Absolutely unbelievable history making performance tonight.

Not only did Sam Potter come in at 26-3 and score 50* but he then proceeded to take 10 wickets for 1 run off 3.5 overs.

Oh it also included 2 x hat tricks!

Incredible!!

@NikiKitsantonis The first period is too short notice and we have another holiday booked during the second period, so we cannot make use of it unfortunately.

We are appreciative of the gesture from the Greek gov, and hopefully many people can take advantage and support the island in the process

Pleased to say we are back in our hotel in #Lindos

Ended up staying the night in a school turned crisis centre in #Rhodes

Still radio silence from tour operators, absolute shambles. Special mention to the locals though who at 4am brought us food, drink, towels…

@NikiKitsantonis Hi Niki, we only received an email around 10 days ago informing us of the details - we weren’t sure if it was legit at first! It’s still a bit unclear about what exactly the T&Cs are, but there are set periods when you can go. (1/2)

Awesome news, big up the firefighters. Absolute heroes.

@kekrbtbtvvr @savvaskarma My friends went this morning to get their luggage, and the fire had got within metres of the rooms, ash inside. Now today it has got worse over there, not looking good.

Our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of these two heroes, who tragically lost their lives fighting the forest fires in Evia.

@TimmotayTrades @cryptoben123 @TUIUK Sorry there is no chance. My friends went this morning to get their luggage, and the fire had got within metres of the rooms, ash inside. Now today it has got worse over there, so no way unfortunately.

@Mushy_brown @vorrill @RN_Victor @charleypanova @LoggerJam @petrescu_bianca @LindosMare The fires close to Kalathos are all out now. Again, that’s not to say things won’t change however

[Simon Warne @warnestarr]

@vorrill @RN_Victor @Mushy_brown @charleypanova @LoggerJam @petrescu_bianca @LindosMare We have friends there and are actually going to a wedding ceremony at the venue next door. All is good there.

[Simon Warne @warnestarr]

@RN_Victor @Mushy_brown @charleypanova @vorrill @LoggerJam @petrescu_bianca @LindosMare Atm the fires are further to the south coast and heading west. Things can change very quickly but for now it is ok. We still have periods without running water and electricity in certain parts of the hotel though. It is supposed to cool down by the weekend which could help.

[Simon Warne @warnestarr]

@Mushy_brown @charleypanova @vorrill @LoggerJam @petrescu_bianca @LindosMare Yes, all good here now 👍🏼

@Friendsofpefkos No problem, please do share whenever you hear anything. Just want to do something to repay the kindness and compassion the local people have shown to us.

@MikeyP1987 @armagh_man Clear skies all around us this morning

[Simon Warne @warnestarr]

@38Cunni @rosie357 @kari_adamson Took us until 1:30pm on the first day to get a sunbed, or anywhere to sit at all. We literally had to stand next to bar waiting for other people to leave.

Obviously that’s got better as people have left and no new people to replace them.

Expect a 3* hotel. Food is ok though.

[Simon Warne @warnestarr]

@38Cunni @rosie357 @kari_adamson Not good to be honest. Even before all this happened there were issues. We were up til 4am first night because the air conditioning in the rooms is absolutely hopeless. We’ve resorted to leaving a key card in the room all day so the a/c keeps running, even then it’s too hot.

[Simon Warne @warnestarr]

@yayjanine @charleypanova @vorrill @LoggerJam @petrescu_bianca @LindosMare That’s good news, the sky does look much clearer now than it did this afternoon 🤞🏼 hope these firefighters are getting a few bonuses! 💶

@armagh_man @MikeyP1987 It got quite bad again where we are this afternoon but now it seems to have got better again now!

Hopefully they have managed to douse some of the flames.
