Having taken some wicket and scored some runs and held onto some catches at Hurstville Oval…. Was great to hear from a St.George club great. Especially the Jack Edwards commentary.

Great episode guys. Very informative interview with Trent. I hadn’t appreciated he’d played a bit of County Cricket.

Now Gidz; a bit of correction on Hampshire County Cricket Club, of which I am a member: Hampshire is NOT member owned. It’s owned by a PLC (ie limited liability corporation) and it’s this that the GMR Group has bought a controlling stake in.

Essentially they’ve bought the hotel, the golf course, the Utilita Bowl & the operating business that is Hampshire County Cricket Club. As you say, this is a significant development.

Whilst I’m on, and given you are in the great city of Melbourne & I’m in Hampshire, I am always pleased to point out to any of my Aussie pals that Hampshire named a stand after the late, great & very magnificent Shane Warne long before it ever occurred to Cricket Australia or to the MCG.

Ok, it’s not quite as big a stand as the MCG but it will be there when Australia visit in the summer of 2027 ready to welcome all Ozzie & England fans. Hopefully you & Pete will find someone to pay for your air tickets so we can listen to your Tour of England. The grounds, the matches, the pubs, the walks, the music. I look forward to it.
