Was there some sort of mass email that went out to all the "funny" Australian cricket content makers that instructed them to all do the same bit about Perth wickets by birth nation?

Cannot believe they buried this USA v Namibia news under some "India v Pakistan" nonsense.
India and Pakistan will play each other in the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup on February 15 in Colombo, with the full schedule set to be announced by the ICC on Tuesday.
ESPNcricinfo has learned India and Pakistan have been grouped with the USA, Netherlands and Namibia

I love the idea that any of this manic lunacy can be described as a stirring comeback.
Australia need 205 runs to win the first Men's Ashes Test against England after a stirring comeback on the second afternoon in Perth.

If you told cricket fans from any time other than this that one Ashes side keeps getting out because they're swaggering morons and the other side keeps getting out because they're brittle wimps, and then you asked who's who ...

Finally,the news of the day makes absolutely no sense in a *good* way.
One thing. I asked for one thing.
Ok. Obviously we've already made the pivot from "This is the year!!" to "This could still be the year." All I'm asking is that we put off "This really seemed like the year" until sometime tomorrow.

Odds at -2.5 that the story Bob Mortimer is telling is true.
The BBC DG needs to be someone who will look at the media environment and pivot to gambling.

Here's what it's like being a cricket fan in South Florida. In a few days begins the "Mayors New World t20," a four-team, 12-day competition at Lauderhill that I heard about yesterday.

I would have been deported from Britain under this.
Here Lam explicitly sets out her proposal - which is official Conservative Party policy - to deport long-standing legal permanent residents who have *ever* claimed any benefit, including the state pension or child benefit (even if the child is British), or who earn less than £39K.

Can we take a moment to thank France? Between cool retro crime and bringing back a major villain from a few seasons ago just to throw him in prison, they're the only purveyors of fun news right now. Plus they made one of the scary technologies sound like "Cat, I farted" in their language. Good guys.

As a South Florida guy who's been watching virtually all Lauderhill matches get scheduled for the subtropical rainy season - solidarity with everybody suffering through a World Cup that's weirdly not going well during Lankan monsoon season.

"Cultural incoherence" is one of the things that makes Britain great and interesting. Ever been to a place with a great deal of cultural coherence? You'll never be so bored in your life.
Sunday Times interview Tory "rising star" Katie Lam
She is clear she wants lots of legal migrants to be told to "go home" so as "to leave a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people"
(The interviewer suggests she is scrapping ILR or stripping people of it)

I think the thing I hate most about the term "bad light" is that it's gaslighting light. The light is not bad. All light is content-neutral. Granted, "insufficient ability to deal with perfectly normal light that's less bright than it might otherwise be" isn't as pithy, but still.
