The Spin | How a small town near São Paulo made Brazil a standard bearer for cricket’s global growth A chance romance helped Poços de Caldas become a hotbed for the sport that, from East Timor to Nigeria, is spreading its wings like never before In the south-east of Brazil, about 250km due north of São Paulo, lies the town of Poços de Caldas, home to about 150,000 people and remarkable for a few reasons: its thermal baths, its magmatic rock structure – the town is home to Brazil’s first uranium ore concentration plant – and its love of cricket. “You walk down the street and you have people with English shirts, with Australian shirts, people with Test match names and numbers on their white polos,” says Roberta Moretti Avery. “You walk around Poços de Caldas, you feel like you’re in a foreign country with how much cricket stuff is walking around.” Continue reading...

The treatment of Ukrainian athletes at the Paralympics is getting ridiculous.

Ukrainian para-biathlete Oleksandra Kononova received a formal reprimand for wearing earrings saying "Stop War" with the Ukrainian flag at the background.

An incredible 89 for friend of Ukrainian cricket Sanju Samson in the World Cup final against New Zealand!

President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked international partners for supporting Ukraine during his address on Feb. 24, marking the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Zelensky said he hopes to one day welcome the U.S. president to Ukraine.

Australia loves you Ukraine, thank you for your bravery!!!

Today marks four years since Russia launched its illegal, unprovoked and unjustified full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a continuation of its armed aggression against the country that began in 2014.

Video: UkraineWorld

Four years ago, Russia attacked Ukraine. But Ukraine stood firm, stands firm, and will continue to stand strong.

We thank our Heroes for their brave hearts.

We thank the Ukrainian people for their resilience.

We thank the friends of Ukraine for their support.

We will prevail! 🇺🇦

4 years ago, Russia launched the largest land war in Europe since 1945

It was supposed to last 72 hours. Ukraine had other plans

Four years of buried soldiers, dark winters, and cities turned to rubble — and Ukraine is still here, still holding the line that matters for all of us.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Hugs for Tashinga Musekiwa. Sometimes it isn't your day ❤️
