I think of masks in the same way I think about seeing people running for pleasure. In the 70s and 80s if you saw someone running they were invariably being chased by the rozzers. People wearing masks were either stripping asbestos from a roof or spray painting a moody Cortina. How things have changed.

I spent a happy day in the company of Yorkshire supporters at Lord’s. Hopefully see you there at some point in the near future.

Cheers DC.

Edgbaston was far closer to normal…to the extent that anything about Edgbaston is normal.

“The Eric Hollies Stand was back to normal?” Nope. It’s an oxymoron.

Thanks for keeping us updated, Ged!
