On 7th May 1900 Worcestershire CCC bowled out Yorkshire CCC for 99. But They lost by an innings as Wilfred Rhodes dominated with match figures of 11-36. Worcestershire CCC were dismissed for 43 & 51. Not their finest moment.

To be able to call Somerset Cricket 🏆 home on a glorious Spring evening, with Annie Chave at my side, is cricket commentary heaven. And against Essex too. Never in doubt? There were moments, but we got there in the end. This win might just have set up the Championship season.

Let's do this, 2 more games to go and a promotion to secure ⚽️❤️

This is the new IPL - the Italian Premier League, 3000 feet above sea level and the pitch is not a road, more a piece of heavily shaved grass. Raj Patel & Ando Mac prepare to face some less than testing bowling.

The pitch is an absolute road, there's one stump to aim at and the umpire's on crutches... scenes!!!

This team is incredible such a young squad and to lead them out in a cup final with only 2 weeks of pre season to gel is incredible so proud of these ladies and there professionalism personally dont think the result reflects the performance but still love this squad so proud ⚽️❤️

Back from an innings win Surrey Cricket . A match defined by seam turned on a captain's knock from Burns, steering Patel & Roach to game-changing partnerships.
