My suggestion for a new Northamptonshire Steelbacks team song - to the tune of Tony Newley’s “What Would I Be..” - altogether now, “Where Would We Be Without You, Sando?” Today saw Ben Sanderson’s 20th five-wicket haul for the County, level with Sir Curtly. Quality times two.
Another magical day out on the County Cricket Roadshow watching Middlesex Cricket take on Northamptonshire Steelbacks at Merchant Taylors' in Moor Park. A really good competitive day’s play in terrific company. What more do you need?
Peter Hardy Middlesex Cricket Northamptonshire Steelbacks Merchant Taylors' You saw some good cricket today, wish I’d been there. (Even though Northants have been terrible since Rips stepped down).
A fantastic 2 days Surrey Cricket v. Lancashire Cricket, topped by a smart, well-placed 227 from #RoryBurns. Today's🌧️a good chance to catch up on #ENGvSL: Smith ton; de Silva resistance; Jayasuriya spin. Bliss. #TestCricket #bbccricket Peter Hardy #CricketTwitter Nicholas Brookes
The past week of red-ball #cricket was fresh air: the return of #countychamp & absorbing #TestCricket. SL's surprising grit was heartening - both for my SL heritage & the overall health of the game. Must get a ticket for #EngvSL🤔 County Cricket Matters Peter Hardy Nicholas Brookes

Always great to be down at Hove. Many happy memories & this day - Sussex Cricket v Derbyshire CCC was no exception. The weather superb and the company first class.
Very good to see county cricket & the Vitality Blast thriving. Full house at Hove. A thumping win for Sussex Cricket. Please don’t forget about them in the unseemly rush for franchise cash #GOSBTS
A lovely day at Byfleet Cricket Club on 1st September but Cricket Society XI was well beaten by 53 runs. Thank you though to everyone at Byfleet Cricket Club who provided a sumptuous tea and a warm reception. We hope that you will have us back next year.
On This Day in 1981 Derbyshire CCC won the NatWest Trophy at Lord’s by defeating Northants, the county's first trophy for 45 years. A little-known statistic from this game...this side never played together again, even though Derbyshire played a JPL match the following day...
Always good to be in situ at Surrey Cricket for a Test match. Even better when a local boy scores a ton. Well done #ollliepope although he was helped by some pretty ordinary Srilankacricket bowling as well as some desultory fielding.
