Thanks to Andrew Trinder of @RogerstoneWCC for finding the original scorecard of my dad’s highest cricket score 151 not out. Have just presented this to him as a present this morning #cricketfamily

@nickwebb2017 Did you get any clarity on why lunch was not taken after the fall of the 8th wicket? Have checked the playing regs for county championship , it mentions 9 down and also 15 minutes extra if captain requests and umpires think a result can be achieved.

@sid_lambert Brian Moore’s commentary and Big Ron’s comments only add to the legend of this clip!

[Nicholas Brill @merthyrwicky]

@BusbyBulletin Looks like he’s more concerned about keeping his barnet looking good than in actually doing his job on the line properly!

Watching from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Fell in love with baseball watching films like Field of Dreams, Rookie of the Year and Major League. Currently a Yankees fan but would switch if they brought a team back to Montreal. Would love to see the return of the Expos #BasesCoveredLive

@GlamCricket The futures bright, the futures blue and yellow. Bring on 2026! Also thanks for 4 great years Sam Northeast. We will miss him but what an impact he’s had on the club. Here’s to the winter passing quickly . #ohglammyglammy

@nickwebb2017 As an amateur umpire , I believe every appeal should be treated fairly and with a polite response. This helps build good rapport with the players. Thanks for the excellent coverage throughout the season. Winter well and look forward to tuning in come April 2026.

@80s90sCricket I think this photo would be 95 or 96. I remember owning the Glamorgan shirt worn by Steve Watkin on this occasion.

[Nicholas Brill @merthyrwicky]

@KevinHandSport The 425 unbroken stand between Dale and Richards in 1993 you mentioned was in a game Glamorgan eventually lost after getting skittled out in the 2nd innings by Phil Tuffnell. 8/29 . Glamorgan scored 550 in the first innings to Middlesex 572.

[Nicholas Brill @merthyrwicky]

@TPLCricketClub @SwanseaCricket I’m one of the umpires tomorrow. Have been listening to the podcast for the last 2 years and will be great to meet you tomorrow.

@nickwebb2017 Morning looking forward to the next 4 days after sitting out the last round. As the league season gets under way tomorrow , can I wish all umpires and scorers an enjoyable season. Also note the two standing umpires also stood in the game against Leicestershire.
