Good luck, Matt. Absolutely smashing lad, great fun to watch and work with. I’m sure he’ll have a successful time at Kent.

Yes, I read Andrew Strauss’s high-performance review so you didn’t have to. Although as ever, interpreting the gist of these documents is not so much an exercise in reading as cryptography. By @jonathanliew

The man of the hour has just spoken to @BBCLancsCricket’s @scottread16! 🗣 @Stevenjcroft 🌹 #RedRoseTogether

I’ve followed the team home & away again this year, it’s a privileged position, and I love it. But I only have to talk about the game, not play it. I think it’s difficult to argue with what Mark says here.

Air con problems for one member of the commentary team today. #bbccricket

Terrific night @EmiratesOT Super atmosphere, close to a full house with 4 days to sell tickets. Brilliant fun the Blast.

"There's still something pretty special about the Blast. Something admirable which is able to attract over 10,000 spectators at 72 hours' notice. Something which deserves nurturing. It deserves a lot more respect than it receives" | @GeorgeDobell1 https://t.co/9EPgsiig2f

Of course deporting people to Rwanda is appalling. Everybody agrees with Prince Charles about that. The point is that some people really, really *want* refugees to be treated appallingly & that character defect is almost impossible to fix from the outside.

It’s the classic rightwing goalpost shift: from “illegal immigrants” to “migrants” generally to “refugees”. The moral panic purports to be about legality, but in reality it’s about people from different places being able to make lives for themselves here in the UK at all.

To be clear, not advocating there should be anti-Saudi sentiment over individuals involved in a single terrorist act, the leader designated a terrorist in SA before it happened. Just advocating from Brit POV that Freakonomics Ep on sportswashing: interesting.

15/19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi, as was the man who organised, masterminded & funded the 9/11 attacks, Osama Bin Laden. As a Brit listening to the most recent Freakonomics pod, interesting to note importance of this in US. ( https://t.co/y661dcf4Oz)

Trump didn’t even have a one-part plan for fighting Covid-19, but he had a SEVEN-PART PLAN to overturn an election he knew he lost.

🏏 Reflections from #Lancashire's dramatic T20 victory over #Yorkshire on Thursday's 'Inside Edge'. This is how @ScottRead16 and Stuart Law (@SLaw365) described the closing stages #bbccricket

It's been disappointing to read several ex-players criticising Parkinson. He got the call mid-match, having done no red-ball prep in 3 weeks, yet took 1-47 off 15.3 on a seaming pitch. For comparison, look at how the opposition spinner went - & he's got a 10fer in test cricket!
