2021 @blackcaps tweet reading "Welcome back Mark Chapman, Lockie Ferguson and Tim Seifert. The trio will all feature for the team today against England returning from rest or injury. Note - Ferguson has a new playing number (69) which is a significant number to him and his family. #T20WorldCup"

Let Lockie and his family live!!!

This is why I pay the licence fee

Keep forgetting this place exists but I feel you lot won't judge me for:

a) realising the smallest England shirt number tonight is Scurran's 58
b) calculating the average number in the XI is 78.6
c) finding the unused England numbers since 2022 are 1, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 21, 43, 45, 64, 69, 73, 74, 91

He's on again, number 7 here I come

Three Fudson Hudson-Pudson wickets while I was on the bus to catch the fourth, you're welcome

Glad I'm not the only one missing the first home day back in D1

One game with seven Thomases (England v Surrey in 1794) and the first FC game with six of them since 1858 but not even the first Hove match across formats with six between these two (Blast 2023, also Surrey v Somerset in the same comp one month later)

Overall? Nine Williams at Lord's for Gentlemen v Players in 1824 and 1825 as well as Otago v Canterbury in 1884, plus nine Johns for England v Surrey in 1803.

Got asked this on the other place but six Toms in Sussex v Somerset isn't even a Champo record sadly: seven Johns in Yorkshire v Notts in 1900 and Davids in Lancashire v Gloucs in 1968

Tom Banton looking poised to become the fourth April triple-centurion in Champo history and the third for Somerset in Taunton (Sam Northeast 335* for Glamorgan v Middlesex last year, Justin Langer 316 v Middlesex in 2007, James Hildreth 303* v Warwickshire in 2009)

Treating Twitter and Bluesky equally by somehow getting a random linebreak in the middle of this on both

Here's something absolutely stupid: in just 15 matches at the club, John Simpson now has the four highest scores in
Champo history by Sussex wicketkeepers (205* and 183* against Leicestershire last summer, 181* and counting here, 167 at his old stomping ground Lord's)

His dad played Hitler

Are you familiar with Ethan Bamber's 'Baby Hitler' nickname

[Nimoy voice] well my work is done here

Who needs the Waugh twins anyway

Anti-LASIK for Coops or demand Todd grows it out and gets it bleached?

Just need every cricket team in the world to start posting things here instead and then I'll break my addiction to it I swear

People listening to things without headphones can and must be shot on sight already though

I mean the other place is just the usual filth, only thing keeping me there is muscle memory

(yes I've remembered this place exists again, how are we all over here are we alive)

Is there a funnier sequence of test debuts than Sam Konstas (Raygun), Beau Webster (nicknamed Slug), Josh Inglis (literally from Leeds) and Cooper Connolly (four previous first-class matches)

And back to Twitter I go

Just be really careful how you say it so everyone thinks you have two triple-centuries instead

420 followers, 69 following. Sheer coincidence I swear.

Shout out to the funny numbers, maybe this place is alright
