Fantastic innings by Kevin Wickham for Barbados and got them back in the game.

Pretty even game now.

I have just read @anniechave.bsky.social article in The Cricket Paper about opening day of the County season. It got me thinking about the domestic red ball game and it's link to the Test team these days.

So with the County Chmpionship finished for the day, time to switch YouTube channels and watch a bit of the West Indies Championship.

Interesting format this year. Barbados v Jamaica for me this evening.

I cant believe it has taken me so many years to finally watch this. Fantastic film which shows just how cricket is a unifier. Personally, for me, a fantastic film. 🏏

I have a feeling there are going to be a few draws this weekend in the #CountyChampionship.

A lotion rain forecast at each game, so unless a team scores a lot quickly and then bowls the opposition out cheaply twice, I dont see any wins at the end of Monday.

Free entry after tea is one of the best things that cricket offers.

Especially on a day when it's like this!!! 🌞

Some lunch time reading at Edgbaston today.

As the County Championship has begun for 2026, I got think about what the cost of going to watch each county costs. I have checked all 18 counties to see what their cheapest adult ticket prices are.

See thread

Its almost here......the greatest red ball competition in the world.

THE 2026 COUNTY
CHAMPIONSHIP

Great player and a T20 legend. All the best for the future Ravi.

Poor from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 not to even try. Would it really be wrong with England A, branded as England, actually playing in this tournament. Look at the ODIs a few years ago against Pakistan. Was nowhere near englands first XI but got ODI status.

The first 6 male and female players nominated for the selection to the T20 Hall of Fame.

I have wanted this for a while and hope their is an actual location for the Hall of Fame. Edgbaston would be good as the home of finals day.

I decided to start a podcast. I aim to release an episode before each round of the Championship, so please give, Under the Ragged Staff a listen. Its less than 15 minutes & do feel free to let me know how bad it is. Its a bit rough & ready I'm afraid 🤣 #YouBears 🐻🔵🟡

Is there a shift in attitude towards the IPL. Duckett and Brook opted to not play and now Jamie Smith and Josh Tongue opting to prioritise red ball over money.

Shouldn't take being humbled to act professional. The point about it not being news if 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 won Ashes is dumb. They didnt, so it is an issue. There seems no fear of some players being dropped, allowing it to come across as touring with England, is like going on a stag do.

IPL begins today & I get it is a massive event, but I wonder how cricket fans outside India feel about it.

Do global cricket fans support teams or players in the IPL?

Do English cricket fans watch IPL to get a cricket fix or because they genuinely like the IPL?

Refreshed the account and starting again.

The aim this season is to post regular updates on my thoughts and feelings about cricket through 2026 and beyond.

That is the aim, hopefully I can see it through.
