This is a bit like watching Yokohama under Postecoglou but without any of the attacking threat.

Crikey, there's a title race going on in the J League, isn't there?

Looks like we got our answer as to whether it spins at Cairns.

Really enjoyed this; it was short, but very different - whole cast of characters I'd like to know more about, too.

Dickie Bird is at Scarborough today watching Yorkshire take on Warwickshire. In 1958 he opened the batting for Yorkshire there against the MCC. He made 62.

That was 67 years ago.

Rehan Ahmed made 119 in his, and Leicestershire's, first innings against Kent - the thirteenth time in a row he has made double figures; last out for less than 10 against India A at the end of May, and before that, in both games against Staffordshire in early May.

England going from ADR 12*, Dunkley 34* to Dean 0*, ADR 12* - it counts worse.

Lots of DRoss penalties, for sure.

Well, that was quite tense for a quarter final.

Confessing that I presumed the high Z content of Zimbabwe players would be a gold mine here

I find it difficult to imagine that two tennis players with as much a disparity in name length have ever met.

Nobody in the Yorkshire XI has a forename beginning with a letter after M in the alphabet.

Taking a few minutes out and watching the @somersetccc.bsky.social v @hampshirecricket.bsky.social women's game; the latter set up for a big finish to their innings.

Really nice to see how many kids are there, and how delighted they are with autographs and pictures with players.

If I'm reading this right, the Cubs have played 23 games against the NL West, compared to 19 against NOT the NL West. Given the strength of that division. Wow.

Needed something to fill a couple of hours on trains today and this documentary about tea was fantastic.

Yorkshire's wickets largely being scattered around the four letter named players Hill, Coad, catches from Bean, Lyth...Bairstow the only outlier thus far. Dom Bess waits.

Ben Coad is 1-11 off 10.1. Binary work from the lad.

Step away from your window, Rogers Hornsby, and leave at your own chosen speed. Spring is here, baseball is back and the sun is rising over the horizon.

2025/5 - This was a peculiar one; quite intense. Very odd that Oakwell Hall made a late appearance.

This is where you miss out by not following cricket - because the few nations that do are spread across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, you're never more than a few hours from another match starting.

2023 ODI World Cup shatters viewership records Tournament finishes as the most watched at venues and on TV and digital platforms

Amidst the back and forth between the NFL and World Cup viewership discourse, I was reminded of this article highlighting that 300 million people watched the ODI World Cup Final back in 2023.
