Yesterday I spoke to a trans woman called Suzi James, a cricketer of 20 years, the game wrenched away from her overnight. One of the most affecting interviews I’ve done.

I really love cricket bats and batmaking (not that it would/could do it myself).
This is great from @philwisden.bsky.social on Salix. One of the great batmakers going. Kember is an artist with the willow.

Salix, a legendary name in bat making, is branching out into newer markets, revitalised by fresh ideas, an evolving marketplace and wedding bells in the workshop. Long-time fan @philwisden.bsky.social headed to Kent to see where the magic happens

Edwards is viewed as a one-off. But it’s been put to me that if ECB doesn’t follow their pledge for open recruitment processes, why should Counties when they look to recruit coaches. That’s the trickle down effect. See pt 11 re recruitment all ECB roles: www.ecb.co.uk/news/2463053

what i'm basically saying here is that you can't really understand tottenham's style of football without a basic understanding of the greek military coup of 1967, put that on your touchscreen jamie carragher

Checked out the scorecard just to be sure i'd cocked up the date - and sure enough, August 18 1990, Waqar cleans up Gooch (9), Stephenson (7) and Waugh M (0) in his first spell... Essex win by 283

😯😍 So amazing that Wisden have decided to switch the iconic yellow of the almanack to green for this special climate action edition!!! 🌍💚
Can't wait to get our hands on it 🙌
An uncertain future for beautiful New Road - CEO Ashley Giles rules out flood barriers, while admitting that living with climate change-induced flooding is "increasingly unmanagemable." The club look for an "additional" venue as climate change reality starts to bite.

Last month I did a little experiment.
I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.

Conversation with nephew, 4
Me: it’s your birthday soon Alf, right?
Him: yeah I’m old
Me: do you know how old I am?
Him: ten thousand?
Me: correct
Pause
Him: are you really ten thousand?
Me: no, I’m 45
Him: that’s mad
It can be very easy to get lost in statistics over the proposed #benefitscuts. No doubt at least 2/3 of the press will now be running opinion pieces about why our “bloated benefits bill” needs cutting and why “workshy” sick people need to be “encouraged” back to work. 🧵
