The Sporting Life / Re: County Cricket 2024

That 499-8 in 100 overs (that was the 1st innings limit at the time) was hailed as a new record by the county staff/announcers under those rules. Unbeknownst to them, the very same day Hampshire knocked up over 500, courtesy of Barry Richards & co*.

And I've just noticed E. J. O. Hemsley in the Worcester team - one of the last players to play first class cricket and first division football - Sheffield United, I think.

*Edit: at least, I thought they did. I can't find any evidence of it. It's amazing what 48 years does to your memory.

I'm on the Niwaki website...

In a fit of sense, I decided that the likelihood of me wiping and oiling a set of carbon steel secateurs every time I use them without fail was probably nil, so I didn't buy. Need to find a suitable lazy git's alternative.

I has Niwaki things, and can categorically state that oiling after every use is not needed, and I can also say that I definitely need more Niwaki tools

It isn't possible to have too many Niwaki tools.
