I used to live for this day, the eve of the County Championship, the excitement, the hope, the thrill of finally getting your campaign underway after months of graft in preparation. All the best to everyone of the privileged few that get to perform tomorrow, enjoy every moment.

I am so short of rationale for the news today. These were some of the greatest moments of my life , Shane was the ultimate competitor and simply the best bowler that ever lived. So many amazing memories, to my greatest adversary, I will miss you legend 👊🏻🙏🏻

This surely is an easy and very obvious decision for @ECB_cricket , the domestic one day final has to be at the @HomeOfCricket, priced accordingly to fill the occasion …. no brainer.

Spot on from @sambillings , Paul Farbrace recruitment has been outstanding @SussexCCC and the key word in there is ‘development’ …. it’s not just enough to be talented, young talent needs to know what’s required and how to reach their potential, they do now.
Fair play to Sussex. Had to endure a couple of years of disappointment but look a serious team now. Smart recruitment and development of young talent. As a non test match ground 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.

Incredibly proud dad moment …… that question you ask your kids “What do you want to do when you grow up?” …… there was only ever one answer from Number 1 “I want to play for England” …. so proud @GeorgiaAdams01 and so well deserved 🏴🦁🦁🦁❤️.
🏴 Kemp and Adams selected to tour Ireland 🏴. All-rounder @kempfreya and captain @georgiaadams01 have been included in @englandcricket's ODI and IT20 squads respectively 🦁. Congratulations both 🎉. 📰 Full story 👉 #BewareTheVipers 🐍

Very disappointing news …. 6 months to get this sorted and it’s a week late , why ? In my new role I will ask the question 🙏🏻.
Due to a delay in issuing his visa, @cheteshwar1 will not be available for this week's match against Nottinghamshire. 📝. Pujara will still be available for five rounds of County Championship cricket out of the first six fixtures, starting with Derbyshire next week. 📆.
