@_hypocaust Love the all rounder role - worried that impact player rules will effectively do away with that talented skill

Players like Mady Villiers increasingly fulfilling their all-round potential is one of the biggest endorsements of the professional structure introduced in English women's domestic cricket over the last few years.

@TheCinesthetic From Dusk til Dawn

what’s a film that had the BIGGEST PLOT TWIST EVER and it still blows your mind just thinking about it ?

@function2fitnes Got it! Thanks

The fix isn't a longer differential list. It's a sharper reasoning sequence. I've just published a clinical guide, walking through the framework I use in clinic and teach on my hip course: → Why labels fail → The 6 discriminating questions that narrow the field fast → The 3 clinical pathways that follow → What commonly gets missed (Ischio-femoral impingement, pudendal entrapment, sacral BSI ) → When to image and which modality answers which question Free 14-page PDF guide inside it.

@CoreyTwine Does this apply to younger players too where guidelines in some sports limit exposure to sport to protect from Overload?

This is a good read and it gives a very clean framework for a conversation we often overcomplicate. Gabbett frames rehabilitation and performance programming around three concepts: the floor, the ceiling, and time. The floor is the athlete’s current capacity. The ceiling is the capacity required to perform the specific demands of the sport. The problem is that we cannot pretend someone is ready just because symptoms are down or because they look good in a controlled setting. The real question is whether their current capacity has been progressively built toward the demand they are about to face. That is why injury mitigation cannot become the primary operating system. When injury mitigation leads the process, it can easily become exposure reduction. Less load. Less speed. Less complexity. Less chaos. That may look safer on paper, but Gabbett makes the opposite concern very clear: if the training stimulus is inadequate, the athlete may be underprepared, underperform, and be at risk for reinjury. The paper also states that reducing the ceiling is not realistic because the demands of performance continue to evolve, and the physicality and complexity of sport are generally increasing. The right structure is performance first, with injury mitigation as a byproduct of intelligent preparation. The goal is not to avoid demand. The goal is to build the capacity to tolerate demand. That means maintaining an adequate floor, identifying the ceiling, understanding the most demanding passages of play, and progressing training loads in a gradual, systematic way. Gabbett’s summary is the line that matters: appropriately prescribed training can create resilient and robust athletes capable of withstanding the high loads of competition. That is the distinction. Therapy can restore function. Performance has to build capability. Those are connected, but they are not the same thing. The end point cannot simply be “less pain” or “less exposure.” The end point has to be readiness for the real environment.

@SkyCricket @TheBarmyArmy Awesome!

The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is coming free‑to‑air on Sky 🙌🏏 Sky Sports will make both the opening match and final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 available free-to-air on Freeview, via Sky Mix, allowing the biggest audiences possible to get behind the tournament 📺

@elonmusk We are already seeing loss of jobs in certain sectors in UK as AI replaces knowledge based jobs but no sign of support for those people on the horizon. I hear people talk of UBI but nowhere have I seen any action towards this. Significant unemployment happening already and nada

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@NoThirdMan @ProfTimNoakes Any idea how this looks for the women’s program?

FACT: A quarter of all male professional cricketers (101), who grew up in England & Wales, went to just 23 independent schools. 🏏🧑‍🎓 Which ones are best at developing England players? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@stevemagness What happens after 12?

The key to Norway's sporting success?
 "It takes everything we do in the US and does the opposite. We treat child athletes like budding professionals, prodigies train like the pros they look up to. In Norway, they let kids be kids. We don't keep score before age 12."

@SandyofSuffolk Already have to have it if you are a director of a company - no choice!

All this government talk of digital ID again just pees me off. It's just something else thought up by people in London who don't live in the real world. Have they visited many places like Aldeburgh in Suffolk, or Fowey in Cornwall, and the north Norfolk coast where the signal is so bad, you'll be lucky to make a 'phone call let alone manage to stay connected on the internet? And it may come as a surprise to them that lots of people actually don't have a mobile 'phone or go out without it, or only have internet access at home.

@TheBarmyArmy Just like 7S v 15s in rugby - depends on the mood , sometimes an episode, a mini-series sometimes Lord of the Ring trilogy

A straight up question for a Tuesday morning. What is best - T20, ODI or Test?

@jackconran8 @adamdobson123 @AdamMeakins Which AI did you ask? I have found quite a difference in guidance between Chat GPT and Gemini

asked by a patient if it’s safe to deadlift etc with 2 MRI confirmed annual tears at L3/4 and L4/5. I said yes but work within comfort limits & build up. He showed me AI & it said they can be made worse by heavy lifting 😩. What do you advise pts? @adamdobson123 @AdamMeakins

@TheBarmyArmy My daughters fixtures to be on a Sunday so I can play on a Saturday

@hubermanlab All I did at Uni was go to bed and try read a Physiology text book - never got past the first paragraph. My table doctor in anatomy was head of the sleep Lab - thoroughly enjoyed our stories about of getting to sleep

I agree it sounds wacky, but to fall asleep you need to forget about your body position. These eye movements can help with that. There are new sleep technologies that are starting to incorporate rocking into the bed & they also leverage the vestibular system. More tech needed…

@TheBarmyArmy I was in 2nd year Uni and the next day Richard Snell (South African bowler) was my classmate

Tell us about a random interaction you’ve had with a cricketer 👇

@tomgoom And that’s how advertising and marketing wins

Interesting new study on running shoe selection…. 👟 Fife et al. (2025) recruited 21 female runners and asked them to compare their own shoes to two other pairs. One pair which was ‘gait matched’ to suit the runner’s foot shape and running style. The other pair was described as ‘basic’ and not specifically suited to the runner. But here’s the twist... both of these pairs were actually the same running shoe! The only difference was the colour. The researchers even went through the process of analysing gait and foot shape to support the illusion that the ‘gait matched’ shoe was specific to their needs. In reality, the shoes were the same but the runner’s perception of these shoes was altered. As a result runners rated the ‘gait matched’ shoes as more comfortable and better for performance and reducing injury risk despite the shoes being the same with no significant differences in running gait. TAKE AWAY: A runner’s perception of a shoe can change comfort. Be mindful of this when recommending footwear. Reference: Fife A, Esculier JF, Ramsey C, Hébert-Losier K.

@GregLehman Don’t forget a giant fan - that wind was terrifying

I’d love to see a climbing gym recreate some of “problems” on Taipei 101.

@rjs199413 And over time sport and its rules move on - protect you players. Rugby did it so can you

FYI, I’m just a guy who played and loves football. Me and everyone that ever played a contact sport knew what we were getting into whenever we played.

What a joke of a call in ole Miss vs Georgia game. Kicking a kid out of the game for a good hit without his head. Clean, good hit. That’s football. We aren’t playing a non physical sport.

@coachkou @Wes_nship They said the same thing in rugby and they have learned to tackle better - protect your players - can still Play hard and be great to watch

The WR lowed his pad level late, also look at the Georgia football players lower half, he didn't lay him out, that was soft imo, come on, as a coach, we all know that should not be a disqualification in a playoff game. How do you teach a guy to tackle in that situation, Would love to hear it.

Way to go, son. You played football. As a reward, you are not allowed to play more football.
