       They used to issue appointments at monthly intervals on the ecb
       website but they stopped doing this about a year or two prior to
       covid, so nowadays we have to wait until after the toss at each
       match to see who the umpires and match referees are.
       A friend of mine was a good friend of a recently retired umpire
       so i used
       To find out a where he was in advance but alas no more.

       Do we know if there were any retirements at the end of last
       season and any newbies added to the list for this year?

       Yes Nick Cook retired at the end of last season, he umpired his
       last match at worcester with his mate and old county colleague
       Rob Bailey.
       Nick is a great fellow and on a cricket field was a real
       character, very enthusiastic and loved cricket immensely.
       Sadly with all the travelling etc he decided he had had enough
       and it was time was right to retire.
       Tim Robinson retired mid season last season from on field
       activities and took up a role of umpiring mentor which had just
       become available.
       I believe tims last county championship game was Derbyshire v
       Middlesex at Chesterfield, june 12-14, which i was lucky enough
       to attend on day one.
       A couple of tweaks to the points scoring system for this season
       in the county championship.
       A draw will result in 5 points being awarded to each side rather
       than 8 points.
       Batting bonus points start at 250 instead of 200 in previous
       seasons.
       There are still max 5 batting points for reaching 450and over
       (instead of 400 and over) in 110 overs in the first innings.
       The bowling points remains the same as last season as does the
       16 points for a win.
