The last round of Phase One of the County Championship finished on July 14th – Nearly 7 weeks later the second phase started on August 30th after a summer (of sorts) filled with white ball cricket, with Glamorgan taking the Royal London Cup home, with some test cricket thrown in.

Derbyshire remained without a win in the County Championship in 2021 but Kent got a win on the board with that man Darren Stevens shining with the bat (again) his 107 from 70 balls will have been a sight to see. It’s good to see 20 year old Jack Haynes backing up the brilliant 153 I saw him score against my team, Essex, with a decent red ball innings. The 6 teams in Division 1 Yorkshire,Warwickshire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Somerset and Hampshire are battling to decide who will be County Champions in 2021 and in addition who will contest the Bob Willis Trophy at Lord’s.
In spite of some of the things life has thrown at me it's hard to find me without a smile on my face.I have 2 beautiful children and now 3 lovely grandsons, I love sport and writing about it; which I do at debsknigsport.com
Here I want to share with you my thoughts on life, some sadness but hopefully a lot of happiness too. To show people that life can be wonderful even after tough times.
