Hello, first post here!
1. How do you get the umpire news before the tosses? ECB don't
announce them anymore/via a spreadsheet (I did email and they
did say it was for betting purposes, which seemed stupid as the
PL and EFL still announce them beforehand)
2. Everyone seems to love Mallender here :) He has umpired a
couple of men 2nd team games this year, in addition to the
women's 50 over games, but the further away he is from the
County Championship the better! Still can't forgive him for
giving Masood run out when he had his head turned on the action
v Kent at Scarborough in the 50 overs in 2023.
I'm expecting him to be in a fair share of T20's at Headingley
this summer...

I think you will find that the umpires and match referees are
entered on here after the tosses have taken place, prob info
from bbc sport or live nv play.
I was at scarborough that day you mentioned too.
Living in sth yorkshire and with umpires not travelling as much
nowadays for t20 and 50 over games i feel it is racing certainty
that Mallender will get a fair few Yorkshire games as well as
other teams in the north group of t20.
Most umpires on the circuit are very friendly amenable chaps and
engage in conversation.

For the last round of game tomp posted on 02 May, 2025 09:07, so
way before the tosses took place.
Yes the umpires are generally friendly. They are just under so
much scrutiny with the live streams now. You can forgive lbw's
but not blind run outs.
I've got my own Mallender stories 😂

I just posted the fixtures without the appointments at 9:07 and
then as you will see at the bottom I edited the post once the
appointments were available. I was actually at the Glamorgan
match so it was easier for me to just quickly edit the post,
rather than write all the fixtures out when I’m at the ground-
saves a bit of time.

Ah understood! It's just a shame they don't announce them
anymore, again for unknown betting reasons when football can
still announce them.
Though it does mean every game now at Headingley I am on
Mallender watch from the Long Room, judging the way the umpires
are walking to the toss, looking at their head to see how much
hair they've got etc. to work out whether if it's Mallender or
not. He's got quite a distinct gait!

A friend of mine nicknamed him Clint because of the number of
times the finger went up when Yorkshire were batting😂
