The moment when @WarwickshireCCC clinched their 9th County Championship title.
How fitting that Ethan Bamber was the man to do it. His 69th of the season; the country’s leading wicket taker. He’s been relentless.
Red ball county cricket still matters.
A lot.

Sensational news from Edgbaston.
The middle of the back row of Block 25. Two other people are there!
They are not, quite, in his seat.
He was there the last 2 days.
Should he turn up, I’ll intervene.
Someone has to. This ain’t right.
@melindafarrell @GeorgeDobell1
Sam Hain goes to a magnificent century @Edgbaston. Taking @WarwickshireCCC to 300 & another batting point.
He came in at 22-2.
1000 champo runs for the season now. Terrific.
An innings of great skill, technique, application and mentality 🙌

Aggers just referred to the first ball from Ambrose which flew over Atherton’s head. I was here, behind the arm. I saw it.
It took off, one bounce into the sightscreen. Curtly just stood there, mid pitch, hands on hips ~ smiling. Athers eyes on stalks from under his helmet.

I opined “this might be over by lunch on Day 3”.
Nearly right. It was all over an hour before lunch.
We were on the outfield, having our sandwiches, before the nominal lunch interval Day 3.
A match not enjoyed by Jason Gallian on debut. Broke his finger.
@bbctms fyi!
The fabulous #Communards & Jimmy #Somerville. A brave man.
“Don’t Leave Me This Way” #totp 1986.
2 years later, in 1988, Thatcher’s government introduced Section 28.
It took until 2003 for it to be repealed in England & Wales.
Where, in 2014, same sex marriage was legalised.

I’m not entirely sure that the audience had the first idea what they were watching.
But that was often the case on #totp 🤦🏻♂️
Even by his stellar standards….. 🤩
Simply ridiculous. 🤯
Ben Foakes with one of the best takes standing up to the stumps you’ll ever see. 💥
Even Dean Elgar applauded it… 🤝

Genius.

Who is the player who gets their own Dining Room?
Where do the other players eat? What’s their menu?
Incorrect apostrophe usage!
The “home of cricket” hardly making a case for its automatic retention of Tests…
Standards. Please.
TODAY IS THE FUCKING DAY 😭
OGGI TORNA LA ROMAA, MI SEMBRA PASSATA UN'ETERNITÀ

FAI LA BRAVA 💛❤️
CC games at @Edgbaston this season? Great to watch!
Pitch v Surrey that led to a draw? That’s down to starting April 3rd.
Other 4 were superb contests bat v ball.
Saw 3 home wins, with 2 being cliffhangers. And 1 rain affected draw.
It’s been top stuff for the paying public.
last season we got marked very good for games on flat pitches that ended in draws, listening to members and people involved we changed our pitch’s for the better with a contest between bat and ball, now we get marked Above Average…@MichaelVaughan @Athersmike @WarwickshireCCC
Kudos to this groundstaff team @edgbaston today.
A fantastic game of cricket.
Been a long, hard, and murderously hot summer for @barnstonworth & co.
And they’ve still got over a month of graft to go.
It’s gone 7pm. Game has just ended. Their working day has not.
#YouBears
And @edgbaston, with scores level, 9 down, @chriswoakes crashes one to the boundary and @warwickshireccc win.
After @ohd_20 had played out 7 balls from Crocombe at the other end. The broadest of bats.
🧙♂️ + 🦉 = 🐻 triumphant 🙌🙌
What a game. Got to love champo 🏏
#YouBears
Captain Ed Barnard leads @warwickshireccc off @edgbaston.
Sussex all out 207. Some good, disciplined bowling from the infantry, again.
@chriswoakes, Ethan Bamber, Michael Booth, Ed Barnard and @ohd_20 working as a team.
Proper cricket, this.
203 the target….

Unfortunately ~ some vile comments in the replies. I’m posting screenshots below of some of them.
They are a grim insight into the crap people of colour will endure 😞.

The faces of modern Britain.
And I (a stale, pale, male) absolutely love it.
Sporting excellence, at an individual & team level, of the highest order.
And they come over in the interviews as terrific people, too.
THIS is Britain.
