Quickly becoming an old cynical cricket coach. When winning the Toss in India.... Bat, bat and bat. Is cricket becoming over complicated? Put them in the field to wilt and die for 4hrs! C'mon England, prove me wrong!🤞

In its 23rd year it’s still inspiring to witness the @MCCFCricket Under 12s and Under 11s - many on their 1st ever cricket tour - playing the longer format of the game. The last 9days have been truly magical, even with the challenges of our weather. Wednesday is the final day.

Lovely to see this today at the @MCCFCricket on Day 2 of Under 12s Competition at @RHSSuffolk In fact 3,452 wickets were claimed by this group of 4 former professional bowlers: @ToppersSnr @Graham_Napier Ray East & Chris Silverwood - all 4 have an association with @EssexCricket

Visited the impressive State Administative Government Offices in Bengaluru and those visitings senior ministers from Hyderabad- joined them for their team photo😳 Also met a family who were celebrating a birthday by being in town. Charming! Just spent a few hours out & about!👍

Bengaluru/Bangalore is just so so different to those big cities: cleaner air, less traffic & polution, tree lined roads, , vegetation, decent pathways even cycle lanes. Very relaxed, even a perocial feel to the communities in this garden state of Karnataka.

Game Day v SL at @RCBTweets Chinnaswamy. 2day (& Sun v India) were my 2 Eng games earmarked as special👌. Reece's @IPL side where his month in B'luru was a terrific time🫶! Sunday seeing a noisy full house for Ind will be so special. Sadly, will be the only Topley in town!☹️

A journey of pain and catharsis for the Topleys

Don and Julia - Reece's parents - have watched their son go from one stress fracture to another over the last five years, and yet bounce back and now face India in the 2nd ODI

Cricket remains the most beautiful & wonderful game that keeps on giving! Some terrific & enjoyable games of 4day championship cricket as the 2023 season unfolded, add two games of IPL over the last 2 days,which both went to exciting last ball finishes! It's a very special game

Same rant from the last Championship game! Last 3 CC games, Dom Bess has played for 3 different Counties! How can this happen! This is making CC a complete mockery. And County fans think this is acceptable? In Aug players will play for a different team & same fans will be angry
