Just heard @chelseafcn.bsky.social women are to relocate home games from Kingsmeadow to Stamford Bridge as of next season. That's great news for them, but I assume this also means that @kingstonianfc.bsky.social will be allowed to move back into Kingsmeadow, which was their home from 1989-2017.

In both Sydney and London olympic tickets holders got FREE public transport to and from venues. The #FIFAWorldCup in the United States of Greed and Corruption they're charging ticket holders $150—an 11-fold increase on the usual $12.90 (£9.50) for a return fare. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Well. Slightly sobering stuff as reported in @thegrumbler.bsky.social's latest County Cricket Newsletter... Surrey, Middlesex & despite their small ground (+lack of a Hundred franchise) Somerset; all doing gangbusters by county cricket crowd standards...

Disgusting profiteering. #FIFA keep claiming football is "the people's game". Throw a little American stardust over it and suddenly it becomes a corporate money hoover.

The people's game. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

🚨season eye-opener.

What an extraordinary collection, and bravo Mike Gatting stepping forward to talk about it in an age when ordinary failures somehow become character mockeries. Gatts was just one of the early victims of one of the greatest cricket magicians of all times. youtu.be/bkwGL-aS1AU?...

The Tassie Devils open their copybook with a big home win vs Coburg. This feels like the start of big things! youtu.be/ypyrOB_MWTw?...

FFS. I thought the BBL was safe from the dirty maws of private equity and Indian enfranchisement. Oh good, the next stage of the IPL global takeover will be controlling Australia as well as England. Mumbai Melbourne here we come. 🙄😮‍💨 www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

No comment needed.

A disappointing fizzle to the end of what looked like a promising Shield season - especially after also losing the ODC. Still, fair play five teams could have made the final, and the croweaters could go back to back if they can beat the Vics in their own backyard. www.cricket.com.au/news/4469364

Well. I. Never. That was a hell of a Six Nations game #FravEng #EngvFra - I do enjoy union, but an as Aussie who also loves Aussie Rules & enjoys League, in a close game maybe start looking for field goals? Could have mixed that up a bit. You do still call it "football", right?

This reminds of the time I'd had a few beers and thought Bob Hawke Cricket would be a great videogame. At the end of each over you neck another schooner and the shots become looser and looser as you go along.

No, because the Hundred was always pants which created more division in the game than new fans and the "new car" smell has well and truly worn off. I suspect the clear anti-Pakistan stance of our new Indian bosses is probably not universally popular in the UK. www.thecricketer.com/Topics/the-h...

Well congrats to NSW on a deserved win. Pretty disappointing not to bring the Deano Trophy to Tassie, but just didn't do the job on the day... www.espncricinfo.com/photo/new-so...

so, just to confirm, Italy and Mexico now play a WBC game where depending on the result either could be eliminated or both could be through, and everyone involved knows what score they need to both get through do i have this right

Jordan Silk and Kurtis Patterson pose with the Dean Jones Trophy in Hobart ahead of today's One Day Cup final.

A very disappointing effort from Tassie in their home One Day Cup final, rain affected, yes, but all out for 118 in 22. NSW 2 down need 99 more to win from 16.5 overs. @espncricinfo : www.espncricinfo.com/series/one-d...

I've been a long time supporter of the #Paralympics, and even worked at the 2000 Sydney games. But I cannot hide my disappointment at the readmission of Russia and Belarus—including it seems Paralympians injured as a result of their participation in Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. 🤬

Tassie Devils have revealed their first playing jumper ahead of their VFL debut, and I have to say I like it - the new logo prominent across the myrtle, primrose and rose colours which stretch back to the 19th Century. And a change jersey of the same design on white. tasmaniafc.com/news/devils-...

Absolute scenes with this crowd-catch come stunt actor fence dive in the Pakistani tape ball championships. Put your coffee down, you don't want to spray it. youtube.com/shorts/2uAz2...

A wonderful celebration of three storied clubs to mark the 175 anniversary of Hong Kong Cricket Club. A triangular tournament featuring HKCC, the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), and the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC)! Wish I could be there!

I do kind of like it - the idea of a dip in the pool in the heat of the middle of the day is quite appealing. However, We've all seen the odd ball end up ruined in a pint before, what does a chlorinated pool do to it! www.espncricinfo.com/story/water-...

Love seeing international players dropping back into the Shield sides. What odds we'll see much of England's red ball stars in the County Championship this year?! 🤔 www.espncricinfo.com/story/head-g...

It is now 39 years since the Australian women lost a home bilateral ODI series. Wow, just wow.

Don't doubt it - growing up in Oz in the 80s I recall it being said a stint in County or even the Lancs pro league was considered virtually vital to getting selected for an away Ashes tours (certainly for batters).

What the #Hundred — which has brought division, acrimony, argument and anger to English domestic #cricket since its inception — needs most, is more controversy.

I feel like the Ski Cross needs more turtle shells and power ups.

You've got to love seeing international players in domestic red ball comps. (Are you looking ECB?)

Italy's Ben Manenti tops the list of most impactful players at this #T20WorldCup 🙌 Full list: srkl.in/63324BAtLX4

But can Tassie make use of a home games run in, and be the ones to challenge them?

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Wouldn't it be cool for Zimbabwe or (much more unlikely) Netherlands to win the T20 World Cup from here.

FIFA seems confused as to why no one wants to travel to the US for the World Cup, but the internet has theories. www.indy100.com/sport/fifa-w...

Canadian loses his mind as Australia sit above them on Winter medals table. www.foxsports.com.au/olympics/win...

Australian Winter Olympic medallists so far from the Milano Cortina Gold medallist Jakara Anthony, Josie Baff and Cooper Woods along with Matt Graham (bronze) and Scotty James (silver).

Italy might not have gotten there in the end but boy did they put the wind up England there, and have absolutely announced they deserve to be on the big stage of world cricket. They have also come a long way since I watched them beat Denmark in the Euro T20 Championships at Brighton in July 2013.

92/4!! If they can keep it below 200, Italy have half a shout here.

England 3 down for 67 - Italy are still in this. 1 or 2 more wickets and England could be in trouble! #EngvIta #ItavEng #T20WorldCup

And there it is! 🥇🇦🇺 Jakara Anthony you absolute legend!! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

That is an outrageous decision by the judges in the Women's Double Moguls - how did they give that to USA over France!!!

Well this is going reasonably well so far, one more gold or silver and this will pretty much be Australia's best winter games. 🇦🇺@⛷️🏂 🔵⚫🔴 🟡🟢 1994🇳🇴🥉 1998🇯🇵🥉 2002🇺🇸🥇 2006🇮🇹🥇🥉 2010🇨🇦 🥇🥇🥈 2014🇯🇵 🥈🥈🥉 2018🇰🇷 🥈🥈🥉 2022🇨🇳🥇🥈🥈🥉 2026🇮🇹🥇🥇🥈...
