Cricket weather arrived across the country and those with weather affected games last week must’ve been looking on with envy. The very same thing happened in 2023 and it had an effect on the tables at the end of the season. There were 4 games in Division 1 and 2 in Division 2. I’m starting out at the end of […]
A third round in April saw the Duke’s ball back in action, sadly one thing that hadn’t changed from the first 2 rounds was the weather! I’m starting my write up on Day 1 after a chilly, rainy day watching Essex v Lancs 54 overs were bowled. Yet, in spite of a late start then a very long, over 2 […]
The County Championship started on April 5th this year, the dates for the last 10 years have been – There’s a lot of ‘blame’ thrown the way of the Hundred (which started in 2021) for what’s being taken as an early start this year, but the previous 10 years has the start 6 of the 10 years seasons starting on […]
By doing a weekly round up of the whole County Championship for the last few years, I haven’t had the chance to write in detail about my team, Essex, I’ve […]
Round 16, but the 14th game for all Counties started on September 26th! That, is slightly mad! I drove to Northampton for Day 1 of the game against my Essex. […]
For some reason only known to the ECB the 2 teams challenging for the Championship didn’t play last week when the weather was good. Autumn and rain seems to have […]
This was one of those weeks when not every team played – Weird, again, with the Summer wending it’s way out of 2023 it would surely have made sense to […]
The return of the County Championship coincided with a heatwave across the country, of course in the week the children go back to school! I’d enjoyed the cricket I watched […]
The rain ‘won’ the day at Old Trafford and Australia retain the Ashes with that draw, there was bound to be at least 1 rain affected match and Australia did […]
This round of matches coincided with the start of the the 4th Ashes Test at Old Trafford, I’m sure many like me were keeping a good eye on proceedings there […]
As the 3rd Ashes Test finished a day early at Headingley s full round of County Championship matches started the following day. I was up in Scotland and saw a […]
5 days at Edgbaston for the first Ashes Test meant I was in need of some ‘chilled’ cricket, that, believe it or not came in the shape of a T20 […]
A week ago I went to watch Essex play Sussex in the T20 Blast – it was, in all honesty, freezing! I had a hoodie, a coat and a scarf […]
An opportunity to watch county cricket at one of my favourite international grounds was too good not to take, cue 3 days at Trent Bridge! It seems crazy that it’s […]
Round 6 saw some semi-decent weather, but there were still plenty of drawn games, I was due to go to Edgbaston in Day 1 but drove through torrential rain so […]
The second of three bank holidays in May saw the round of county cricket starting on the Thursday, when the sensible option would have been to start on the Friday […]
