Dial Square

Nothing stokes an English cricket fan's ire more than a loss to Australia, and this series looks sets to start another bonfire. With that in mind, I wanted to look at how good (or bad) Stokes’ record is compared to his recent predecessors.

Danny Murphy can't see how Tottenham keep Igor Tudor in charge. A 3-0 defeat at home by Nottingham Forest has left Spurs just one point clear of the relegation zone.

@Gloscricket I think white top coloured bottoms was a missed opportunity.

What are some of your favourite Sunday League memories? 🏏 Here’s Aussie legend Andrew Symonds smashing another boundary in a West Country derby back in the 1995 Sunday League! #BecomeGlorious

@TheAthleticFC "Going around with your face barely visible!" Muslim women on John Terry wearing that hat.

John Terry has appeared to endorse a UK politician’s social media post that advocates for a nationwide ban on the burqa before deleting his comment. The former England captain is still involved in football and has been in an academy coaching consultancy role with Chelsea since 2021, working in a part-time capacity that involves mentoring academy players. Rupert Lowe, an independent Member of Parliament (MP) and founder of Restore Britain, a recently registered political party, uploaded a photo to Instagram that stated his intention to outlaw the garment, worn by some Muslim women, if Restore Britain was to ever form a government. Restore Britain was launched in June as a pressure group and announced in March that it was an officially registered political party. It does not hold any seats in parliament.

@paddypower Yeah, I have read article after article about how confident Arsenal fans have been this season.

Arsenal fans before the final: "The quadruple is ours, we're going to win it all" Arsenal fans after the final: "League Cup is not that big of a deal anyway. Quadruple was always a tough ask"

@Lancswaffen @paddypower Feast on tears?

@paddypower Everyone in the country is gonna feast on their tears tonight 🤌🏻

@Surreycricfan Banger of a catch.

Still to this very day, this is one of the best slip catches I have seen in the County Championship by Marcus Trescothick 👌🏏

@jamesro @Surreycricfan Catch good for man who catch it, bad for man with stick.

@Surreycricfan Impressive catch…If I only understood Cricket this might mean even more

@DeadlineDayLive He started in 2020.

🚨 Mikel Arteta has failed to win a major trophy at Arsenal once again. 🚫 If he doesn't win a trophy this season for the Gunners, has he been a FAILURE? 🤔

@thecricketgully BBL looks, like the Hundred did, like it was clinically designed by a marketing agency to create eight distinctive brands. IPL, as also suggested by all the royal nicknames, is a bit more of an organic mess.

🇮🇳 IPL Jerseys 🆚 BBL Jerseys!🇦🇺👕 Which jerseys are you picking❓🤩

Our game has had a substantial windfall recently. It would be really good to set £12 million aside for the winner of the CC … what a tournament that would be ! … And play it in summer …….

@1968Tv I heard Steve Morrow saying the very same thing the other day.

Back in the day, when you won the League Cup at Wembley or even the FA Cup, the celebrations were always civilised. Today you just know it’s going to be over the top. #ARSMCI #CarabaoCup

@eng60scricket Not out. You can only be out during a game.

'That's out' - do you agree? 🤔 #seniorscricket

@paddypower "I've made a joke about how this game is good if you need to get to sleep." "But it's five o'clock." "Fuck it, I'll post it anyway."

If you're struggling with sleep, I suggest you stick on the Carabao Cup Final. You'll be out for the count within minutes.

@xGPredictor Wow, those three shots in the 8th minute were worth 0.35 or less?

How are those predictions looking? 👀

@nocontextfooty Bet that goes down well.

@90sPlayers For some the national shirt weighs heavy on their shoulders. Others can't even get it on.

@nostalgiafutbo4 Is that their home cardigan or their away cardigan?

What is your biggest cricketing red flag?

@IPL Getting like county cricket, were almost all the teams have ended up wearing some shade of black or blue.
