A Sunday and 7 matches, one of which I was at (You can probably guess which!) I’m sitting down to write this as Line of Duty is on the TV, I have work in the morning, so bed will be calling. However I’ve become slightly obsessed with getting these written and out on the same … More The Royal London Cup – Star Men Watch – Day 9
6 matches today and as I look down the list I can see that 5 of them were decided by the Duckworth Lewis Stern Method. I tend to write these matches up in the order they’re posted on the BBC, which means my torture can come last. One of the benefits of the D/L method … More The Royal London Cup – Star Men Watch – Round 7
4 matches today on the day the weather decided to be more April like than Summer like.

I drove to the Durham area from Nottingham via Fountains Abbey, I lingered longer than planned, it’s simply stunning! I’d booked an Airbnb in Lanchester a few miles outside of Durham, the welcome was amazing and the accommodation lovely!
