Antony Taylor and Russell Martin.

Liar.

Bye bye Russ.

Suga was injured.

The ref has cost us.

Makes you wonder about spread betting.

You could ask that question about so many Leicester challenges, the ref is useless. How did we get 4 yellows and they have none ?

There is a scale used to measure the state of a cricket pitch in relation to batting, where 1 equals a table top and 10 is completely unplayable. The pitch used in these 2 tests was rated around 3.4/3.6 for the first test, but had deteriorated to 7.4 on day 3 of the second test, and 7.3 on day 4. I wonder what we will see in Rawalpindi.

Not sure if this is a National Curriculum thing or just a local initiative, but our grandson's school have come up with a way to nip any nascent racism in the bud; his class, 9 and 10 year olds, have been asked to write about what Stephen Lawrence would have grown up to be if he hadn't been murdered.

Remarkable how much devastation and how many dead children it is taking to achieve their war aims. Admittedly the trick pagers and radios were novel.

Holy false equivalence. As far as I can work out Abbott hasn't called for asylum seekers to be burned alive.

Fattus fingerus per keyboardum tabletorum.

Every time Donnie opens his mouth it is "cringe" from start to finish. It is amazing how half of the US electorate still think he is the best candidate.

GROOOOT !

So if you cannot use the common English names and cannot use the Latin taxonomical ones, what do you call them and put on the labels ? 'Tree', 'Anither tree', 'shrub',.....

Donnie repeating the debunked lie that "we didn't have guns" when describing Jan 6th as "an act of love".

Obviously, when playing "the right way", results don't matter. Winning is soooo last season.

Marc Benioff, CEO of TIME magazine, put out SM posts berating Harris for not holding an interview with them. The image posted above, however, is not a genuine TIME byline.

From an Andy Saltzman article on the BBC; ''It was the fourth time in Test history that a team has been bowled out for 556, and Pakistan's defeat took the all-time record for Teams-Dismissed-For-556 to an unimpressive won one, lost three. The stats thus suggest that, strategically, teams are better off being skittled for 75 (won two, lost two) or collapsing to 96 all out (won two, lost one, drew one, with a 100% win record since 2004), than piling up a once-impregnable 556. #YouCanProveAnythingWithStatistics''

4 for 14 rips the heart out of our middle order.

The narrow minded, elderly, middle class, blue rinse brigade that elect the leader of the Conservative Party.

It has been reported that 10 thousand North Korean troops have been sent to assist Russia's war in Ukraine. It isn't clear whether they will be actively involved on the front line, but is has also been reported that a Ukrainian strike on a Russian depot killed several DPRK engineering officers.

The difference between Martin and Kompany is in where they played and who were their managers. VK played several seasons as club captain for Pep at Man City, the pinnacle of Russ's career was Norwich. Quite possibly some of Pep's magic rubbed off on VK, Russ is just a poor infatuated mimic.
