Just in case anyone is looking to venture up to Liverpool and pay on the gate - no joy, I'm afraid:
https://cricket.lancashirecricket.co.uk/news/2025-news/both-games-at-liverpool-cc-this-week-sold-out/
I believe the capacity is 3,000 so that's not an enormous crowd but good that Lancs have sold out in advance.
On-line feedback on a Surrey members' forum includes:
"ALL the county cricket directors want to end Kookaburra cricket balls .... only one person in favour haha.
Steve gave wide ranging update into other matters including feeling confident at this round of discussions 14 game CC will remain for next season."
Should be back now!
I don't know where it's gone - it should be there!

There does seem to be a bit more of an effort from the Club to listen to supporters. Those who get the weekly Club update email will know that it says:

I used to get roughly weekly emails from the club, even after I stopped being a member, but I don’t think I’ve had anything for a couple of years now.
Yes I agree - it's not meant just for members but I don't quite know how you get added to the list or why you would disappear. I'll ask the question!

A well crafted win.
It seems like Chris Woakes is going down the rehab route rather than an operation in order to be fit for the Ashes. I hope it’s the right decision.

Come on, who hasn't had that happen to them. I was lucky, when I fell off my smugglers cart, I was only trampled by my pet stoat Gerald.
Good of you to name your stoat after me.
After hearing about Monty and the oxen, some have said ‘bullocks’ but I swear it’s true.
Previous youngest was Monty Bowden who died aged 26 having become a liquor smuggler, falling off a cart and being trampled by his own oxen. His coffin was made out of a whisky crate.
Hopefully Jacob’s future life will be somewhat different.
Youngest ever England captain.
Well done to Jake Lintott.
Well done on getting the names together.
Zen Malik is averaging 44 in the Championship this season so maybe those counties were wrong, just like all those people who didn’t want to buy Van Gogh’s useless daubs. All those stars and sunflowers.
Time for Hamza Shaikh and Zen Malik to come to the party.
Regarding Taz Ali’s height, not all leg spinners have been tall. Eric Hollies was quite short as was (obviously) Tich Freeman. But Richie Benaud and Shane Warne were reasonably tall. So I guess height may determine how you flight the ball but not necessarily how good you are. I had a fondness for Josh Poysden and was sorry that his career came to a premature end.
I am devastated that we have had no update on the state of the toilets at Rugby.
If he can change the appalling record of young pace bowlers not establishing themselves, that would be a great outcome.
Same squad.
