Your spelling needs attention. Your writing is also very bad. We tell you this in all kindliness of feeling.

Sort of glad #TheAshes are done and the daily flogging and flip flopping by the English media is over. Remember the Will Jacks should bat at 3 discourse? Remember how 4 innings ago England set Bethell up to fail? I get it, there's a lot of time to fill but it's all so reactionary

Steve Smith moves past Jack Hobbs' tally of 3636 runs in The Ashes - only Don Bradman (5028) has more 📈 #AUSvENG #Ashes

Joe Root has had a curious series: two 100s, but only 96 in his other 7 innings combined. The record for "two centuries in a series and not much else" was set a year ago today, when Steve Smith made 140 and 101 in the home series v India, but only 73 in his other 7 innings.

Just been to #Kenrex at The Other Place. Beg, borrow, steal a ticket. Or just buy one I suppose... This review of it is on point.

Without too much thought... 1. Gnod / White Hills - Drop Out III 2. The Men - Buyer Beware 3. Florry - Sounds Like... 4. Civic - Chrome Dipped 5. Wednesday - Bleeds

In no particular order... 1. BCUC / KOG (Village Underground) 2. Warmduesher / Y (Shacklewell Arms) 3. Ewe & Friends (Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes) 4. Deadlians (George Tavern) 5. Johnnie Carwash / My Fat Pony / Ewe & Friends (George Tavern)

A fantastic story. 15,000 spectators for the final game in the 1930s. ""All these women ask is that they be taken seriously and not judged by male standards," she wrote all those years ago." One for @crickether.com, @bethcooper.fyi and @somuchcricket.bsky.social to spread!

Everyone back to Noosa 🤣🤣

England claim a Test win down under for the first time in 5,468 days 🙌 Scorecard: bit.ly/Ashes25-Test4

mad that this shambolic, nihilistic farce of a series is - by dint of this single stupid win - now in england’s top ten greatest men’s ashes tours since WW2

Some great ones there that I'd not heard. Mine are... 1. Townies - Wednesday 2. Here Together Now - Pale Blue Eyes 3. Skipper - Y 4. Hammer - Ancient Hostility 5. First It Was A Movie, Then It Was A Book - Florry Lots I'll regret leaving on the cutting room floor, but that's the game isn't it.

Christmas songs, happy or otherwise... Only get them out once a year...

It just gets worse: Jofra Archer is out of the Ashes tour with a side strain. In his place, England have recalled Gus Atkinson for the 4th Test. They've also dropped Ollie Pope. Jacob Bethell replaces him. There are no other changes.

Official confirmation that Kirstie Gordon WILL be representing Scotland in 2026! She is still recovering from injury, so won’t feature in January’s qualifier, but hopefully there will be a “home” World Cup for her next summer. I’m delighted for her and for Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏏

"Can the ECB even afford to fire McCullum, let alone Key, should the current run of results run to its natural end, the 5-0 immolation? We may well find out before long." If you think that's enough I've got a bridge to sell you.

300 episodes in and still going strong - if you're looking to keep up with women's cricket from a really knowledgeable source you can't do better than the @crickether.com weekly! Congrats to Raf and Syd and here's to 300 more!

Australia are better than England. It's as simple as that. England have convinced themselves they're a better side with better players than they actually are. They've not truly replaced Broad and Anderson and I truth they've never really adequately replaced Cook, Trott and Swann

Spoke too early. Bloody wicketkeepers... Well played Carey.

Well that's more like it. #TheCricket

Ollie Pope averages just 18.71 from 14 Test innings against Australia, with a high score of 46 😨

If I was a West Indian cricket fan I'd 100% be posting about how sad it is to see the decline of English cricket and how the world needs a strong England.

We're happy to announce that Bandcamp Fridays will be returning in 2026. Check out the full list of dates below and get your wishlists ready for the final #bandcampfriday of 2025 this Friday, December 5th.

Last #BandcampFriday of the year. And I've used it to buy a few things

England have announced their women's central contract list for 2025-26 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Linsey Smith has earned her first full contract seven years after making her international debut, while Em Arlott and Emma Lamb have been awarded skills contracts for the first time Full story: bit.ly/4iHO57a

Quite an accurate stat, though. #Ashes 🏏

RIP Steve Cropper - such sad news. Here's a playlist of some classic Stax tunes that he co-wrote and performed on, featuring Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Eddie Floyd, Wendy Rene, Don Covay... ▶️🎸 open.spotify.com/playlist/7qH...

Always the best End of Year list if only because there’s just enough: 1) records I recognise & love, 2) records I haven’t heard, 3) records I didn’t like at all 4) missing records that make me sad & angry & 5) records I think are definitely made up but haven’t yet had the time to Google.

I missed this news, these guys know what they are doing so im fully expecting this to be great. cc @rhymerrigby.bsky.social @richardelliot.bsky.social @rebeccamelliot.bsky.social @bobfrombrockley.bsky.social @akbrown.bsky.social @transpontine.bsky.social @kateallen.ft.com @statsgeekclare.bsky.social

Start the weekend with this slice of optimistic weird Britain pop music. #HenOgledd #EveryDayMusic

Never liked cricket anyway. Stupid sport.

But despite today’s score being 295-19, someone will be complaining about over rates.

Listening to the Ashes.

You can’t assess a wicket until both sides have batted like shit on it #TheCricket

Every song by Elizabeth Morris of @allodarlin.bsky.social, ranked! After four months of work (!!!), my next huge feature is about a band you maybe haven't heard of that might end up being everything to you: joeydaniewicz.com/2025/11/17/m...

On the CRICKETher Weekly: * Syd gets on board the WBBL Cane Train * The importance of the ICC’s Emerging Nations Trophy * Why can’t England play in-swing? * Who will make their England debut in the next 12 months? * Raf reviews the ECB’s latest Equity Report

Cameron Green is bowling again 💪 The Australia allrounder had figures of 8-3-13-1 across two spells for Western Australia yesterday at the WACA bit.ly/3JuxfeR

The ICC's additional 10% funding for associate nations is welcome. For Scotland that is around $150-200K which is a helpful boost but it's already mostly been eaten up by inflation and devaluation of the US dollar over the last year.

Have a wonderful evening. #EveryDayMusic

Today is a great day. There's the promise of a new #WavePictures album and the first song off it is fantastic.

On the CRICKETher Weekly: * Where next for Lottie’s England? * Will Australia get a new coach and/or captain? * How India triumphed in the #CWC25 final * Is an auction in The Hundred a good idea?
