  • Week 248 – December 9th – New Kent coach

    This afternoon, Kent announced their new cricket coach to be Adam Hollioake.

    This is a good choice going by his playing career, just hope people don’t go on that he played for Surrey, as he should help bring good players to the county.

    Hopefully he can turn the club fortune around and sort out why we get so many injuries, especially to our bowlers.

    Good luck Adam.

  • Week 247 – December 8th – Strike it lucky again

    Third time this week with a comment during a match on ESPNcricinfo. Also good that they have interacted too with my comments.

    Made into the commentary of the next South Africa v England women’s ODI.
  • Week 247 – December 4th – I made it again

    I managed to get another comment to appear on ESPNcricinfo during the South Africa v England women’s ODI.

    Batters should never bat out of position, but teams do it so often. Fair enough in this case with an injury

    Then another.

    They didn’t get enough and South Africa beat England
  • Week 246 – November 27th – New Zealand v England

    This evening I mention to get a comment posted during the New Zealand v England test match that was due to start.

    cricinfo
    Why would you be in a competition and not try to win it when playing for your country? Impressed to make it on the live commentary for an England test match.

    Good to the commentator agreed with me.

  • Week 246 – November 27th – ESPNcricinfo

    Those people that having being following me on my blog, know that I have been doing a cricket projects since the Covid 19 pandemic started in 2020.

    Today I completed my 1500th match review and have only found 5 matches without errors or mistakes in.

    On to 2000 matches now.

  • Week 243 – November 6th – Lords survey

    This morning I did a survey regarding Lords, I did mention that it was great to be able to walk on the ground after the test match and that I did this after the 1983 World Cup final.

    It would be good if they could allow this more. We’ll see.

  • Week 236 – September 19th – Kent down

    Well I’m surprise it took this long before we were finally relegated to division 2 in the County Championship.

    You can’t not score runs in the 1st innings and then let teams score 400 or 500 runs in their 1st innings and expect to win or even draw matches.

    Let see what the new coach can do with the player’s next season. First thing will be to stop all the injuries, so that we put out our best team to compete.

    Think I’ll have a drink or two at the bar tonight.

  • Week 232 – August 22nd – Surrey v Lancashire – Part 5

    Rocky Flintoff. Considering this was his first class debut, it was good to see how he interacted with the crowd. Hope he has a good career.

    Early finish due to the light, but a good day for Surrey as they finished on 83-0.

    With how the fixtures are planned for the rest of the season and other things going on, this is likely to be last day at a cricket match this year.

    Considering the weather this summer, been lucky to see so much and very fortunate to be at Jimmy Anderson’s last test day.

    I hope you have enjoyed the pictures and videos from the days?
