Kevin Howells @kevinhowells.bsky.social · 7hLove these recordings as I love radio but that morning in 67 I reckon Paul Hollingdale had it easy compared with trying to explain where you can find County Cricket on any given day on Sports Extra, Two and Three 🏏 📻 😉 270

Kevin Howells @kevinhowells.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Last week, I watched each morning, groundstaff mowing the square, and I was thinking why so my attention, knowing they will be stripping the whole lot off this week. Answer. They wanted it to look as good as it would for a test macth every day till the end. Dedication. 2212
Kevin Howells @kevinhowells.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Remember Leicestershire weren’t so much docked 19 pts but as very clearly stated in the playing regs; a team takes 0 pts from a game in which found guilty to have prepared a below average/poor pitch. If they had lost, it might have been 3 points docked. It’s supposed to be an automatic penalty. 130
Kevin Howells @kevinhowells.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I’m trying to understand why when a pitch is marked Poor and therefore below average and the Discipline panel upholds that; How it then gives them back 8 points. All clubs are aware that if a pitch was marked poor or below average they would gain 0 points from that game. 1120

Kevin Howells @kevinhowells.bsky.social · 27/08/2026This was supposed to be some hilarious joke about the new BlueSky feature where you can download videos up to ten minutes long; except my arm started to ache after three minutes. Anyway it’s a bit bleak in Birmingham Champo people. 3180
Kevin Howells @kevinhowells.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I've got to a place in life where, having been fed so much agenda driving misinformation I trust little these days....so this is my take on the men's One Day Cup from what I see & hear. It's growing with good crowds (Not and never will be enough for global audience chasing broadcasters)............ 8405

Kevin Howells @kevinhowells.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I guess then I should write something about extraordinary day at Lord’s but truth I feel little but disappointed for cricket. Keeping close eye on what decision is taken over Lancashire pitch & the possibility of questioning the cricket regulator. Independence is one thing; context perhaps another. 2121
Kevin Howells @kevinhowells.bsky.social · 04/06/2026If you are ever in Bedale and at the same time think what I really want now is a burger and fries and all done special; please find your way to OFF THE RAILS. If you are neither in Bedale or like burgers please enjoy another eatery. But this place has one of those happy place feels. #influencer. 2100

Both learned their cricket at Northamptonshire - before wealthier counties led them away. Yet many 'eminent' pundits would wish to consign second-division clubs to history! 3134

Kevin Howells @kevinhowells.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Well I enjoyed those seven weeks and the tables suggest a season to remember. Those two internationals on two of the last four days of championship season are still looking more than disappointing. 0190

Kevin Howells @kevinhowells.bsky.social · 17/05/2026When you get to my time in life there is little to excite but instead lots to fear and disappoint; so my little rides on the golf buggy to and from the car park at Headingley I anticipate with real zest!
