#TheAshes #Ashes #Snicko I think this image of the Weatherald DRS does a good job of demonstrating the difference between Snicko and Ultra-Edge. Ball clearly hit the thigh pad. Ball has gone quite some distance past the batter on the frame with the "spike".

#TheAshes #Ashes #AusVsEng How does cricket have a situation where different technology is used for The Ashes depending on which country the game is being played in? And what's the difference between Real Time Snicko and Ultra-Edge?

#TheAshes #Ashes #AusVsEng 50 partnership for England. Australia falling apart in the last 15 minutes. Astonishing stuff from England.

TMS just reading the 3rd ump guidelines "a spike up to one frame after the bat is conclusive". Debate about if it was truly a "spike". Sharfuddoula has been 3rd umpire 67 times in all formats.

#TheAshes #Ashes My goodness! What a shot from Carse!

Judging by Smith's reaction, he's probably nicked it. But there's clearly something wrong with the DRS set-up. Getting the audio synced up with the visuals is probably quite complicated. I think something might have gone wrong.

#ashes #TheAshes #AusVsEng Who the fuck is the 3rd umpire?!

#ashes #TheAshes What is Atkinson doing. Has Baz told him to flail wildly at everything outside his off stump or something?

TMS audio carefully synced with TNT video. It's the only sensible way to watch. TNT audio has been all kinds of terrible. Inexperienced commentators about 0.5 seconds before the action. Inexcusable really.

#TheAshes #Ashes All down to you now Smith. 200 lead would be ideal.

#TheAshes All set up for Ben Stokes to play The Innings Of His Life. Bat until tea my dude.

#TheAshes I'm probably the biggest Zak Crawley apologist in England. But that was rubbish this morning! Out trying to send Starc to the cover boundary in the 1st innings is one thing; limply chipping one back to the bowler is pathetic. Hope he gets some runs in the next test.

Reminds me of watching Transworld Sport as a child in the early 90s. They'd have Bruce Hammal pretending to understand the rules of kabaddi, followed by him commentating some ice hockey, then a brief segment about street luge or something.

#TheAshes Has anyone found alternative commentary? I'm not that impressed by TNT.

I thought it might be possible to go to The Other Place with a fresh account and only follow cricket account. Still didn't work. Half my feed still weird and vaguely racist dog whistles.

#TheAshes After all the debate about opening batters. That's quite a cock-up by Australia that Usman Khawaja will be batting at No. 4 because he needed a poo!

After a 4am start today, I've concluded that a 4:45am start is the correct play for this test. 15 minutes to brew coffee and review the morning session before settling in for the rest of the day. #TheAshes

#ashes Jofra to the rescue!

Big-brained England losing those final wickets quickly as a tactical move to prevent Usman Khawaja from opening the batting. 🤔

Bloody rubbish! Didn’t even see out 33 overs. Smh

What’s Brook done there. Terrible way to get out!

The best thing about being (almost) six months sober is being able to stand at an empty hotel bar, waiting for the bar staff to arrive, without feeling anxious. I just wanted a diet coke and a burger.

The design of the test chamber in the Black Mesa research facility was poorly designed. Why weren’t the rotors started remotely from outside? Why was it necessary for a human to manually push the sample into the beam?

OSHA would surely have plenty to say about such a design.

Good to see Mia back. The bits towards the end about not owing anything to a past version of yourself that literally doesn’t exist… hits hard when you’re the wrong side of forty!

Lmao. Someone should tell Graham that saying nothing at all is also an option. What a twat!

I’m no longer on The Hell Site. Why is Glinner defending Trump?

Wouldn’t deflation cause a demand drop? If things are becoming cheaper over time, and the spending power of cash is increasing (deflation) it seems intuitive that people would hold out for cheaper prices in the future.

People becoming richer by not spending money seems like a really bad thing.

That’s deflation. As I understand it, deflation in the economy is really bad. The reason given is it incentivises people not to spend money.

I’ve been out of speedrunning lately. But I was excited to see that you’re hosting this. Gonna be a good one.

We’re going to bat for trans people in amateur cricket | Good Law Project Good Law Project are fighting back against the blanket exclusion of trans people from grassroots sports.

We think blanket, unjustified bans on trans participation in grassroots sport are unlawful.
