@AnnieChave So looking forward to it Annie. I've got my trips booked in for Hove and Canterbury, two grounds that I haven't visited yet.
Really need to get back to beautiful Worcester again (water permitting!)

[Rob @RibWobb]

@GeorgieHeath27 Because who needs a proper wicket keeper anymore?

(I'm joking. I was a keeper and it winds me up no end that Foakes isn't in the team)

[Rob @RibWobb]

@AnnieChave Yay ! I can start plotting and planning

[Rob @RibWobb]

@TonyIncenzo I used to watch Oxford United's Football Combination games at the Manor Ground in the early 90s. Saw players that went onto greater things and also stars that were fading. Wish I'd kept the team sheets!

[Rob @RibWobb]

@JeffHolland07 @RobertWRossEsq @TheHistoryPress @ThatsTVOfficial Bought the box set and watched it all recently. Absolutely wonderful. Looking forward to reading your book soon!

[Rob @RibWobb]

@dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC Look at those wicket-keeper fingers! Evidence of a great career.

[Rob @RibWobb]

@jackrussellart @derekpringle @ivivianrichards @BrianLara @RickyPonting @sachin_rt I think the coaching manuals is out of the window now. We were taught good defensive technique and everything was built on that. Is there any point now they try and everything to the ropes?

@pitchblacksteed "Ah, there you are Darling" to most people I encounter!

@dgriffinpix Thank you to you as well David. I've enjoyed your daily Griffs and I look forward to reading your book over the winter. April will soon roll around again.

[Rob @RibWobb]

@AnnieChave @patmurphybbc It's been wonderful again Annie. I've seen more live cricket this year than I ever have and it's been wonderful. Next year brings new grounds for me and new friendships. Roll on April. I love County Cricket #countychampionship

[Rob @RibWobb]

@Glossywicket It's goodbye for now but I will be there next year

[Rob @RibWobb]

@GeoffreyBoycott @ECB_cricket And they don't move their feet or get in line

[Rob @RibWobb]

@DerbyshireCCC Well deserved . Top bloke. His knock in the RLC at Northants was my highlight of the season.

[Rob @RibWobb]

@bickers1969 Agree. Are the coaching manuals that I used to abide by when young obsolete? Duckett doesn't move his feet and Salt moved out of line and then complained that it kept low.
Different game now and it's a shame.

[Rob @RibWobb]

@WG_RumblePants @CountyChamp It's the best. So many great games this year

[Rob @RibWobb]

Watching the ODI yesterday & it seemed Duckett was getting plaudits for hitting good boundaries but his feet did not move an inch. Salt moved out of the line to be bowled also. Are the coaching manuals that I abided by as a youngster now obselete? #moderncricket @MattersCounty

Just spent 4 days at Chelmsford for the amazing Championship game. Essex v Worcester. Very friendly ground, nice people, beer festival on site. Sunshine. And a thriller on the pitch. What more do you want? @CountyChamp is the absolute best!

[Rob @RibWobb]

@CountyChamp @AnnieChave
Just spent 4 days in Chelmsford watching an absolutely brilliant game. Worcester were 10-4 on the first morning but won by 43 runs at 3.20pm on the last day. Fantastic advert for cricket's greatest form. Can't imagine memories like that at The Hundred.

[Rob @RibWobb]

@WG_RumblePants @CountyChamp Off to Chelmsford for the first time to see Essex v Worc. Don't follow either county but just love the Championship!
Four sunny days await
