I don’t recall @ccmatters.bsky.social or @anniechave.bsky.social linking to this, so here goes: www.cricketweb.net/books/ccm21/. #cricket

Happy New Season (soon) to all our readers/contributors & friends.

Thank you to you all & yippee to county cricket 🏏🏏

Essential reading over the xmas period. Why does Rugby Union not have something similar to Rugby League Journal or have I missed it? #RugbyLeagueJournal @ccmatters.bsky.social @welsh-football.bsky.social

The cover of Cricket Clerihews by Peter Thomson. The from photo is of a cricket team in an assortment of hats and sweaters.

At least one present is going to be treasured for a long time. #cricket @ccmatters.bsky.social @anniechave.bsky.social

🤩

The cover of Count Cricket Matters issue 21. The first photo is of a rainbow above a cricket pavilion.

The title of an article, “The Lost Art of Utter Incompetence” by Roger Morgan-Grenville.

It takes a while to cross the proverbial pond, but it’s always worth the wait. This issue comes with an article designed to appeal to someone with my batting skills, if only because I could prove there is nothing “lost” about the “art”. @ccmatters.bsky.social #cricket

Volume 21 of County Cricket Matters

Little gift to myself arrived while I was away over Xmas. Looking forward to delving in @anniechave.bsky.social @ccmatters.bsky.social

Feet up time with mince pies, tea and the brilliant
@ccmatters.bsky.social Christmas edition. Reckon more magazines might sell better if they penned a personal note to subscribers, as the dedicated @anniechave.bsky.social always does. It's appreciated Annie.

🙏🙏

It’s that most wonderful time of every three months.

Best Wishes, one'n'all. Dr. Dan <>

The new issue of @ccmatters.bsky.social has dropped, as our junior members like to say.

The cover of the Dec 2024 edition of County Cricket Matters - a dramatic picture of a double rainbow in a black sky above the cricket ground at Taunton, with the heading "Cricket's pots of gold".

Always a red letter day when the latest edition arrives from @ccmatters.bsky.social. The empathetic interviews by @anniechave.bsky.social are always a highlight, this time with the great Courtney Walsh.

What’s happened @ccmatters.bsky.social and @anniechave.bsky.social ? I can actually answer a lot of the crossword clues. Merry Christmas to you all and thanks for all your hard work in producing a consistently fine publication.

Another magazine full of great articles - well worth a read with a Christmas cuppa 🏏
