@Middlesex_CCC Well played, Middlesex! Especially good to see the young lads Nelson and Cornwell perform so well. But please, be embarrassed about the fake, "extremely convincing" appealing which conspired to remove Lyth when not out. In the week of "clickgate" let's call it cheating!

@JonathanDoidge Very well said, @JonathanDoidge

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@KH_BBCLeeds You did SO WELL tonight, Katherine ( and JD of course!)

JK himself couldn't have asked for a better tribute!

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC Agreed, David. From a Yorkshire perspective, we never really considered the poor quality of the bowling, much more the unbelievable hitting of the late order which completely turned the match on its head. On another day they'd have both holes out cheaply!

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@ChazHKR1 @WTrinityRL @TheLEDStudio Hopefully very long...culminating as late as possible in October!!!

@dgriffinpix I'm off Twitter now, David ( post madman Musk) but stumbled on this and have to say you're still in fine fettle. You always produce thoughtful observations, know the game AND love it too. Keep up the ( very) good WORK!

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@IMcMillan @BBCYorkshire I'm off Twitter now( post-Musk) but have only now come across your beautiful poem/ tribute to Dickie in Saturday's YP. Just wanted to say THANK YOU...it was perfect!

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@TrinityHeritage Just got round to this...really enjoyed it. Ben has an infectiously warm personality and clearly loves the game. He tells a very good tale or two too!

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@JohnStone36 @dgriffinpix @DerbyshireCCC @lancscricket @CardyFreddie @AnujDal Point taken, John...I'm getting lazy in my late middle age! Although I could blame Twitter's influence, steering us towards contractions in the name of economy...

@RoseEdmunds @nicholasroyle @ObserverUK Think it was a clever in-joke by Everyman to say that even though it's a new owner, things will be exactly the same. Hopefully so...and not just the crossword! Plus ça change...

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@RoseEdmunds @nicholasroyle @ObserverUK Slow and steady wins the race...

@WTHeritagePod Trying to get off X because of EM but had to say how much I enjoyed this. Excellent on Hoody, Mike and others. Just think you could have said more on TJ. Looked close to best after long rehab last week. Last night the magic was back. Talisman Tom!

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@WTrinityRL Fantastic win, boys! Bookies had Leigh at 7-2 ON to win. Now let's do the same AGAIN next week!!!

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@JDZEvents @radionewshub Sounding to the manner born. No wonder you're so good at predicting the prospects of play at Headingley!

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@JDZEvents was driving through Wakey just now listening to my favourite Boom Radio when I could swear I could hear your dulcet tones reading the weather forecast! Am I going insane or was it your uncredited self?

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@WTrinityRL Great characterful win...very best wishes to Max and Matty S...

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@WTrinityRL Yes very honest appraisal from Daryl. Absolutely right about the first try but equally correct about it not costing us the match. We have to do the basics better and we KNOW we can. Bad day at the office but learn and move on!!!

[Robert Elliston @RobertElliston1]

@WTrinityRL Oli, Oli, Oli!!!
