An awful thing to read. Josh and I were linked: him with his club’s all-time highest score (216), me with the record bowling figures. It is terrible to think that this man so carefree, so energetic, so warm, so handsome, has been taken from us, aged just 34. x.com/surreycricke...

Today I attended my county’s first professional women’s game. A last-ball win over a very strong opposition. I’m completely hooked. Suddenly I have two dozen more @somersetccc.bsky.social games to watch every season, and two dozen more players to call “ours”. I feel very lucky.

By my calculations:
£52m for recreational game
£14m + 51% equity for Big Eight
£28m for other 10 counties
£28m for MCC
Total equity sold: £523m
Total equity valued: £921m
Beyond ECB’s wildest dreams.
