@BrandonTucker Top 100 UK Clubs are pumping their prices because Americans will pay top $ to play them. As someone who has booked group trips for the last 15 years I’ve seen day ticket prices spiral. Keeps subs for members low and the higher prices mean they have to tolerate fewer visitors
@WisdenCricket He’s just not world class. Average, strike rate and economy in Teats all significantly down on someone like Ravi Jadeja. And before you say “Indian conditions” he’s also a way off Maharaj for e.g. May be the best left arm spinner in the UK but that’s not saying anything
@Cricknight07 It’s 2026 and many of these were finished before 2010 and did much of their work in the 1990s. They are some greats here but others have done more since 2000
@AMP86793444 Come on lads. Put the pearls away and toughen up. Not like he got sconed. Brian Close would have told the non-striker to bugger off and mind his own business.
@WG_RumblePants It was overcast and humid. Ball was doing loads. People around me said the pitch might have been a bit two paced as some good players patted it to mid off
@markuswrites I have fallen back in love with it. Crowd this week was much more cricket focused than the experience hunters that have dogged it in recent years. Maybe going when it’s not a marquee series means you are there with proper cricket lovers. That said the prices are outrageous
@cricket_badger I really didn’t pick the same things out. Stokes showed vulnerability, compassion and the sort of resilience that would be beyond almost anyone of lesser character. Flawed certainly. I can’t think of another who has survived longer under such sustained pressure.
@hawkhampshire Village cricket is mostly “friendly” bar the national village comp which is different thing entirely. In league cricket “village” is slang for poor cricket. League by definition is about winning and getting promoted. Which is why people might consider cheating. Still wrong!
@NoLayingUp@KylePorterNS It’s a hot summer here so the rough is easier in places than they’d hope. But the 62s are an anomaly. 5 shots better than anyone else in the top 10 and they both can this morning before the wind got going
