Some interesting scores and league standings from 1954. Imagine the TV money came in at this point. Who would be the biggest clubs around now?

Excellent analysis of why the govt got this right
Brilliant analysis of the WASPI debacle from Frances Coppola. A definitive explanation of why the government refused to pay compensation to 1950s women whose state pension age had been increased, why that was justified, and why WASPI's unreasonable demands ensured this result
The Waspi Campaign is dead
But why did the Labour Government kill it?

We need to implement this as the Prof says. Conservative, Reform and Musk attempted interventions are just white noise. None of them have the right to be taken seriously on this.

I struggle to understand how our defenders try to avoid the ball when blocking a shot yet other teams's defenders throw their bodies in the way. #bwfc

Oh dear Kohli. Showing that for all his greatness, he just doesn't get the spirit of cricket.

I think we can all make the "end of term/coming home for Christmas" observations about England. But, the best teams (Aus, India, SA) will be thinking "bat/bowl like that against us and we'll clean you up". I doubt this is our best test team - 5 places still to be sorted.

Enjoying #masterchef but the speaking to camera bits are too much stating the obvious! Looking forward to it without GW.

I'm interested in what others think about the financing of the 100 in the UK. In particular:
1. Do we believe it will generate the funds claimed?
2. If it is likely to, is there any alternative idea that could do similar without all the gimmicks?
3. Where do we see it in 5 years time?

Well batted Harry Brook. My concentration also used to waver in the 170s.

Interviews with the guys in the crowd in fancy dress is the way to go. Need to get the same guy in 6 hours though. Can't see interviewees being quite so articulate in England, before or after a day's drinking.

10 hours sleep last night for first time in years and I feel great. I can recommend retirement. But my smartwatch has deducted sleep points for sleeping too long.

Bumrah is a clear point of difference between the sides but Aus haven't become a poor side overnight - they will respond. Mental toughness will win this series and Aus rarely fall short in that. But India look tough, hardened, determined, willing to take risks and up for a fight. That may be telling
