It’s also easy to overlook the progress in 20 over format this year compared to the season before. Having Mir back bodes well for next season in Vitality Blast.

@frankwatson58 definitely silverware for me Frank. The difference between Div 1 and 2 isn’t vast (unlike in football). Looking forward to seeing Lategan in particular develop next season. Always nice to visit other Midlands grounds too.

@braddersatbbc Ethan Brookes got 88 - not 38- not out against Essex and his debut first class century last season 😎

[Pete Bate @petebate]

@braddersatbbc it’s easy to overlook amidst Worcestershire’s troubles this season that they currently have 3 of the top 12 wicket takers in the country. Fair play for their fine bowling application so far - however dead the pitch!

Some words on the new @bccamplight album for @forfolkssake Can’t wait to witness the songs live in Manchester in a few months. https://t.co/jYMB5yrozq

@frankwatson58 - anyone else worried that Worcs only have one frontline spinner in their team after seeing this display?!

[Pete Bate @petebate]

@WorcsCCC This was a pleasant surprise when I purchased a pint during the Essex county match - compared to almost £8 a pint during the ODI at Edgbaston last week. Fair play @WorcsCCC and @greeneking 👏

[Pete Bate @petebate]

@frankwatson58 was it Moeen Ali?

[Pete Bate @petebate]

@MikeJ_A @WorcsCCC Good question. I think he's more likely to get wickets than them if fully fit.

[Pete Bate @petebate]

@MikeJ_A @WorcsCCC Agree but Duffy has to come back in if fit, ahead of those two?

[Pete Bate @petebate]

@melindafarrell I thought that was the cafe you were referring to during commentary! They have one in Brum city centre too when you’re next there. Also great 👍🏼

[Pete Bate @petebate]

@ARMAANP59577952 @WorcsCCC There’s only two Kashif Alis 🎵

[Pete Bate @petebate]

@frankwatson58 Hi Frank. I’m one of the Worcestershire fans listening to you guys and watching the slightly paused live stream! Batters here putting in a valiant effort and playing as much for the next game against Yorkshire which already feels like a key fixture 👍🏼

Originally bought this as a teenager on tape, then on CD and now finally on vinyl. And it still sounds great! An underrated major label album from the enduring talent that is @martyn_joseph

@WorcsCCC Great news but the link doesn’t work 🥸 @WorcsCCC

Tony Campolo; sociologist, theologian, pastor and simply the most compelling public speaker and justice campaigner I’ve ever heard. Thank you Tony. I’ve spent my whole adult life learning from you, my dear, loved & trusted mentor. Rest in the joy of Christ you brought to so many.
