I just wanted to wish everyone on here a Merry Christmas and a happy cricketing New Year!

Thanks Terry. If it weren't for the fact that the Bears won the CC, I would have to say that 2021 was a pretty dark one for English cricket. Still, in keeping with the spirit of the season, I will put my natural grumpiness aside and join you in wishing everyone well for 2022.

Those 4 golden days in late September were the best thing about the whole cricketing year. 4 days with old mates, talking rubbish whilst watching the fantastic ebb and flow of a proper cricket match will stay with me for a long time. Merry Xmas to all of you old buggers!
