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
Today I surprised myself by choosing to stay at home with my daughter who’s visiting from Paris rather than going to the Oval to watch Surrey v Essex.

Not so much of a result that the day was sandwiched between two Rugby World Cup games in Twickenham. I had a … More The Royal London Cup Final – Event 133
