"Outsider" does have a meaning in English, especially in betting/horseracing circles of someone with only an outside chance of winning. Opposite of a frontrunner. As in the phrase "rank outsider". Maybe this niche use of the term got borrowed into Italian?

06.08.2025 11:03 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Not sure weather was a factor. It was variable throughout the day. There was a shower at lunchtime as well. If anything, the break at the end of the day gave England relief from the pressure.
06.08.2025 11:00 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0A drum roll for every ball, and Siraj was chief cheerleader. When I left the ground on Sunday after they called off play, I was convinced there was no way they could recreate that atmosphere on Monday morning. But, somehow they did. Quite apart from the bowling, I think Siraj deserves the credit.
06.08.2025 08:30 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0It wasn't so much that England switched off, as India switched on. During the Root-Brook partnership, Gill looked defeated. Not showing any ideas on how to break it. Once Brook threw his wicket away, and especially after tea (must have been some pep talk), they were fired up, and so was the crowd.

So far every match this series has been a fifth day nailbiter. Looking forward to the finale at the Oval. I've got tickets.

Did you know that University College London has, sitting in a display case, the stuffed body of its founder, Jeremy Bentham?

Sad indeed. Very sorry to hear it. I will remember him as a very versatile researcher and a passionately engaged academic. He will be missed.
