Great to catch up with @AdelCricket ‘s first ‘overseas’, Paul Bullen, on his UK visit from Melbourne, & a great turnout from the 1986 1st XI.

@BBCSport Haven’t seen anyone questioning the impact of the shoes (the ones that aren’t available to the public???). Isn’t this potentially the athletics equivalent of the swimsuits that had to be banned when every world record was smashed? Having said that, never thought I’d see a sub-2.

A moment we thought we would never see 🤯 Sabastian Sawe has become the first person to run a marathon in under two hours in race conditions.

Hey @SkySportsGolf … any chance of you showing some actual golf??? #masters @TheMasters

Is this the best that London & the SE can come up with? 😱🤷‍♂️ #greatbritishmenu

@englandcricket Wow … so absolutely no accountability for the total ‘car crash’ of an Ashes winter? Sadly not unbelievable with this jolly boys club, where the buck never stops.

“We want to improve and we will improve”. ECB CEO Richard Gould outlines the changes that will be made following an Ashes Review. Click below for the full interview 🎥

@TheCricketerMag @GeorgeDobell1 Any chance of playing the CC in the summer months then, if it’s to be of any use as a test cricket proving ground … rather than just an inconvenience to squeeze around the 💰Hundred💰?

Rob Key has admitted England "overplayed" the idea of "a settled team" in recent months and will be looking to county cricket to provide alternatives in the coming weeks | @GeorgeDobell1

Are @BBC trying to save cost by having #masterchef & #greatbritishmenu running concurrently with the same chefs on both?? 🤷‍♂️

Shortest penalty advantage of all time for England there. 😡 #FravEng

@RobertSSmith66 @sainsburys Exactly the sane for me @sainsburys … absolutely shocking way of treating your customers. Apparently in store staff are getting a lot of abuse about this …. no sh*t.

@sainsburys for the 2nd time recently, my SmartShop required a FULL trolley check. Not just 6 items - the FULL trolley. Either trust people to use the tech as intended or open more checkouts. If this happens to me again, I'll simply walk out and leave the full trolley there

@GolfMonthly Yep, but sadly I guess that’s supply & demand. Certainly not as bad as 20-30 years ago, but still feels like us lefties are at a disadvantage with range of clubs a) manufactured, b) given shelf space & c) available to try before buying.

Do left-handers get a raw deal when it comes to choice of clubs? golfmonthly.com/features/not-a…

What has England’s ‘specialist fast bowling coach’ (David Saker) had to say about why none of Wood, Archer, Atkinson or Stokes could make it through <20 days of test cricket?? #Ashes2025 #ashes

“You don’t get better by bowling less”. Jason Gillespie on comms. #ashes #Ashes2025

Surprised Smith didn’t review that & rely on Snicko 🤷‍♂️ #ashes #Ashes2025

If Root has to bat 4 (& I agree he should choose where he wants to bat), why does he drop to 5, below Bethell, when Carse is sent in as a pinch hitter??? 🤷‍♂️ #Ashes #ashes2025

How come the Aussies are using UltraEdge (which appears to work) for #bbl2025 , but Snicko (which clearly doesn’t) for the #ashes #Ashes2025 … in the same stadia ??? 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone seen or heard from Rob Key? 🤷‍♂️ #ashes2025

@tickerscricket Pyrrhic?

Australia having a nighwatchman padded up at #effectively 338-4 is ridiculous and embarrassing. Feels like there should be a word or phrase to describe this very tiny win for England that is not in fact an actual win of any kind.

@DAVIDTH76538792 @GeorgeDobell1 Maybe alongside KP getting into a p*ssing contest with Mitchell Johnson every innings, when all he had to do was see him off for 6-7 overs for the good of both him & the rest of the batting order? Deja vu …

@GeorgeDobell1 Never mind "they" - Brook gets to watch him up close playing for both Yorkshire and England and has learned nothing. Has there ever been a more frustrating English cricketer??

You'd think they looked at Joe Root and conclude 'Hmm, that works. I'll copy him.' Wouldn't you?

@cricket_badger Just make them stay out there ‘til they’ve bowled 90 overs. Think you’ll see the rate improve remarkably quickly. #simples

Australia bowling only 74 overs on day one is an absolute disgrace! #Ashes

… & so the torture begins of that first look at the phone in the morning to see what the score is. 😱 #theashes #Ashes2025
