Utterly ridiculous situation

Seeing Bangladesh with a gun pace attack really wasn't on my 2024 bingo but here we are

Why am I staying up to watch Chris Woakes bowl in a country that isn't England?

It's silly, I really don't see the point. Better to organise and vote in the local elections if you want to send a message

Yeah Lancs is a real mess. Shouldn't be given the resources the club has. On the flip side, whenever people give Surrey shit for supposedly only winning because we have money and a test match ground, I can still point them in Lancashire's direction lol

I know nothing about the local politics of cricket in the region I must say. Would be a shame if parts of the county are getting overlooked because of wrong priorities etc

You're fighting the good fight on this one

Could you make an argument that it's a good way to make Lancs games more accessible for those who don't live near Manchester? From what I've been told it's fairly near the border and is only really used during the 100 anyway? Happy to be corrected if wrong

If I take my Tory hat off and accept that IHT is going to exist for the foreseeable, I'd use @samfr.bsky.social suggestion of increasing both the % charged but also radically increasing the nil rate band to, say, Β£5m for land. Think that would better achieve Labour's goal here

There's not really an issue for a farmer who dies roughly when expected. An earlier than planned death though and most family farmers are having to sell land

Just scrap IHT and you don't have a problem πŸ˜‰

When he's actually been bowled Jamie has also done pretty well. Agree with Jacks, a top score of 40 isn't great. Although I'll always take 25 off 12 from my opener

Bethell and Mahmood have been great, seen some good stuff from the Surrey trio of Jacks, Joverton, SCurran. I feel much better about our T20 side than ODI

I doubt I'll leave twitter, but if this can become the main site that would certainly be nice
