Today we said goodbye to one of the true greats of the game.
Andy was one of the most loved players of all time on & off the oche. He will never be forgotten.
RIP Andy
THERE’S ONLY ONE ANDY FORDHAM
🧵 So disappointed to see Newcastle's "Urban Garden", partnered with @BrewDog, yesterday.
An excellent opportunity to put sustainability into practice, and to educate people on the climate, ruined through a series of avoidable, bad decisions 👇
@salfordbeerfest I know, bloody Torrside as well!
Oh well, it's for the best.
Last one was excellent but due to the dreaded lurgi I did struggle with even 1 or 2 beers.
Onwards and upwards, slainte!
Gutted
Was looking forward to the excellent #ISBFHeroes7 on Friday but for the first time ever I've gotta sit it out
Oh well, I've got plenty of excellent beer available for once I've shook the dreaded lurgi (not covid, thank goodness)
Called the doctors up dead on 8am
Already 27th in the queue
The NHS is wonderful, but maybe stop building more and more houses in Whittlesey without further GP capacity yeah....
Have a great belated birthday weekend in that there Crewe @ckdsaddlers & @geordiemanc70
Gutted I can't make it this year but we'll meet again
Slainte!
I see The Hundred starts soon, a competition where the teams each have 100 deliveries to hit
This apparently is an improvement on T20, when they have 120 balls to hit
I'd like to suggest that 40 balls each would be quite enough for people who don't really like cricket anyway
So, the 100 has: Pretty much the same overseas players as the Blast
AND
Limited availability of England test players (limited to 2 games, Ben Stokes played 2 2021 Blast games against Northampton alone)
Can anyone explain to me why the ECB aren't just pushing the Blast? Anyone?
