Another gorgeous day at Clifton Park

Another decent crowd at North Marine Road

All set for Yorkshire v Worcestershire. Clifton Patk looking a picture as always.

I think of Andy Burnham whenever I see this sign in Camden.

I miss the old door.

I rarely watch it, but I see ITV News are leading on Elon Musk’s wealth without providing any insight. ….

There's probably never been a better time to remind you that when David Hockney first took his Mum to California she remarked 'all this lovely weather and nobody puts their washing out'.

On Saturday 13th June, we will be hosting our annual quiz in the Marquee at Scarborough CC. 7:30PM for an 8PM start, teams representing @yorkshireccc.bsky.social & Warwickshire, with an interval quiz for everyone and a cash bar. Admission on door £2.50 All welcome! @jonathandoidge.bsky.social

“UKIP's here.” New Reform councillor has to be corrected on which party he now represents

Radio 4's election programme taking a 12 minute break at 12.48am for the Shipping Forecast is one of the many reasons why it's the jewel in the BBC's crown.

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic! Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

ANNOUNCEMENT: YCCSA are delighted to announce that we will be continuing to produce scorecards for the 2026 season, in collaboration with @yorkshireccc.bsky.social. We would like to give a huge thank you to our new scorecard sponsor, Dunesforde Vineyard.

In case you were wondering: Yes, there is a Jonathan the Great Tortoise angle to the Pam Bondi firing news.

A Labour Party TD who was due to propose a motion on reducing congestion could not do so, because of a traffic delay on the M50 this morning www.rte.ie/news/politics/2026/0121/1554356-m50-traffic-labour/

We thoroughly recommend any cricket societies or groups who follow us to organise a viewing of it for their members. Here's the IMDB link about the film: www.imdb.com/title/tt3218... And here's information about the film from Paul's film company: jugganort.com/game-changer/ 2/2

Is there a role for Alec Stewart going forward?#ECB

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.

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.

All set for day 2 @yorkshireccc.bsky.social @somersetccc.bsky.social

Good to be back. A glorious morning in Taunton.

Someone on the train had a call to which were all treated as it’s on loudspeaker. ‘Are you on the train?’ ‘Yes I’m on the train’ I’m just reminding you about the 3 o clock alert’. ‘ I know’. Alexander Graham Bell must be so proud.

Made the mistake of flicking on a news channel. Ah we’re at the White House where Tangoman has solved another war. Within a minute the Azerbaijani dictator is nominating him for a Nobel peace prize. I’ve switched over to S4C for the Eisteddfodt. It’s making more sense.

Taking advantage of one of the few days the West stand is open for Yorkshire this season in today’s double header.

There has been a fair bit of discourse as to whether sports clubs do enough on this app, or whether it is dying of late, from #LUFC to Somerset CCC. For those organisations, it always has been a numbers game, and it is difficult to break the hold of twitter on them... THREAD.

Rod Stewart at Glastonbury on BBC1 at 1915. The same time as Antiques Roadshow is on BBC2. Why show the same thing on two channels at once?

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 We are pleased to announce that, until the end of the 2025 season, we are taking over the running of the production, printing and selling of scorecards at Headingley, in collaboration with @yorkshireccc.bsky.social You can buy a scorecard for just £1 at the 'Kabin' (pictured).

A new 21st century attendance record at the Kia Oval 📈🚨 Thank you to 1⃣4⃣,8⃣5⃣3⃣ supporters for making our victory all the more memorable and helping us break the record set last year! County cricket in south London is well and alive ❤️ Learn more 🔗 buff.ly/NQ56uA0 🤎 | #SurreyCricket

@martycricket.bsky.social Afternoon Marty. Migrated to your match after watching online us ( Yorkshire) going down at Southampton. Looking forward to a first visit for quite a few years to CL-S over Easter. Please ensure similar weather!

Haven’t watched QVC in a very very long time, but I think I’m seeing an apprentice pitch for a job on there tonight. The way this whole ‘episode’ is playing out is bizarre to put it kindly. Entertaining for those laughing and lapping it up for now.

Seeing Mogga in the dug out is one of the best images this week.

Popped into Tesco. A poor selection of Easter Eggs. I’ll try again in a week or two.
