TOM NORTON HAS TAKEN A HATTRICK ON HIS FIRST-CLASS DEBUT!!!!!!!!!!! WATCH LIVE: bit.ly/4dbXIIN #GLAvSOM #OhGlammyGlammy

Listening to county cricket. Commentator makes a point of mentioning the independent school a young player has recently scored runs for. Again, this never seems to happen for players from a state school background.

I may go through old TMS lunchtimes to see which celebs live their cricket

You see a title like 'Timmy Mallett explains APARTHEID' and you'd probably go 'Oh, good grief'. Instead, you get a dialled down Mallett in South Africa, and he absolutely smashes explaining a difficult, complex subject to children right out the park with pitch perfect balance. Genuinely brilliant.

This is horrific www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Well done her for fighting it but no one should have to go through this

I'm not giving you a game-by-game rundown of my cricket season this year, but I may post occasional personal highlights such as this. I filled in for the West Mids and the 6 hour round trip was worth it to get my best bowling figures of 3-21

The gang of four: How a cabal of property moguls is laying waste to the Tees Valley (Part 3) There’s something striking about the planning permission requests - more than 80 of them. The assault on nature is relentless northeastbylines.co.uk/news/environ...

Which cricket team has the better jersey? ❤️ = England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🔁 = Ukraine 🇺🇦 And let us know in the comments who would look great in ours!

My 18 day run of over 10,000 steps looks like coming to an end today, as I'm on about 3,500 and it's nearly 9pm

My uni mate turns 60 today. For his 23rd birthday, we went to Leicester v Chelsea. A win would see Chelsea promoted. There were more people in the away end than the rest of the ground. At 3, there was a big surge as Chelsea fans were shoved in to avoid trouble outside

He looks like every character in the flashback part of Godfather II rolled into one

Put the Lancs live stream on just in time to see Derbyshire mop up the tail. "Just" the 138 to win. Dare I dream that THIS is the year? #TheCricket

The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, owns a property company - Quidnet REIT. From 2020 to 2022 it paid Tice and his trust £600k in dividends. Quidnet should have paid £120k of tax on those dividends. It didn't. A 🧵 with evidence from the company's own filings:

County cricket live streams are great. Currently watching Matthew Potts looking like he'll take a wicket every ball #GloDur

It's here! First cricket game of the season today. 11 degrees maximum so plenty of layers

I scored a run-a-ball 71 there last year which included 15 fours. I have obviously given up running in my old age. It was my highest score in the past 40 years

Two three-nil wins in a week for Stockport County, but which player looks like he's eaten his bedding? Could you describe Arthur Brownlow? Is it OK to have a crush on a literary werewolf? The answers are all here in the @scarfbergarawore.bsky.social blog: scarfbergarawore.co.uk/my-county-di...

This time last year, I was attempting to look like a proper cricketer in Dambulla against Sri Lanka

450 up for Derbyshire. Top of the Table! #CountyCricket

A new documentary about the mass die-off of crustaceans off the Tees coast had its world premiere yesterday at a film festival in Copenhagen. Here's a review... "Man of the people Houchen is, it turns out, only a man of the people who agree with him."

Hi All, I’m intrigued to see what kind of reach you actually get with an organic post on Bluesky these days… If you see this, please hit the heart so I can see if it’s worth posting content on here! ❤️ (P.S The photo is a throwback of me playing cricket last summer🏏)

What we need to see is a photo of my cat looking like a character in a 40s noir film

I bet most of Rob Key's 100 more important things were just rounds of golf

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

@nessundormapodcast.bsky.social I'm up to the episode about the back-pass law. We had a one-legged keeper, and our manager's 1st pre-match team talk went: "You're champions. Go out and play like champions. If you have to pass back to Simon, put it on his right leg as his left may come off"

On sexual abuse in elite women's cricket, and the impact of it becoming run by men. c/w so much sexual abuse.

IT'S NOT PI DAY. IT SHOULD BE CALLED AMERICAN PI DAY.

I'm looking forward to seeing Laura here in England later this year. Aussie people, take the chance to go see her NOW!

If one of my teams chipped in a fiver each, maybe he'd like to play a bit of proper village cricket

Stan Rennie are you ready for your closeup? ALL RIVERS SPILL… makes its Hollywood Reporter debut just 5 days before our film takes its maiden voyage at CPH:DOX. 🦞🦀 Check out their interview where I talk lessons learned on my 10th feature. Including helming a fishing boat 🚤

So India won the World Cup Final in India again. They seem to get awarded quite a few tournaments. Wonder who decides this? #theCricket

@nessundormapodcast.bsky.social I'm working my way through the early episodes, and they bring back so many memories. From today 1) an ex-girlfriend of mine went out with Pagliuca during the 94 WC 2) watching Newcastle 86, Billy Whitehurst being ripped to bits by his own fans despite playing well

Powerful oped, not just about public health but the state of our democracies: "That’s real progress. Not GDP going up 0.1% or Rachel Reeves forecasting an extra couple of billion in fiscal headroom – but whether you live or die, are well or sick" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine near London: come to this discussion with soldier Roman Trokhymets at the Ukrainian Social Club in Holland Park, next Wednesday evening. More info: @thomasbrayford.bsky.social. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/discussion...

Any idea where Russell Scott went, and why publicity for his book, VIP Lane, has basically disappeared?

Did some work in the garden yesterday. This fella was no help

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used www.ipso.co.uk/rulings/0210...

In a 2nd hand bookshop the other day (Yorkshire Quality Books in Pickering) and overheard someone say "ooh, The Bible, under Myths and Legends!"

In honour of Alyssa Healy's bowling efforts today, I give you my last game for Oxbridge back in 2023, after 8 years, and my first bowl. Two stumpings followed by 1-7 off 2 overs
