Even better, don't sample it, but buy the physical media and listen to it as God intended. Best thing I listened to in 2025, utterly beautiful (and I'd never heard of Louis Philippe until that point)

I agree. Sussex have what they need. Assuming Hants win, then the worst case, abd highly unlikely, scenario is that Yorkshire take full bonus points and yet still somehow contrive to lose. They'd be on 154, meaning, we'd need 155 (3 more). (I think that's right)

I liked him: willing, hits the deck, 27.41 avg in first spell (for 24 wickets) would be handy, key role in our terrific victory at Blackpool, but would like a few more runs this time.

Tbf, we've been pretty good against teams whose name begins 'Su'. And we definitely need to be in our next Champo game

If you're in the vicinity, do yourself a favour and go. I am abroad and cannot, so I will content myself with the recently-discovered and purchased Thunderclouds and The Road to the Sea, both bloody marvellous.

If they had anything about them, they'd cancel this experiment (which completely ignores the fact that English pitchescare not Australian ones) and revert to the Dukes.

I read and thoroughly enjoyed your book a few years ago, so I know it's not such a bad place to be.
Intend to return to that and related others by Ian Ridley and Duncan Hamilton if I make my dotage

It'll never happen, but I'd go back to 2 divisions of 9, 16 games, play during August, Hundred players won't be available, manage it!

You have more than done your bit and are a very important voice for what I am sure is the many of us who despair at the county game's direction of travel.
The ECB waffle about greater equality and inclusivity, but remove opportunities by shrinking it.

Cox's injury was the reason we lost to Somerset imo.
Strange season: should have won that game, couldn't force wins from good positions vs Surrey twice & Notts.
We're not that far off, but the even thinner squad this season is really biting

We like a left-handed opener. Wasn't he on our radar before Elgar signed? Might indicate that Elgar, with new family and diminishing runs, is ready to call time.
Or maybe they want PW to bolster middle order competition - atm, there is none.
Don't care for de Caires.
Ofc, may be pie in the sky
