New season started today (yay).

Lancashire v Surrey Day One washed out (booo).

Honestly, what’s the fucking point starting the season at this time of year? What do they expect?

Worcestershire's ground will be unplayable for two more months because of the floods apparently.

Blimey, you don’t see many triple hundreds in April!

ends on 335* which is the highest 1st class score ever at Lord's. which isn't a bad ground to hold that record.

He must have had a decent net over winter.

He had 410* against Leicestershire in 2022. He has form for this We won that game, but this one looks like a nailed on draw unless conditions change.

It feels like it's been flooded more often than it's been dry this year. Flooded again just before Easter. Oddly, in spite of New Road being right on the banks of the Severn, it's the Teme that's actually flooding the ground. Lots of talk of moving elsewhere from Ashley Giles if funding can be found which would be a shame but the current constant flooding isn't sustainable.

Century off 69 balls for Harry Brook, who appears to be back.

Easier pickings in Division 2 presumably? But great to see him back. Love watching him bat.

Did I say YCCC made a loss of £8m last year despite hosting an Ashes test? That can’t be good news in the long term?

Keaton Jennings scoring 172 - England call up incoming?
 

George Bell run out on 99 with a direct hit, bit unlucky I think and would have been interesting if they had DRS in the County Championship.
