Anyone else spotted the 'HAWK TUAH' banner in the crowd?

Nice interview with Kimber: https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics/county-cricket-premium/louis_kimber_day_out_you_always_feel_like_capable_doing_something_like_this_one_day.html?t=638552482147653023

Was driving through a few pit villages in Derbyshire yesterday. The amount of Reform placards/posters (most of them up illegally!) was depressing. My God though, Toby Perkins doesn't half have some personal popularity in Chesterfield. No wonder he kept his seat when everywhere else round there was going blue last time.

Sod's law that about the only Saturday white ball game of the season is then.

Our overseas dealings have been great lately. The antithesis of Jon Rudkin.

The semis and scheduling has been dreadful, but the format's about right for where world cricket is right now.

Still an easy choice.

Very fair assessment of the situation.

My Indian work colleague genuinely fancies popping down to see Rahane.

Kimber In!

What is it about Sussex away that produces these mad games?

Seems almost boring to mention it's also a record partnership for the eighth wicket, beating Swindells and Barnes three years ago.

The single at the end is an amazing punchline. Lunch has come at the wrong time.

Oh yippee, more false equivalence. Just what this thread needed.

Backing ourselves to be more likely to chase any total more than we are to take 20 wickets, which is probably right at the moment sadly.

If the relevant people at LCFC think that price point is right for the anticipated product we're about to witness, then they're dangerously unqualified to do their jobs.

I'll write a letter directly to Top. He'll be outraged to hear about this he will!!!

Really growing into this tournament.

Also quite surprised to see a few around there. There's a Tory one on the road out by Prestwold but that's it.

People need to stop blaming "modern football" and start blaming Leicester City Football Club.

So depressing seeing young blokes fall for the grift. Being right-wing doesn't automatically make you hard, lads.

Got you. Plenty get moved to Sundays, or even Saturday evenings, in the Bundesliga.

Reform placard was going up around the corner from us earlier this evening. Heart sank a bit. People are being conned - again.

Eurostar via Brussels and Cologne is more enjoyable if you have the time and don't mind spending a bit extra.

Great stuff. Sure him or someone he knows would be able to sort you for getting into the ground. And definitely get involved next season! Set aside a whole afternoon for the Football Museum too! Brilliant place.
