🏏Hugely saddened to hear of the death of Hugh Morris, a key part of Glamorgan for many years as captain and CEO either side of his work with England. A genuinely nice man who achieved much within cricket as player and administrator, keeping Glamorgan afloat in tough times. RIP Hugh🙏🏽

🏏Lucky to grab a last minute ticket for day 2 after booking for day 3 at the MCG! #Cricket #Ashes

🏏England hold their nerve and ride their luck on a spicy pitch to earn victory over Aus at 178-6

Zak Crawley’s 37 & Jacob Bethell’s 40 get England close enough for Harry Brook to take them home

Aus all out 132 in another dramatic 2 day Test #Cricket #Ashes2025
December 27, 2025 at 6:28 AM
🏏England 77-2 at tea chasing 175 to beat Aus with the bowlers getting lots of movement

Duckett slogged a chancy 34 and Carse went cheaply after a bizarre promotion

Great drama, ludicrous cricket as we head for another 2 day finish #cricket #Ashes
December 27, 2025 at 4:20 AM
🏏Extraordinary stuff as Carse, Tongue and Stokes shoot out Aus for 132

175 to win for England on an awkward pitch even though the sun’s been out all day

🏏Chaos continues at MCG as Aus slip to 88-6, 130 ahead of England

All seamers take wickets but Atkinson off with sore hamstring

Head’s 46 the only major score - surely not another 2 day Test?

🏏I see West Indies batted 160 odd overs to get a draw in NZ including 60 plus overs for the seventh wicket pair…. Wonder if England noticed…

🏉Eben Etzebeth is a lucky man to get the lowest end of the range for a 12 week ban. Not much mitigation apart from his previous test record, but doesn’t miss any tests.

🏉If Wales finish 2nd in #RWC2027 group they would play runner up of Argentina Fiji group

Winner of that game to face winner of France 🆚 Ireland or Scotland

QF appearance would be a successful campaign for Wales this time after being a disappointment last time

🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Wales face England, Tonga and Zimbabwe in #RWC2027

Teams ranked 3rd, 6th and 5th in the other bands so could have been worse..

Wales 🆚 England, Ireland 🆚 Scotland and NZ 🆚 Aus for “derbies”

Two from each group PLUS 4 third placed teams to go through

Strange news coverage over last few days of Budget - you’d think people would be used to gloomy economic forecasts and politicians giving selected facts, so the actual announcements aren’t quite as bad. No election involved and the financial markets haven’t been spooked so where’s the problem?

🏉Fine performance from Scarlets without most of their first choice outside backs 🆚 Glasgow but preventing the Scots from scoring. Overall a decent weekend for the Welsh pro clubs considering their absentees. Two URC wins, one near miss and Dragons unlucky not to get something. #Wales #Rugby

🏉Can we please not hear “if you want to be the best, you have to play the best”. I can’t see any playing benefit from today’s game. Wales probably need more fixtures against tier 2/3 countries to build up confidence- but the new comp means there’s little flexibility in opponents. #Wales #Rugby
November 29, 2025 at 5:30 PM
🏉 #WALvRSA as bad as feared. Whoever signed off the fixture should be hanging their head- did Welsh public really spend any more on 4 matches than they would have on 3? No way Wales should take on a Tier One nation without full squad to choose from. But should Wales be more competitive physically?
