The Cricketer's well worth signing up to online. The only national outfit who actually still care about the county game and bother to send reporters to cover it.

It was the match referee. Nowt to do with Glamorgan. If a match ref marks a pitch below average or worse, it automatically triggers an investigation.

Imagine he's being rested for it. They ended up playing it on the Monday morning two years ago because of the weather.

For anyone who's not into cricket, you'll still have a good day and be supporting your county. The last final was my mate's first cricket game and he loved it. Best Leicester end since Bruges. The City away end influence from the last one gets a mention here three years on...

Apparently we were in for him too. Still seething at that. Atrocious decision in the context of the game. Genuinely looked like we were scared of Abbott at times today. I hope in future years Trent Bridge start marketing the final to neutrals earlier. Has so much potential as an event in the calendar, like Finals Day but with more opportunity for fans of both teams to congregate too. Would recommend popping into the library during the break, if youte not on the piss. Very impressive collection.

Gloveman, leader, batsman who plays across formats. He's arguably better value on that basis, pound for pound, than Foakes to Surrey. I reckon his value across all of those metrics outweighs anything extra he might have wanted financially. It'll be a dressing room clash. I do think Blake has great potential but I reckon Cox is the least dispensable player we have right now. Such a shame.

Bump for Sunday at Trent Bridge as the other thread was moved into General Sport.

Shame this was moved from the LCFC Forum. Surely the intention was to raise awareness among more of our own?

The target used to be maximum five minutes from order to collection when I worked in one. The service is now slower without the quality improving. I do wonder what metrics each branch is judged on nowadays.

Probably the most relaxed place I've ever been on holiday. We were the youngest people on our flight out there by at least three decades, though.

Kudos to Hampshire for doing everything in their power to be the least likeable county over the past couple of weeks... https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/sep/11/ashes-legal-dispute-hampshire-damages-england-cricket?fbclid=IwdGRjcAURJUdjbGNrBREkJHBkb2YBZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEec_7woJtZmoMgTQ2ug9stTuYjogLQAf1sfj8EB1CHCsA1VNf2VKVHB-Ugj7c_aem_ZzAi_p8v1McMC4aLNkx52Q

They're racist scum. No confusion about it either. People are deluded if they think this stops at "asylum seekers".

A couple clapped him off once their fans started but yeah, not brilliant. Shame the day finished as it did but that's the difference between title contenders and those at the bottom. The injury replacement rule must go at thr end of the season. It's a total joke.

Not exactly a noghtwatcan you could put your faith in. Surely you send out Davey in that scenario?
