I wrote this one about the journey of Tom Smith. Sorry but I was a little emotional having done the research and the background on it. I hope i have done it justice...

Mark Alleyne has a brand new book out. I can't wait to receive my copy and there are many stories of that period between 99 and 01 where trophies just lived at Bristol. I have known Mark since 1986 although got to know him.much better since working at Glos. Legend.

Wonderful to hear @danjadz_ referring to James Bracey as The Winterbourne Wizard. JK Rowling may have lived there as a child but Harry Potter or Ron Weasley couldn't get a 224 in 50 overs cricket.

The black school shoes are what catch my eye - though he’d still have swung it around corners in them…

You would have thought the artist may have used a nicer backdrop for this oil painting of Kapil Dev outside the Long Room. Looks like he is near Broadwater Farm.

Great fun doing this one. Stov has some stories to tell. The JPL game at Cheltenham sounds like a wonderful way to spend a Sunday for Stov, @David215Gower and co.

Gutted to hear about the passing of Keith Piper. Played against him 4 or 5 times at colts level when he was at Tottenham. Rest in Peace.

6 of the England side who played at Lord's have been reprimanded for being on the lash recently. Brook was with Bethell and Tongue when slapped by the bouncer in NZ, Duckett in Noosa and Stokes and Atkinson in Fulham. Smith, Bashir, Gay, Root and Robinson have not been caught.

Chuffed for Becca Halliday at Glos Women. Highest score ever for the side and she is a great laugh to have a chat with. Best sports person ever from Plymouth and I include Tom Daley, Sharron Davies and Trevor Francis in that group.
