Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of an icon. A legend, our hero, Sir Everton Weekes. Our condolences go out to his family, friends and many fans around the world. May he rest in peace. 🙏🏽

Can't wait to see how they format the Championship this year. Maybe not even call it a Championship?

[strangepasserby @strangepsbcric]

Great to re-live this, I wonder how this ended...

[Middlesex Cricket @Middlesex_CCC]

💯 for @dmalan29!! 👏👏

A brilliant innings! What total can we set Yorkshire? 🤔

My Outlook calendar just reminded me Middlesex would've been playing Surrey in one minute. That's harsh of it...

[AFC Wimbledon @AFCWimbledon]

On the 18th anniversary of the FA commission’s decision that resurrecting a club from its ashes was "not in the wider interests of football", we will be announcing details of another important step in AFC Wimbledon’s remarkable journey. News to follow later. #AFCW @TheDonsTrust

@CricketFanBob No grassroots cricket until August??

[strangepasserby @strangepsbcric]

With today's Premier League and European Tour announcements, the ECB looks rather foolish.

[Tim Wigmore @timwig]

Some more details on English domestic cricket this year:

- August 1 start date for Championship, with season going on until October for 1st time ever
- Aug 27 for T20 Blast (with same regional groups as Championship)

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, March 2020 was the first March without a school shooting in the U.S. since 2002.

I miss cricket.

Middlesex would probably have been batting and 25/2 in an hour's time.

[Hampshire Cricket @hantscricket]

Hampshire Cricket can announce it has taken the decision to cancel the contract of overseas player, Nathan Lyon.

@benstokes38 To be fair - headlines are seldom if ever the responsibility of the actual writer. You can blame the sub-editor for that.

[Middlesex Cricket @Middlesex_CCC]

Enjoy your retirement, @Ollie2rayner! 👏

He had many unforgettable moments in a Middlesex shirt, but was this 15fer against Surrey at the Oval his greatest?! 👊

A fantastic servant for the club! 🙌

Well, we didn't close our pubs in the blitz

What happened to our nation?

@andrewnixon79 More obscure than the one right before that, anyway!

[strangepasserby @strangepsbcric]

They'll probably bin off the 50 over competition and cut the Blast in favour of saving the 100...

@johnny5raimondi @sambillings I think that's it though, those clubs are irreplaceable and that's why I took offence. Anyway Sam and I have chatted it out in DM so we've clarified any misunderstandings.

[strangepasserby @strangepsbcric]

You know what, let's see a random footballer coming in and suggesting Kent lose first-class status.

[Sam Billings @sambillings]

@GNev2 / are there too many football clubs in our system anyway?
