A great afternoon hearing from some of the behind the scenes folk @yorkshireccc.bsky.social Liam ( analyst), Jasmine ( groundskeeper) and Howard (announcer). Thanks to @yccsa1981.bsky.social for hosting.

I had the theme of a 70s police drama occasionally sung at me for a while in the late 70s/early 80s -completely obliviously as I’d never seen it.

The clue was when their parents said I Do a few more times than was customary at their wedding.

Sarah Mullally is (or will be when formally installed) the first Archbishop of Canterbury to share her surname with anyone who played multiple Tests for England since Matthew Hutton in 1758. More recently Geoffrey Fisher and Rowan Williams shared theirs with one Test wonders.

Yes. All the hits present and correct. Not much interaction between songs now I think about it.

Saw Hall and Oates a few years ago just before their big bust up. I don’t think I had owt to do with it.

I thought Agarwal’s knock was β€˜a bit special’ but that last dozen overs was truly bonkers.

It seemed a nailed on draw at lunch. I thought Agarwal’s innings was something special but that session was something else. Best wishes for next season. Hope we’re back competing with other in 2027.

What a knock from Agarwal today. Class from start to finish. Work to be done tomorrow but a very good day.

He was as ever-present at Scarborough as normal this season, and I heard he was watching Barnsley only a few days ago

Still actively supporting Yorkshire and Barnsley right to the end. RIP Dickie

I’ll be honest. I’ve seen a bit more play than I feared when I saw the forecast earlier. The PA having fun with the music at the second interruption. β€˜Why Does It Always Rain On Me’ followed by β€˜It’s Raining Again’ . Now stopped again so hopefully we’ll be back on before too long.

Will there be extra security in Leeds to keep you and JD apart? πŸ˜‚ We both stayed up after a draw in the last game of the season in 2006 featuring a big hundred for Ottis Gibson and an even bigger one for Darren Lehmann.

As we go back to 22 x 3 day games a season in a one division format. It was the only format unanimously agreed. No one wanted it.

I guess your agent has checked this out with the weather Gods? πŸ˜‚

The game at Headingley next week is going to be interesting.

A single she disavows these days. But for me one of her best.

Ravi’s surely good for another season or two?

I love the fact Annie β€˜goes the extra mile’ with that personal touch. Met her at Taunton today with a couple of mates and Harry Everett rocked up as well. So good to meet with passionate county fans.

Annie kindly signed my β€˜waterlogged’ copy in Taunton today. 🫣

Hopefully we’ll see some play tomorrow. ( Three Yorkies who’ve still enjoyed the Taunton experience 😊)

Going to be a frustrating day in Taunton as well I think.
