@Marcus60s70s80s @DavidKHopps @SharpyKev0604 Think it was his last year on the staff. My first year was 1980 and I was never on the staff together with Rocker.

[Simon Dennis 💙 @simonsjd]

@SharpyKev0604 Yes 😂 1979

Not sure how we end up with MP’s with no understanding of the basics of how this works 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Private schools — which only 7% of children attend — divert resources from the state school system, entrench inequality from childhood, and create and maintain privilege.

Taxpayers should not subsidise a two-tier education system.

[Simon Dennis 💙 @simonsjd]

Yes, we once did first day of Championship game at Headingley on Saturday with Sunday League fixture at Taunton next day. Back to Headingley for Monday. Happy days 😊

[Peter Whiteley @peterwhiteley06]

And a more difficult one - does anyone know who “Gibson” was that the cup is named for?

[Simon Dennis 💙 @simonsjd]

@Marcus60s70s80s @pushkar_g_singh @SharpyKev0604 They were tough leagues. I remember Mark Greatbatch making a Saturday afternoon very unpleasant at a small Farsley ground in the later 80’s. Farsley ground was 100% too small to bowl at Mark 🫣

[Simon Dennis 💙 @simonsjd]

@Marcus60s70s80s @pushkar_g_singh @SharpyKev0604 Remember this game and the battles with Martin in the Yorkshire League Scarborough v Bradford 😊

[Kevin Sharp @SharpyKev0604]

Can’t get over how nice this ground is! You don’t get many proper cricket grounds in this country, but this has to be one of the best!

Lovely afternoon and great to reunite with old friends.

[Kevin Sharp @SharpyKev0604]

So enjoyable @yorkshireccc players association get together, so good to catch up with former comrades and watch some outstanding cricket. Headingley looked a picture.

This was a really important interview with the former Yorkshire physio Kunwar Bansil

@ThemapNeil Well that’s a really good point Neil 🤷🏼‍♂️. Hope you’re well

[Simon Dennis 💙 @simonsjd]

Very hard on New Zealand but Stokes wouldn’t have pushed for two off the last ball if three had been required. May have ended up in the Tavern 💁🏼‍♂️
