@SirTimRice I remember buying Stupid Cupid at the Record Room in St Albans in 1958. One of many great records by a great talent. RIP Connie Francis

If you’re a county age-group cricketer, boy or girl, your coach can apply to us for help towards travel & kit costs. If you’re new to a Women’s Tier Two team you can also now be considered. We are awarding our final grants and have EXTENDED the application window to end May.

Go out and buy a copy of the spring edition of Nightwatchman (no. 49) now. 136 pages of great articles, great photos and even a poem or two. The best read for those who think about, and care about, cricket.

@arusbridger @nytimes Corer and fiber both a disgrace. And what about Mommy a few days ago? Ridiculous.

The latest post on the Kent Cricket Heritage Trust blog looks at England's first captain of our women's Test team. A great lady

@AlisonMitchell I had a DVT after a long flight once. Hurt like hell but worked out OK in the end. Look after yourself and do what the docs tell you to do.

Mordecai Sherwin was the last professional captain of @TrentBridge in the 19th C, there was not another until 1961 when John Clay was appointed. This portrait of Sherwin, who also played in goal for Notts County, hangs in the Trent Bridge Long Room. #SportAndArt

@thefulltoss There are a few of us for whom Fulham is our first favourite club.

[County Cricket Heritage @cchfCricket]

Not many cricketers are remembered in stained glass but Rev Philip Williams, who played 20 First-Class games (two for @TrentBridge) in the 1840s, has this splendid memorial in his church St Mary the Virgin at Rewe, Devon. #SportandArt

@patmarsh @john_warnett @DomKingLive @CitrusDavid @annacookson @BBCRadioKent @BBCSounds Thanks @patmarsh. Usually when @BBCRadioKent asks me to comment it means some megastar has died. Much better to celebrate a birthday and tell the world (or our little corner of it) about my favourite pancake topping.

[County Cricket Heritage @cchfCricket]

John Johnson’s portrait hangs over the door to the Long Room @TrentBridge but not for his on-field exploits (just a few games) but as a long-served Hon Sec, club Vice-President and the guiding hand in the building of the ground’s first Pavilion. #SportandArt.

Charley Brown, born this day 1815, was a wicketkeeper-batsman for @TrentBridge whose most original claim to fame was to bowl right arm ‘behind his back’, a curious method that helped to secure him nine First-Class wickets. https://t.co/MLJXTq0hzE

Six @TrentBridge players appeared for Alfred Shaw’s XI v Melbourne CC XI in January 1887; as tour manager Shaw was not among them. Of the non-Notts players, Johnny Briggs of @Lancscricket was born in Nottinghamshire. Shrewsbury skippered the side and batted at number ten.

30 Dec 1882 @KentCricket's Ivo Bligh & Edmund Tylecote debuted for @ECB_cricket v Australia at MCG. Tylecote top scored in both innings but England lost by 9 wkts. Under Bligh's leadership they won the next 2 Tests, prompting some ladies to burn a bail & put the Ashes in an urn.
