@BristolCity I will be if we can hold onto Knight and Bird!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@RealBristolBoy Those who understand cricket will know that preparing pitches is not an exact science and there can be so many weather variances in the lead up which can make it very tricky.

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@Gloscricket Let's hope some of the crowd come back to watch the "Shire".

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@Gloscricket What a cross section! - common denominator is that they are all cricket lovers!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@3PIAPC @ForeverBristol1 @RealBristolBoy Question for the panel! Do we cheer if Semenyo scores tonight, having nurtured and supported him through our Club! My answer is yes, as long as England are winning!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@Gloscricket "Hammo" worked so hard for that Century, glad I was there to see it!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@TaylorD_Moore @thatchersend You're a true credit to your profession Taylor. Played out of your favoured position too many times at City. Good luck for the future!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@Gloscricket Lovely here at Worcester - as always!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@3PIAPC @Leerefpoole Glad you have advertised these as I have missed them, (although Patch alerted me to them when I bumped onto him last Saturday at Downend CC).

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@M_H_Taylor So many local cricketers who have neutral/qualified umpires for their league matches, don't appreciate how lucky they are!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@RealBristolBoy @DanCarterJourno What is success for you next season?

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@Gloscricket Gets-it!!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@Gloscricket We're actually not bad!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@Gloscricket @SomersetCCC It was "total control!" from the 1st ball tonight! Up the "Shire!!"

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@Gloscricket Perhaps Somerset were caught "Short!"😂

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@Gloscricket Don't we just love defeating our friends from down the road!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@Gloscricket Such a complete performance by the "Shire", looked proper well organised T20 unit!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@antgib @SomersetCCC @bbcbristolsport As a Gloshire fan, and with respect, I say bring them on! Can't wait, just hope the weather holds!

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@TheExiledRobin Looking forward to watching the T20 derby tomorrow with more optimism than usual for the "Shire!".

[Alan Payne @alan_payne4]

@TheExiledRobin @RealBristolBoy At least we appear to have got our money back on Sincs.
