Cricket fan, coach, writer Music’s not what it was in my day
Some wonderful finishes to the season (1976 was epic), a host of overseas stars, some funky outgrounds, regular BBC2 coverage voiced by Arlott and Laker - a joy!

The format will be ditched within a couple of years and replaced with franchised t20.

“He and his party have never run anything – a local council, a parish council. He’s spent a lifetime doing what he accuses others of doing, which is riding the political gravy train”
Farage will take your votes and then take the piss. Don’t give him that chance.

Crooked Hillary Clinton and her team "were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information." Not fit!

Not what I would go for, but I fear it is the direction of travel. Hundred will be T20 in a couple of years and will kill off the Blast, in my view. In the meantime, enjoy the 2025 season!

Basharat Hassan hitting the ball to leg side as slip fielder watches on
Born in Nairobi, Kenya, Sheikh Basharat Hassan is the holder of the record John Player League run aggregate against a single county, scoring 805 runs in total for Nottinghamshire against Warwickshire, at an average of 100.6, including centuries in 3 successive seasons 1979-81. ❤️🏏 #johnplayerleague
23.03.2025 08:17 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Is the suggestion a single fixture per season in Ireland, or 2 different counties each round playing a fixture there?
If just one fixture per season, potential sponsors may be wary as limited exposure and potential of weather spoiling.
