@NoContextCounty The batter is batting outside of his crease to reduce the time the ball can swing. He was gaining an advantage and that comes with occupational hazards. Stay in your crease.

Most Australian dismissal of all time

Painful day for suburban cricketer Brodie Hoyle. Wears one where it hurts, then gets run out as he takes a few deep breaths.
English
@TheRealALM He's been woefully out of form by all accounts. McGree will ruin their hopes of play offs on the last day tho.

watford you destroyed our hopes and dreams
ALM@TheRealALM
watching Welcome to Wrexham next season and seeing Irankunda destroy Ryan Reynold's hopes and dreams

@BenPhillips_ANU The rent is cheaper than London (for better quality housing) and the salaries almost double. It's not that bad.
English
These reports that dramatically overstate financial stress of mid/high income households diminish the true challenges of seriously low income households. The median household in Australia is vastly better off than most around the world even after housing. theguardian.com/australia-news…

@thmsenglsh I'm not sure if this is fair. They're building a lot of housing which is noticeable from regional towns to Sydney. Lots of NSW Gov construction sites signs around - might not be the reason but they are present!

Turf wickets in southern Sri Lanka are a rarity, so much so even Richmond College, Galle lacks one. That makes the Sri Sumangala ground, gifted by Lord’s, a godsend. Opened in 2007 by Mike Brearley, it’s been superbly maintained by Kushil Gunasekara’s Foundation, backed by Murali

@RexClementine Do you think the SLC would be open to picking guys like this if they never make the Australian team, but become serviceable shield players?

Two Sri Lankan origin players; Naden Cooray and Nitesh Samuel from Sydney have been named in Australia Under - 19 World Cup squad. The defending champions are in Group A alongside Ireland, Japan and Sri Lanka. The tournament will be played next month in Zimbabwe and Namibia.

@Mistadamage Yes and no,, only an MP can submit a written question or have director level chats with public servants.

@SwiftPatrickLon Considering most of the large burden of electoral assistance is done by staff, maybe a better solution is to increase staff and offices rather than increase political head count
English
National debt is escalating, housing is unaffordable, inflation and interest rates are stubbornly high, productivity is in freefall, but don't worry, this government has come up with a solution:
More politicians 👇🏻
I kid you not 🤦♂️
Antony Green - elections@AntonyGreenElec
If the Senate were increased to 14 Senators per state in 2028, as is rumoured, the next half-Senate election would be for 8 Senators with the quota reduced to 11.1%. That would be very tempting for One Nation.

@cmoncheeeeks It made bowling more exciting on flat decks 🤷
Yes, obviously cheating but objectively more interesting for the bowlers

I’m gonna be honest here this sandpaper incident was no where near as bad as the reaction it gets. These players got treated like criminals for rubbing a sandpaper on ball lmao 😭😭😭

@Smithy_MFC84 His insights have been great not just platitudes or cliches. Can't remember any manager we've had like it!
English
I’m all in on Hellberg, what an absolute delight he’s been up to now.
Appreciate everything is better when you’re winning, but I’ve been so impressed with his insight up to now, the time he takes to explain tactics, every word is something interesting.
Lovely bloke too. #Boro
Middlesbrough FC@Boro
Looking to build on an impressive start 💬

@Deep_Take001 This is a completely normal response to taking that catch.

He's so funny even when he celebrates. Like you can tell he's a complete weirdo (not derogatory). 😭

. @triplej should stop competing with streaming platforms and lean into what it does well, platforming Australian live music.

@mattylufc_ Don't drive on the up and bowl at the stumps, it's not rocket science - or psychological for that matter!

Gets me how we turn up to Australia and just get absolutely ragdolled every single time. We know they can be got at, the worst West Indies side of all time beat them in a pink ball test at this ground about 18 months ago. Yet we get absolutely nowhere near them. Has to be mindset
