County Championship Round 7 – 2023

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 only Mid-May and we’re into the 6th match fro most teams, Round 7 on my watch as not all teams have played each time, it’s all very confusing! There were […]

County Championship Round 6 – 2023

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 didn’t see my team bowled out for cheap. Day 1 was in general a good day to bowl! That was a some on the weather. With the Ashes now only […]

County Championship Round 5 – 2023

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 and continue into the Monday. The same thing happened on Bank Holiday 1 and we have no County Cricket over weekend 3. That, in my mind is a bit daft! […]

County Championship Round 3 – 2023

A stupidly busy Thursday, with a play in London and a show in Southend means I’m coming to this at the end of Day 2 – Friday was a busy one too! Most games were rain affected on Day 1 and indeed some on Day 2 as well. THE performer of the round did his thing on Day 1 however! […]

County Championship Round 2 – 2023

A much needed visit to Scotland to visit family means I’m watching this round from afar, and in fact on a train as I start to write. Disappointed to be missing Jimmy v Sir Alastair but hoping for an Essex win, any photos will be Essex focused without the ability to take more. The weather hasn’t been as kind for […]

Things have finally caught up, with every County playing this week, playing their 13th game of 14.. The County Champions were decided with a week to go, today, Friday the 23rd September is the first day of Autumn and we’ve seen some crazy scores, none less than at the Cloud County Ground in Chelmsford. A game that was over in […]

The County Championship Round 12

With the rugby union season fast approaching my season ticket for my team, Saracens in bought at a cost of £755 for 16 home fixtures, I thought I’d have a look at prices for County Cricket ,memberships in 2022. I haven’t been able to find all Division 1 prices or show direct comparisons, but I think you’ll agree this game […]

The County Championship Round 10

Round 10 saw 9 matches up and down the country, my team, Essex we’re playing at home against Gloucestershire, so excuse the photos being from Day 1 of that particular match! The ECB showed just how much they care about the Championship decided in their wisdom to arrange a Lions game, taking valuable players from many clubs, that was in […]

The County Championship Round 9

Week 9 of the County Championship came in the midst of the T20 Blast it also coincided with Covid catching up with me meaning I missed out on both Essex beating Surrey in the Blast and Day 1 of the CC match against Hampshire. More of that later as it was the first match of the round to finish. England […]

The County Championship Round 8

Several rounds of the T20 Blast in and we had a round of the County Championship, well 16 of the 18 counties did anyway. I’m starting this on Day 3 of 4 and can see that 2 of the 8 games have been won, both of those in Division 2. Day 3 is also the day that Johnny Bairstow played […]

The County Championship 2022 – Round 6

This was a week when winning the toss wasn’t great, in most cases, as you’ll see below! The weather has been mixed in Essex over the last week with a smattering of rain over several days, I imagine that will have been replicated across the country. It’s hard to know the reasons behind the absolute runs fest happening in virtually […]

The County Championship 2022 – Round 5

A long pre-planned theatre trip and a daughter to get to the Eurostar meant I wasn’t able to attend the first 2 days at the Cloud County Ground to watch Essex v Yorkshire. Day 3 was a no brainer with Joe Root due to bat. There were 3 draws in the 7 matches played and centuries up and down the […]

The County Championship 2022 – Round 4

My daughter arriving from Paris and a couple of brilliant theatre trips put paid to me being at the County Ground to see the Essex batters collapse for a second consecutive week. I managed to keep tabs on all of the matches and know I’m going to have another sizeable list of centuries at the end of this write up. […]

The County Championship 2022 – Round 1

Having spent a weekend in Paris in glorious sunshine in Mid-March, Spring decided it wasn’t quite ready to arrive fully and the first day of the new County Championship season saw me dressed in thermals as if I was going to watch a rugby match! It was COLD! The wind being the biggest issue in Chelmsford, the ‘new’ floodlights swaying […]
