The last team to break the Old Firm's hold over the Premiership had Alex Ferguson as manager. Hearts have Tony Bloom and his analytics.
The Hearts story is in part a romantic underdog's tale, but also a tale of how smart insurgent clubs can topple giants

'It’s absolute immortality. They would never ever be forgotten.'
After 41 years, the Old Firm's hold over the Scottish top flight could be broken.
A piece from Edinburgh on the Hearts story, and what it says about the need for uncertainty in football

This book is a captivating summation of facts, anecdotes and folklore around Test Cricket - A format that has been shaped by war, politics and happenstance.
Fascinating fact : Michael Holding was a computer programmer in the 70's!
Thanks, @timwig ♥️

@timwig Sure 👍. Will do so at the earliest. Thanks for writing it .

Through two tours to Australia, he earned 10 times the fees paid to professionals . He was the quintessential “shamateur” amateur. Who cares what the MCC clause says in 1787 ; our man is born to rule and make money .
@timwig has beautifully described his shenanigans!

If he was around now, you can bet your bottom dollar that the old bugger wouldn’t be playing in the County Championship in April. No sir. He’d absolutely be cashing in, chasing the franchise contracts. Gloucestershire would be a lucky to get a look in until June. He was the original, unashamed cricket mercenary. He may still have preferred long form cricket — records meant something to him — but he wouldn’t have been ale to resist the money. He never did.

This looks superb

Stay in the Premier League - or get relegated while qualifying for the Champions League?
How Nottingham Forest could face a unique position next year.
Financially, staying in the PL would be far better - for all the romance of the Champions League

@3StripedJackal sadly quite long out of uni! but have spent far too much time researching cricket history and see England's attitudes repeat generation after generation
English
@timwig I take it you’re not long out of university, Tim?
You have that sense of self loathing about you.

A T20 Africa Cup launching highlights the missed opportunity of England opposing a European equivalent.
England have historically been behind the curve again and again on globalising the game, hampering cricket's growth. This feels like yet another example
Tristan Lavalette@trislavalette
A 6-team T20 Africa Cup - featuring South Africa and Zimbabwe - is in the works. As a soft launch, a T20 tri-series between South Africa, Zimbabwe & Namibia is set for August in Namibia. Plus an update on the proposed Afro-Asia Cup reboot cricketfj.com/p/exclusive-ne…
