What a dreadful spectacle
Paul runs, grabs, falls and hugs AJ legs. But can stick his tongue out for those social clips
Of course, he's outskilled and mismatched but it is just rubbish sport

Nothing has the tension, nuance then such a counterpoint in explosive drama. Its slowness is its strength in this regard
The ebb and flow of the first day of #TheAshes just proves it again
Then there is the ceremony, history and pageantry

The County Championship title-decider btwn Surrey and Notts is so finely poised
Ignore the hype and marketing, it will be the best sport you see this week.
Not everything has to be 'turned up to 11' to be enjoyable.

These photographer chases and scrums around winning athletes at #WorldAthleticsChamps are ridiculous. Just too many swarming around
Of course, they are part of the media but impinges the key TV moments.
