Rewwwwwwwww! #u19WorldCup

🇺🇦🏏 | My book 'GETTING OUT: The Ukrainian Cricket Team's Last Stand on the Front Lines of War' is the story of some tough and eccentric sportspeople – and how they saved many of those around them from Russia's invasion in 2022. Details | Where to buy 💙📚 ⬇️ www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/getting-out

My local bookshop has a quiet reading evening. I went, reading a recent Mark Billingham purchase, which had some chucklesome bits in it. It's really hard not to laugh when you're surrounded by silent people. I may've snorted

THE UKRAINE CRICKET JERSEY IS HERE! Ambition Sport will donate £5 from each shirt to our friends @fierce-calm.bsky.social, who provide therapies to Ukrainian soldiers 🇺🇦 Designed by our book's author @jonathancampion.com, and worn at last year's Euro T20 Cup! www.ambitionsport.com/product-cate...

What you need to see now is a photo of one of our cat visitors with his tongue out

Nearly made me snort coffee out of my nose

Unable to get back to sleep for what is normally my 2nd sleep of the night. I normally have about 4 hours, awake for 2, then another 3 hours. I've got a busy day of medical appointment then driving up to Newcastle to see the kids, so I could do with another hour or two

if I'm a european leader I am on the phone to my finance ministers right now yelling "sell! sell!" like one of the duke brothers

@ronanhession.bsky.social just finished Panenka and loved it. It reminded me of a Polish film, Wrobel, about a small-town footballer/postman

Following the U19 cricket world cup and two players in particular. Shaquane Belle of the West Indies - I played against him last summer at Proper Scarborough, and faced him on my way to a glorious 4*(3) James Minto of Durham and England - he's from my local town of Norton.

An ideal day for a wander in @lydiajane13.bsky.social country

Just booked flights for a holiday in Malta. I'm embarrassed to admit that I had no real idea where Malta is. I think I was confusing it with Cyprus. I'm 59

@chrisgoddardmap.bsky.social currently reading your Yorkshire Coast book, bought today in Saltburn. Looking forward to walking as many of the routes as possible

BT Sport showing the replay of Smith run out and thinking it was Stokes being the 2nd one of the over

In a high class field, that was the most stupid shot of the series

It's a maiden century not a debut one #Ashes🏏

These wickets make a finish today more likely #Ashes🏏

Brydon Carse has the chance to do the funniest thing. If he takes 3 more wickets, by my calculations he'll have 25 in the series, out of 74 possible. In the last 90 years or so, only John Snow in 6 tests has done better. It'll be one of England's all-time great overseas Ashes series #Ashes🏏

Sack the fielding coach #Ashes🏏

Rain hampering England's chances of squaring the Red Ball Ashes #Ashes🏏

Worried that Carse is going to be shifted from his rightful number 3 slot for someone with fewer first class centuries

Aaarrrggghhh! I think my last go may've been the same as my 2nd Connections Puzzle #936 🟨🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟦🟦🟦

A really good end to one year and start to the other here in the North East

Looking forward to England squaring the 4 test red-ball Ashes next week #Ashes🏏

If your eyes are good, you may see a black cat at our cat-flap. It is not out cat

Is that Smith's 1st defeat as captain since Cape Town 2018? #Ashes🏏

Never sure which version of Harry Brook's Multiverse of Madness we see #Ashes

That leg side take by Carey is just unreal #Ashes

Brook 33 off 23 out of 46-4 means I'm hopefully on #JessopWatch but more likely #BannermanWatch

Brook's plan is to score as many as he can before Boland comes on #TheAshes

Apparently Carey has moved up from 7 to 6 after his success at Adelaide. WHERE HE BATTED AT 6!

Watching England bat and giving me false hope, then flicking the channel to see one of my favourites, Ajaz Patel, bowling. Beautiful bowling action. He's denied a third wicket as nobody appeals for a caught behind!

Archer seems to be in The Nervous Forties. Us tailenders know the feeling well #TheAshes

2nd new ball due, Starc wicketless #AshesComingHome

Reminder - England's men haven't won an Ashes series without Ian Bell since 86/87. Their only hope is either to bring him back or get somebody to change their name #TheAshes

Will Jack's has taken all the spin wickets in the series so far #TheAshes

Archer still not getting Smith out #TheAshes

It's grim Up North

Despite hundreds of destinations this year, I didn’t make it to #Cambridge - so making up for that next month - tickets here www.junction.co.uk/events/robin...

In anticipation of another possible #Ashes humiliation. Here’s the book that explains just how long-standing and deep the rot goes and, crucially, what may be done about it: www.amazon.co.uk/Different-Cl...

@mooseallain.bsky.social just ordered one of my favourite cartoons, Everest, from your website. A reminder, folks, that independent creatives like positive comments, but buying their stuff helps

Next Saturday we've got two #NineLessons shows at Kings Place. A family matinee and then an evening show. Here's some of the guests joining @robinince.bsky.social inc @garwboy.bsky.social, @treacherousbuzz.bsky.social, @particleclara.bsky.social and more. Tix www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/nin...

Now would be a good time to boost Robin Ince's spirits by buying his books and going to see his shows

Greaves to continue. One ball gone. #NZvWI

Thinking about the West Indies chase (yes my Saturday nights rock!), and how Shai Hope's wicket probably cost both teams a better chance of victory. If he'd batted beyond the new ball, WI would've got closer, but may have lost wickets in going for victory.
