I'm back running on about county cricket. After last week's draw fest, we got some great game

[Forward Defensive Podcast @Forwarddefpod]

Because I'm really good at this, I forgot to promote the new episode 😂

🎙️ Hello? Is this thing on?

The podcast is back and I'm looking at some of the uncapped (with one exception) players who made their England Test case from Round 1 of the County Championship 🏏

Who is on your radar?

[Matt Howes @matthowes9]

The player he's the most like is literally wearing 9 for this team.

Watching Makama is like watching Sargent when he joined Norwich. Raw, works hard, end product isnt always there, and doesn't realise how dominant a physical presence he can be

[Talk Norwich City @TalkNorwichCity]

😍 Anyone for a Big Mak❓🍟

What’s your favourite part of Jovon’s game❓💪🏼

#NCFC | @Onel_Mourner

[Matt Howes @matthowes9]

@Joe_Nuttall9 Thought they would pick Webster too. Much better batting option and his offspin would have at least 3 England batters out in a social media exploding manner

[Matt Howes @matthowes9]

Proof that, for all the backlash, selling Nunez was the right decision. You can't have people like this in your dressing room #ncfc

[ITV Football @itvfootball]

Settled in at Ipswich, Núñez? 😆

That's one way to celebrate a derby win 😂

[Matt Howes @matthowes9]

This Norwich team have all the hallmarks of a bad side. Individual errors that lead to goals, no attacking cohesion or tempo and concede goals either side of half time.

Regression since the last international break

[Matt Howes @matthowes9]

There are really people in the replies calling the manager who got Bristol City into the playoffs the problem and "out of his depth"...

Frustrating/worrying? Yes. 40 games left to go. Hopefully they learn from this

[Paddy Davitt @paddyjdavitt]

#NCFC LM in for his post-match

'I'm angry, disappointed. Frustrated. Too many elements of the performance not good enough. You want people to stand up and be counted. This hurts. I am so frustrated.'

[Matt Howes @matthowes9]

Had the camera out at the Fanzone for the Women's rugby world cup to promote next year's Women's T20 World Cup 🏏

People of all abilities, nationalities, and even a giant dog taking part 👏🏻

[Gloucestershire Cricket Foundation @GlosCricketFdn]

It was a fantastic atmosphere at the Fan Zone in Bristol yesterday🏉 @VisitBristol

You were enjoying our batting cage + seeing the ICC Women's T20 World Cup trophy (yes, the real one for everyone who asked😁)

We're doing it again today, so come get involved🏏

@DynastyDaddyFF My first thought was I'd want a plus. I feel like I could content, otherwise I wouldn't be considering it

[Matt Howes @matthowes9]

Been working on this video for a little while 📹 cricket is a game for everyone and I hope more people can enjoy a sport that has brought me a lot of happiness over the last 20+ years

Thanks to @brainhaldorf & @matthowes9 for their assistance with comms on the @WorcsCCC livestream coverage of @EnglandU19 v @BCCI u19 over the last few days. Great work! Hope you enjoyed the coverage. Some excellent young players on show on both sides.

For all the talk of projects and a transition year, Norwich have sacked the manager after less than 12 months.

Recent Performances 📉 + the messaging hasn't been clear. Undercurrent of friction too.

Has to be more to this. Sargent's interview now gains context 👀

Incredible batting display. You don't see many 4th innings play out for 200 overs.

What a start we have had to the County season

A monumental effort from the Pears results in a draw! 💪
