Imagine denying yourself the pure pleasure and cultural importance of this out of prissiness though!

That's the sign-off that Fatima Sana's tournament has deserved. Three wickets in an over to finish the match. 🏏 #TheCricket

Ireland (population 7 million, cricketing budget the loose change down the back of the sofa) beating India (population one and a half billion, annual cricketing budget all the money in the world) is both brilliant and hilarious. #TheCricket

genuinely think a key element of the current British-American fighting is that Americans don’t understand that complaining is the British national sport

I have a spare ticket for the cold embrace of the tomb, if anyone's interested?

It's maybe too late in the tournament, but what a fantastic, destructive knock from Athapaththu. A lovely thing to sit and see 🏏 #TheCricket

Sometimes I feel like I'm not achieving enough in life. And then I realise that I've already listened to more Birchville Cat Motel music than 90% of people in the world will this week, and it's only Tuesday!

It's dot. Ham dot.

Fines levied against the use of the word 'super' as an adverb, or 'iconic' when not describing an icon. Means based, of course. I'm not a monster.

Feel naked without a Prime Minister ☹️

Dunno about you lads but I feel terrifyingly ungoverned ☹️

Thought about bare bottoms and laughed till I cried. Now I feel free and able. I don't know if this is living.

Drink the cooking wine, you coward

Slint for dudes who aren't total fucking losers

Freya Kemp. Levers. 🏏 #TheCricket

Bangladesh win! That feels huge, particularly given the small total they posted. Feel for Fatima Sana though, she deserves a lot more out of this tournament than she's going to get. 🏏 #TheCricket

Okay I am gonna work on this seriously after bedtime, accepting suggestions! Criteria: Old. We’re gonna say pre-WWII definition Cold: doesn’t have to have aircon, just significantly colder than outside. Don’t guess this, please be sure. Freely open to the public: no tickets or very limited hours

Hardly worth mentioning then 🙄

This is an exceptional use of a warm Friday evening www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOvM...

Don't want to be picky, but isn't the Pope "America's most powerful Catholic" being as he is both American and - how to put it? - the actual Pope? www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Poor old Scotland. That was so close. If they hadn't lost their heads for five minutes after the powerplay, they would have had that, I reckon. #T20WorldCup #TheCricket 🏏

You could probably get away with saying "fuck sample" instead of "for example". Try it today and let me know the results.

Now do 'Dirty Bristow'

Pakistan might do this, you know... #TheCricket #TheOtherWorldCup 🏏

Southampton's not a pretty city, not since it was bombed to fuck in the war. But there are more attractive vistas to cut to for a global audience than the Civic Centre, surely? #TheCricket #WT20WC 🏏

Seeing the Peter Serafinowicz Harry Potter announcement just made me think, once again, about this excellent James Acaster bit from Off Menu.

Bloody hell, what a catch from TCC! #TheCricket 🏏

Bloody Nora! #TheCricket 🏏

Couldn't agree with this sentiment more

England, like shit performance artists, are just expressing themselves and if anybody else likes it, that's a bonus #TheCricket 🏏

This is great, nerdy stuff. As a teenage shoegaze fan, Anjali's name was on so many of my favourite records.

I've started recording my favourite albums of 2026 here - albumwhale.com/arewenotben/... - 78 down so far but still a bunch I haven't heard yet, good year but aren't they all
