Deol is retired out for 47 off 37 to bevreplaced by Chloe Tryon. Poor decision by a guy who doesn't know these players.

Loving Ricky Ponting's rant about batters not coming out to field when they no legitimate reason not to field.
Umpires need to stop teams "resting" these players or replacing poor fielders with good ones.

Lately I see that NATO is described as Nato. Careless typing like this must make others, not just me, wonder if you take the same careless approach to news gathering. I do hope not. Sky can get it right and I suggest you would be offended if others started typing Bbc!

I have just spent 25 mins on line trying to top up my pay as you go phone account only to be told (several times) that I can't read a 6 digit number. Seems business is booming as firms are very reluctant to take money from you!

The only way this would be more accurate is if you removed the words "like Rockstar"!
Also… if you are a man in employment in the private sector in the UK/US the biggest act of feminism you can do is tell your colleagues your salary.

Companies like Rockstar rely on individual employees not knowing exactly what their collegues are being paid. What payrise or condition changes they got after a complaint or negotiation.
They always scream blue murder and panic when people start being open about it.

More money for the NHS; social services not stretched to breaking point; the abolition of the 2 child limit; and a better country to live in - it’s these things… right?
How might Reeves increase income tax – and what does it mean for you?

I was putting the big lens away for winter and wondered what my statistics were for 2025, so I checked:
🏏 I took photos at 25 games
🏏 I saw 8995 runs scored
🏏 I saw 368 wickets taken
🏏 I saw 7 new teams
🏏 I went to 10 new locations
Already looking forward to 2026!

Nice tribute to Patsy Lovell amongst others...
Before the start of play yesterday we remembered Members, friends and family of the Club who have passed since the start of last season.
A poignant tribute to those who each contributed to making the Kia Oval such a special place.

A quiet "changing of the guard" at Hampshire this season - none of the 2018 County Championship winning team now remain - Lottie herself was the last one to go, after Charlie Dean and Emily Windsor departed over the winter.
