@brookeswrites SL played really well-with a bit more confidence, could have done better than 1-2. England not pushed enough in first 2 tests. Nicholas: a historical question for my work: have red balls used in SL over past 40 years always been Kookaburra?

Still processing yesterday and a pretty topsy-turvy summer. But left The Oval feeling very proud of the skill and spirit SL showed across 3 Tests. They opened a lot of eyes with their performances. A few reflections from me…

@ESPNcricinfo @afidelf Great article. Will it make a difference to the powers-that-be? England got more than they deserved over the series. Andrew, I have a historical question: have the red balls used in SL over past 40 years always been Kookaburra?

Sri Lanka's win is a reminder that there is a world of mad new narratives in Tests beyond The Ashes, or the Border-Gavaskar, or the England vs India series @afidelf ✍️ es.pn/3XB4UYc | #ENGvSL

Seven of #England's starting XI against #Denmark in the #Euro2020 semi final have parents or grandparents born overseas. And if you trace the families of almost all the #ThreeLions squad back, you'll find migration stories ow.ly/BDIf50F9995 #FootballMovesPeople #ENGDEN

@angusarmstrong8 @CarterPaddy Ah, ok. I was referring to the Friedman piece. And I think it was in fact a link to the original, which was also in the NYT, rather than a reprint. (The commentary was new.)

@sgelb1 @CarterPaddy Re-printed the Friedman or the Arrow? I replied to @CarterPaddy about the Arrow paper.

Friedman’s incredibly influential essay assumed a world of complete competitive markets: most markets are a long way from this idealisation. Arrow’s reply Social Responsibility and Economic Efficiency (‘73) is masterful.

@SpursOfficial “....and when we felt the weakness, we went for the jugular...” If that was his instructions, one of our players took him a bit too literally .... #COYS

@abiehunt @ODIdev Welcome ‘back’!

First day back @ODIdev after mat leave. A lot happened in 10 months! Seeking reccs of recent papers, analysis etc on my area of work. So on gender aspects of 🌟how paid work interacts w/ unpaid care/domestic work 🌟labour conditions 🌟social protection 🌟future of work Thanks!

@rafifriedman “Main rather than biggest....” Sounds like a lawyer ... 🤣

@sgelb1 Fair point! Though hence “main” rather than “biggest”. Think there are a few metrics on which that’s true; total vote share, total council seats and geographic range of constituencies. But as you say, Blackford’s constituency is impressively far from London (Ross and Skye!)

All 3 main parties now lead by MPs for London constituencies. Short commute for PMQs at least but probably not the best look.

@bhbradlow Congratulations Ben!

@BurnleyOfficial @Cricket_Ali @jimmy9 @englandcricket Think he’s now at last shed the “Burnley Lara” tag to be recognised for his bowling rather than his batting.... What an achievement - congratulations @jimmy9

Congratulations from the Clarets to one of their own as @jimmy9 takes his 600th Test wicket for @englandcricket – the first pace bowler in the history of the game to reach the landmark. Another Burnley legend 🏏👏

@patdevereaux Very disappointing - we scraped a lucky 6th on the field but near the bottom in the morality league, even though the standard is incredibly low
