FUN FACT: 'queue' is an anagram of 'queen', but only if you turn the n upside down. In professional circles, we call this an 'auagram'. #funfact

What's happened to Alyssa Healy's keeping? She's never been the tidiest, but you don't usually notice her. She's been really scrappy the last few games.

If England lose by 1 run due to an awful umpiring call that robbed them of a leg-bye will the ICC finally wake up and sort out the regulations? #EngvInd

This is a marvellous evisceration of ‘Quisling traitor’ Gubby Allen. I’ve just read it out loud to my portrait of Douglas Jardine and he thoroughly approved.

I’m not classically educated, but I know a trap when I see one.

good morning, found out about the news by waking up, opening WhatsApp and seeing that a friend had messaged "Oh my god JD Vance has Liz Trussed the pope"

This is high art

"Don't Be a Sucker" by the US War Department (1947) The film follows a young American, drawn in by a speaker promising an end to jobs for minorities and removing foreigners. He encounters a Hungarian professor who explains this is how Nazis grab power for themselves. archive.org/details/Dont...

I think I'm a little in love with Glenn Phillips #championstrophy #nzvind

McCullum interview included this: "...rather than suffocate yourself with this pressure of trying to do the right thing or perform or try to win." Seems we're doing pretty well at the doing the wrong thing, and not trying to perform or win. I assume winning will somehow choose us one day.

Just listened to the TMS pod. I must be cross, because I rarely do pods. Agree with almost all of it, except for Dan saying "they need to speak better." They need to play better. If they play better, they can say what they like. @norcrosscricket.bsky.social

Another painful watch as England lose the plot against Afghanistan. On paper there are talented bowlers, but there's no plan, no leadership. Seems like we just drift through games, scratching our heads with no clue.

England glimpse victory in the distance, approach it, then blithely walk on by. Is anyone else finding English cricket's - male, female, overall - ability to find a way to lose rather dispiriting?

Brook - steps away early, falls to a slower ball. Buttler - steps away early, followed, hits it to mid-off. Good bowling, but they're making it easy for them, again.

At first you wouldn't be sure which England cricket team Emma John is talking about.

Martin Guptill has the lowest average of test batters to score 2000 runs opening - 27.49. Zak Crawley is 5th, averaging 29.90. They're incredibly similar in build, technique, and flaws. Guptill averaged nearly 42 in ODI's, proper player. Isn't it about time England switch Zak to white-ball?

I hoped my first effort here would be something profound and important, but no. Dropping stuff at the charity shop, #whamageddon Earliest ever. No good deed goes unpunished.
