of play from mid afternoon Paddy. Really hoping so anyway.

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@PaddyBriggs Where are you breakfasting this morning Paddy? Thought you would have been in the queue and about now entering the Grace Gates!

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@WG_RumblePants @BordeauxCanary @cricket_badger Not to have Alex Hartley.

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@GeorgeDobell1 Yes you can.

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@DeanCornish1966 @Uff_Cricket Pleased that you saw the first Notts Men’s win of the T20 season.

@ENG2Stars1Day @Ald19Dr @DavidGauke @7nestingwrens Although Labour v Reform is the main event-Most of the other parties will have a very significant influence on what the outcome is. We are in a new era of multi party politics.

@SimonInDrinks @patmurphybbc Pat did his final commentary last November. He retired then after 51 years with the BBC.

[NIGEL BAYLEM @Leginb]

@The_Grumbler Good timing-waiting for the start of the Tests next week, and the resumption of The Championship on June 12th.

@PaddyBriggs I discovered a new to me bus route to from Kings Cross, my station. The 46 which weaves through Camden & Kentish Towns, Hampstead and Swiss Cottage before getting to St John’s Wood. Takes a while. but a nice free (to me) bus ride.
