Need a bit of early lunchtime reading?

We spoke to The Cricket Paper about why County Cricket is ace and why you ALL need to bring your mates on Sat 16th May #CountyCricketDay

Admin is sadly working today, otherwise they'd be heading down to the Oval to watch the Surrey Women's team in the One Day Cup.

We are truly blessed to have so much cricket to pour into our eyeballs

PS… A couple of years ago London Centric subscriber Alex Wilson told us that one of the cheapest and most pleasant co-working spaces in London, with a ready supply of coffee and strong WiFi, is the Oval cricket ground on a match day. We took this to heart, extolling the potential of “work from cricket” when we were interviewed about London Centric on Surrey’s YouTube livestream last summer. The powers that be at the Oval seem to have been listening and this week announced a marketing promotion to get homeworkers to the ground on quiet days over the summer months. Just please don’t take our spot.

Admin is flattered to have been cited as possible inspiration for the Work From Oval phenomenon in the latest London Centric newsletter.

(If you live in the capital, do subscribe to it, it's absolutely terrific)

How can you not love ❤️ county cricket?

Good crowd in, who clap the umpires let alone the teams, and the sun ☀️ has got it hat on

First morning of the season at Chelmsford

PLAY!

ONE ENGLISH POUND. FOR LIVE ELITE SPORT. IN THIS ECONOMY.

Frankly incredible scenes over at Somerset #CountyCricketDay

Yes! It should be great. It's a real shame that only 50% of clubs of clubs get home County Championship fixtures each year, but the idea is that it'll all even out in the long run.

We're very glad you finally have the chance for a home game on CCD!

It's brilliant to see Essex hosting a match on County Cricket Day. We have been at away fixtures on the previous two occasions, so I am really looking forward to celebrating the day at a home game in our 150th birthday year.

Women's games - One Day
Yorkshire v Warwickshire (Scarborough)
Durham v Somerset (Chester-le-Street)
Surrey v Lancashire (The Oval)

Men's, day 2 of: Hants v Notts, Somerset v Sussex, Warwicks v Glam, Yorks v Surrey, Essex v Leics, Glos v Northants, Middlesex v Derby, Lancs v Worcs & Kent v Durham

#CountyCricketDay

(And if you do want to get in touch, please do still drop us a line on here. We'll be checking the account, it'll just be living on a laptop so we'll be a bit slower)

We'll be back in full service next year when we announce what we're doing for County Cricket Day(s) in 2026.

This year has been a giant step forward, and there's some genuine optimism around county cricket.

Let's make next year EVEN BIGGER #CountyCricketDay

Huge thanks to everyone who supported both County Cricket Days. Your energy really has created something special.

Admin's going to take this app off their phone now, so will only check in occasionally #CountyCricketDay

I'm off to Northants for the Worcestershire double header. Northants women really need a win today, so fingers crossed the rain stops 🤞🏻

Happy Women's County Cricket Day!

Where's everyone off to today?

Admin's heading down to their local ground of The Oval to watch a women's & men's double bill as Surrey take on Essex.

#CountyCricketDay

A great win for England women against India!

Time for a tiny but well-deserved shout out to @anniechave.bsky.social

She's loved and appreciated already, but we should repeat that she's a tireless advocate for county cricket, and there'd be no County Cricket Day this year without her.

Thanks Annie. We all owe you.
