some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago... Sounds very Austria.

vereine.oefb.at/Geps21Fc/Das... Wir gratulieren unseren erfolgreichen Spielerinnen und vor allem Torschützenkönigin Martina!

Derzeit suchen wir eine Torfrau für unsere 1a. Mindestalter 16, idealerweise bereits Erfahrung im Tor, und auf der Suche nach Spielpraxis? Melde dich bei uns unter [email protected]!

Wir sind seit 2018 Mitglied im Wiener Fußballverband und derzeit mit je einem Team in den Mädchen- bzw Frauenligen vertreten. Wir sehen uns als Talenteschmiede für junge Wienerinnen und als vielfältigen Verein, der allen ein Zuhause gibt. #Frauenfußball

After 7.5 years of running a girls and women's football club, you are grateful for small luxuries like tournaments not starting at 9 am. 😅 Off to supervise our first team at the WFV women's tournament, and probably have some negotiating as well.

#TheBear drew me in within 2 episodes and I'm nearly done with season 1. Good storytelling. Can understand why professional chefs don't like to watch it, thought, it feels very realistic.

That said: Tom Latham is doing an excellent job behind the stumps in this test. What a brilliant catch! 🖤🏏

Excellent innings from Shai Hope, good to see him back in the runs! 👌🌴🏏

Neil Wagner on comms, sounding almost fully Kiwi these days 😍 🖤🏏

Big shoes to fill for Zak Foulkes and Jacob Duffy, taking over from the best opening partnership I've seen for New Zealand. But the signs are very promising. 🏏🖤

For fear of sounding like a broken record, but day 5, on a flattening pitch, with 6 wickets required? Where's Neil Wagner when you need him, eh. 🖤🏏

My first #NewZealandWatch of the winter/summer 🖤🏏 Always a uniquely fun way to follow test cricket, and a way to miss my home away from home a little less.

#ItsThePopeThatKillsYou Agreed. 🏏🩵

Not to open another can of worms, but the Austrian stance on Eurovision and allowing Israel to compete is beyond pathetic. Those countries who pulled out of the contest are following a time-honoured tradition of boycotting international events to make a point- and they're right to do so.

Also, PSA: I want some county to get Joe Root and Kane Williamson to play together again before they retire for good. (I know this is beyond Somerset, probably, but a girl can dream) 🏏🖤🩵

Annoying observation: I don't find anything about Mitchell Starc I dislike. (In fact, his attitude towards the women's game is a big point in his favour) Just a master craftsman who keeps his head down and bowls relentlessly well. #MensAshes2025 🏏

Random small test cricket things that are fun: a 50 partnership between your final two batters; watching the balcony when a player brings up a century; declare flare preparations (or not?); seeing the tiniest hints of exhaustion in the bowlers' faces near stumps; batters freeing arms for a 6. 🏏🩵

Oh ffs, I'm locked back in. This is gloriously hilarious to watch. #MensAshes2025 #ItsThePopeThatKillsYou 🏏🩵

ROOOOOOT. 🐐 🏏🩵

I do seem to have won the baby lottery with human being baby, so take this with several pinches of salt, but: having a 13.5 month old is so much fun. #MumLife

Sign of a good workshop: it has raised a lot of questions for me that I still think about on the next day. @rubyrebelde.com opened my mind yesterday and I'm looking forward to reading Ruby's book on sex work.

#fabulamurina (mouse story) 475 Silvius tabulam Saturnaliciam inspicit (Silvius is looking at his Saturnalia board). cotidie unam ianuam minutam aperiet usque ad festum (He'll open one tiny door every day until the festival).

If JK Rowling herself doesn't separate her art from her transphobia, and has said she sees every Harry Potter fan as a fan of her transphobia, and uses every dollar she makes to fund transphobia, I need people to stop insisting they "separate art from artist" because it's beyond disingenuous atp

Human being baby remembers his last visit to the pediatrician: great, he's such a smart boy. Human being baby remembers his last visit to the pediatrician: human being baby is UPSET. 🥺 #MumLife

www.stuff.co.nz/sport/360896... This is going to be fucking devastating 😢 🖤🏏

anaustriantakeoncricket.wordpress.com/2025/11/28/i... There is always a bit of time for introspection 🩵🖤🏏

As a New Zealand supporter, I am also thinking of the Blackcaps and Pakistan sides who were in the middle of that test in Sharjah when the news about Phil Hughes broke. And of the incredible response of both sides, particularly a certain New Zealand captain. #63NotOutForever 🏏

Eleven years ago today, the cricket world stood still. Remembering Philip Hughes and thinking of Sean Abbott, and all their friends and family on the anniversary of his tragic death. #63NotOutForever

I think the trauma is real, especially for Salah (the first game of the season was 😢). I also think it creates a barrier with new players who have joined. Not deliberately so, but that is one hell of a shared experience and his 'ghost' is everywhere.

After England and New Zealand, South Africa and the West Indies are the two international cricket sides I most enjoy watching. I always respected their attitude to the game and especially their fast bowlers. 🏏

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

If you expected this Liverpool men's team to just move on from suddenly losing a friend and teammate in July, you have a lot of things to learn about psychology. I, for one, will give them grace this season. ⚽️ #YNWA

Also, since most of the experts will focus on what India did wrong: WELL DONE SOUTH AFRICA! This is how you set up and execute an away series win. Temba Bavuma is a brilliant captain, and I'm happy for Simon Harmer getting the opportunities he deserves in test cricket. 🏏

i’m waiting for all those “experts” who said south africa did not deserve to win the world test championship to crawl out of the woodwork. #indvrsa #testcricket #cricket

Sides that win the World Test Championship and aren't part of the big 3 deserve more than 2 test series. 🏏

There is a lot of sport I enjoy. But none nearly as much as a day at a England vs New Zealand test. Just a full day's cricket in which I absolutely don't care who's ahead, I'm just here to see both of my teams play. Already looking forward to the Oval in 2026! #BestSeriesOfThemAll 🩵🖤🏏

This is going to be the usual whitewash in Australia. I'm honestly glad New Zealand play as well in the not too distant future so I will be able to stay up late for an actually valuable cause. And that's my last comment on the #MensAshes2025. 🏏🩵

Genuinely not even annoyed. This *always* happens in Australia. There's absolutely no point in expecting anything different. #MensAshes2025

Business as usual then. Not staying up or watching the next tests. #MensAshes2025

God where would we have been if we had a fully fit Jofra for the past 4 years? #MensAshes2025

One of the finer nuances about test cricket is its unlimited potential for funny. Like your lower middle order getting one of the only 50 partnerships in the game when you're batting. #MensAshes2025 🏏🩵

#MensAshes2025 sleep update: 5:00, 6:50, up since 7:15 and now fully awake and sneaking out of the bedroom to watch a potentially funny lower middle order partnership. 🩵🏏

Test cricket is the Breaking Bad of sport. Will have you amazed, angry, laughing and staring bored at your phone all within the space of just five days.

Like I said. Always watching when England bowl, never when England bat. #MensAshes2025 🏏🩵

BENJAMIN ELIZABETH STOKES #theashes #thecricket 🏏🏏🏏

Nobody is bothering me right now, I'm officially "proofreading a letter to the Constitutional Court", and as they well know at work, I "like to keep the radio on when I'm reading." #JustCricketThings #MensAshes2025 🩵🏏

Maybe, and that's my New Zealand half speaking, maybe Brydon Carse will do a Neil Wagner for England? #MensAshes2025 🩵🏏

That said: Thank you, Jof, for immediately restoring my delusional optimism! #MensAshes2025
