Meanwhile there's a 20+-year-old purpose-built stadium that mostly gets used for 10am Built-for-Indian-TV "legends" tournaments or whatever, but hey.

If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

Currently way out in the Florida backwoods, and there's an English pub not three miles from here that was showing the cricket this morning.

I just like how the phrasing here makes them sound like a married couple. Fun day out for the Sudharsans.

Game on.

My signature new dive bar move is to order Your Worst Beer. Good way to learn about a place. (My other new dive bar signature move is to play some My Fair Lady soundtrack on the jukebox. Also a good way to learn about a place )

I know this is The Forbidden Topic but here is the truth: cheap food in the US is generally bad and cheap food in the UK is generally bad. You can get EXCELLENT food in both countries but it tends to be expensive, urban or both. Good food cultures eg Italy have widespread cheap excellent food

Very confusing when US people start going on about Spurs vs Wolves.

Mid-on, mid-off, fine leg, gully, slip, third man. The others are all societal constructs. I will not be taking questions.

I know all the jokes have been done, but "Blast returns to Utilita Bowl" will never not sound like the end of a poor-choices-with-beer-and-curry night.

This is a league with a great product at a perfect time for that product to take off, helped by players who are invested in being spokespeople and ambassadors for it. So let's aim that gun at both feet and ...

If Starmer's speech doesn't touch on Trent Bridge pavilion improvements, he's finished.

Good short-length ball. Some properly unsettling bowling here, love to see it.

Duckworth, Lewis and Stern. The fourth one's becoming soup.

Good news and bad news. Good news: we've found someone in the administration who doesn't have a problem with brown kids...

Danes when you go into the gym and start playing basketball

The opposition at Rugby School in 1823

I mean, lack of run support is a not inappropriate way for the Mariners to honor Randy Johnson.

A classic line from the Guardian OBO, still relevant today.

I open my bedsit door, nearly in tears. "Hi Flippo," I say to my budget AI concierge service. "Do a movie where Julie Delpy falls in love with me. 1995 Julie Delpy. And I pee on her." I sink onto my mattress and retrieve the discounted Dr Oetker from my backpack. I have not had an erection in years.

One thing cricket gets right over baseball is the lack of technology advantages when challenging the umpire. You saw it with your own two eyes like the umpire did; either challenge or stfu. None of this waiting for some nerd to look at a replay.

Screw it, at this point we should try anything. Cricket Association of Nepal, have you ever heard of a magical place called Lauderhill, Florida?

‘7 Days,’ Hisses Little Girl On Phone Call Welcoming Draft Pick To Jets

Timberwolves basketball tonight in Minnesota is basically what English cricket is all the time. It's not that you're not on lots of drinking establishment TVs, it's just that your sound isn't turned up on any of them.

As cool stuff on YouTube goes, the end of Somerset v Hampshire is right up there with Nick Offerman explaining woodworking.

A fun side effect of bright, coordinated-by-section fan shirts is how it makes the ref look like a doomsday preacher with a robust congregation.

Crazy that we have some sort of machine that can move faster than a human being now

He is - and however insulting this sounds, please understand that I mean it in a way that is somehow even more insulting - Britain's most Marco Rubio politician.

If you win the Masters back to back you should get green pants

Found where your mum buys her earrings.

Hot take: sport plays important social roles, and now it's almost completely taken on this one.

Big thanks to Leicestershire and Gloucestershire for taking part in county cricket so at least somebody can feel something in the season's first matches.

I love how it's the great cathedral and all, but from a certain angle it looks like characters from a Wall-E sequel.

I love this website.

I'm at a Marlins-White Sox baseball game, and there's a guy here in a Harry Kane jersey. Problem is, it's Bayern when obviously a Spurs shirt is the appropriate one for a Marlins-White Sox game.

SNL UK being written about like a football club that avoided the drop to League 2.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS BATTER

The most famous person I ever interviewed for a British newspaper was Dolly Parton.

One could very easily make the case that the ICC's raison d'etre is preventing as many people as possible from playing Test cricket, and has been that since the very beginning.

Which party got schools to sell off their playing fields in the 1980s Peter?

The difference between you and me is, you want him to yell "bat" or announce Clem Fandango; I want a live, elaborately staged rendition of One Track Lover.

Italy: Beat USA in baseball. Qualified for t20 World Cup. Hasn't made a football World Cup since 2014.

At the ponies. Guess who didn't win

Pig ownership fact! Pigs love power tools but require constant supervision when using them.

First sensible talk we've had in this war.

I am often asked if I had to recommend just one cricket book which would it be and I usually say this one amzn.to/4l8SzF5

Sports are the best thing humans have ever come up with. I grant you that the wheel was a good invention, but it rarely has caused people to find themselves jumping around the room and yelling, unsure of when or how they even got to their feet, just screaming into the void out of pure joy

Oh man, the guy in the crowd in an Oilers jersey. That man has seen some things.
