My latest on the 3-0 series victory for Ireland against Zimbabwe.
Gaby Lewis continues to thrive with the captaincy, Zimbabwe have some young promise in their ranks and we see new coach Lloyd Tennant experiment.

The refusal to dream of anything bigger than the 9 teams currently in it is very disappointing.
Test cricket needs to expand to survive, keeping it on life support can only last so long.

When the FTP was made we presumed the ICC funding would be spread out evenly over the length of the deal, then the ICC chose to backload it towards the end of the deal which stuffed a lot of our plans.

Democrats think everything is an episode of the West Wing. They think theyβll all dress the same at the speech and someone will say βno Mr Trump sir you stopβ and Trump will melt down and repent right there, as if Aaron Sorkin scripted it all. Such nonsense.

The Taoiseachβs emotional response to unwelcome information - let alone outright opposition- has gradually become his defining characteristic as a leader.
He canβt abide being told he might be wrong.
This may be one of the most dangerous flaws as a leader.

A Cricinfo update with a crucial typo that reads: "42.3 Jansen to Phillips, 1 run
Out wide again, full, 129.0kph, Phillips gets low and slaps a cunt out to deep point"
(it should be "cut", obviously)

You obviously don't remember when your scum heroes murdered 35 innocent people with a bomb in Dublin. Also, did you know that when a Qassam explodes within 20 metres you vomit because of the vacuum? You don't but I do, because I've been through numerous bombardments in Israel.
Ian OβDoherty appear to be claiming that the Dublin bombings were done by the IRA not the UVF. Man is so fried online he doesnβt know whatβs reality and facts anymore.

Last night Drake was in the front row at WWE, and WWE didn't say anything about it. Do you know how uncool you have to be for WWE to avoid telling everyone you like WWE? They'd brag about Pauly Shore being there. And then during the Oscars, Conan mentioned what Not Like Us is about
