I love cricket, I absolutely love test #cricket Why are we shunting this out of August and out of the game globally to watch people dressed as crisps or people pretending to play for cities they've never set foot in

Delighted we’ve won this, I’ve enjoyed watching the group games.
Just wish I could have been there!

Shame these games haven’t been better supported.
Decent games and Surrey going very well and won the group. They deserve better crowds.

I deeply dislike the FIFA-esque money men running English cricket. They cut the Championship & sideline England players but want Ashes/WTC success; devalue the ODC but want World Cup success; & think 16-over games are the key to T20 success—all while chasing short-term profits over real progress.

Today is the last day of weekend County Championship cricket at The Oval this season.
This and the kookaburra ball show how little the ECB think of it and soon we’ll have the confirmation of a reduction in games.
Wreckers.

Enjoying the Test match?
We're only ONE WEEK AWAY from men's County Cricket Day, so why not take the opportunity to enjoy an affordable day out at the cricket in person?
There's no better place to spend a summer afternoon with your mates or the family.

Very pleased Mitch Santner has extended his spell at Surrey.
Given our away draws this year and now the Kookaburra ball, with which we have yet to win, he could be crucial.

The tiny crowd at Old Trafford last night for the T20 Blast. So sad. ECB have achieved their frankly inexplicable goal of killing off the Blast & the counties. Rather than recognise & promote a wonderful loved product and competition. Various decisions & deliberate acts of sabotage have led to this
