@collinsadam The @ScottishOpen golf showed the absolute benefit of being flexible with start times, moved the start of day 4 forward to get the tournament in on the last day rather than go into a reserve day. Forecasting is more reliable - use it!

@NoContextBrits Sorry.

On the sad occasion of her passing, please take a moment to enjoy the time The Queen was excited to see some cows.

May she rest in peace.

Many congratulations to Petra on reaching her maiden 100 and for also scoring the first Copdock Ladies @cricket_EAPL hundred, topping off a fantastic victory for the Ladies 1st XI on Sunday!

@JohnEast9 Whilst Mr Pietersen has been slagging off county cricket of late, its been one of the best starts to a season in memory. Unusual amounts of English batters scoring runs which hopefully gives us cause for optimism.

The West Indies should drop Kemar Roach to look at other bowlers and plan for the future

On this day, 2002, New Zealand thrashed England in an otherwise forgotten ODI in Wellington.

New Zealand scored 244/8.

England collapsed to 89 against the innocuous Andre Adams (3-13) and Nathan Astle (3-4).

However, the match is special for an entirely different reason.

How good is this. #spiritofcricket

@Vitu_E I think our American cousins would call that play action

@JohnEast9 I thought it had peaked when the guy investigating the illegal party had had his own illegal party. I suppose its like you and Nose heading up an enquiry into Two Counties player behaviour standards.

[Ali Martin @Cricket_Ali]

Test cricket ... where bad light can see a batsman trying to bowl his team to victory against two bowlers trying to bat their team to a draw. Beautiful.

@JohnEast9 @JamesEast5 Benaud would be turning in his grave with this garbage.
